The USA U20 and Italy U20 will be contesting for one of the slots in the U20 World Cup quarter-finals. The two nations will clash in the round of 16, and we have a prediction for the match below.
Recent results would place the USA as favorites here. The last two matches featuring these nations’ U20 teams, however, ended in Italy’s favor. That was close to two decades ago and will have no impact on this.
The USA U20 won their opening two group games but couldn't keep up in the third. They are coming off a 2-1 defeat to South Africa. By the time they faced the African champions, their slot here was secure. We therefore expect to see a rejuvenated USA side ready for this.
Italy also started their tournament on a winning note, beating Australia U20. The European nation, however, couldn’t build on that 1-0 victory. They drew 2-2 with Cuba before losing narrowly to Argentina (1-0).
Four points were enough to book them this slot from Group D. The Italians have curiously become more attacking, dropping their traditional insistence on defending.
In their last 10 matches, Italy U20 failed to score only twice, and in those two matches, they ended up losing. A common stat in their matches in recent times has been over 2.5 goals being scored. Seven of the last 10 have produced that.

Our USA -20 vs Italy -20 Prediction
This could easily pass as the biggest game of the round of 16. The only two previous meetings between these nations produced six goals, with Italy winning both matches. That was a while back, though we still feel this could produce a high-scoring rematch.
The USA have scored 13 times in only their three matches here but kept just one clean sheet. Italy has also been scoring a lot lately, and they will want to carry the same run to the knockout rounds. Our prediction for the USA U20 v Italy U20 is for both teams to score and over 2.5 goals.
