USA vs Italy Predictions 


Both sides have experienced rosters who played a lot of tournaments recently. While I do expect Italy to advance, I am predicting it to be in a close match, so USA to win in +3.5 handicap is tipped. 
  • USA vs Italy Predictions 
  • Head to Head 
  • USA Form 
  • Italy Form 

  • Italy have failed to cover a –3.5 handicap in 5 of their last 7 matches against USA. 
  • USA have won in a +3.5 handicap in their last 10 matches. 

Head to Head 


Italy have a 12-7 advantage against the USA in 19 matches. 

The most recent head to head duel was won by Italy 15-12 in July 2023. 

USA Form 


The United States ended the first phase with a disappointing record of two defeats and one victory. 

They started the tournament with a thriller clash against Montenegro which resulted in a 16-15 loss. As expected, the USA bounced back in the second round and beat Japan 18-5. 

Battle for the top of the group was lost in the third round as the Serbians edged the USA 14-12. 

Italy Form 


Italy had a decent showing in the first phase where they earned two victories and lost one match. 

They had zero trouble against the underdogs Kazakhstan 33-3 and Romania 16-10. 

The 1st place decided was lost in a thriller match against the reigning champions Hungary 15-14. 

Verdict

Italy are slightly ahead in terms of quality, but elimination matches between two experienced sides have a high chance of being decided by one goal. I will back the underdogs USA to win in a +3.5 handicap.
