Italy vs Wales Prediction

Are there any hints that the Six Nations clash between Italy and Wales will turn into a rout? This is the key question we aim to answer in detail in our prediction. Over the past few years, both teams have disappointed each other twice. It's noteworthy that in almost all cases, there was no outstanding productivity (7:48, 22:21, 17:29, and 24:21).

Italy

Italy risks not adding another competition round to their achievements, as their current conditions leave much to be desired. Last time, the squad only managed a modest fifth place, recording just two victories. There have been no fundamental changes in the "Azzurri" lineup, which hinders reaching a truly elite level. Last weekend, Gonzalo Quesada's charges suffered a painful defeat to the Scots (19:31), failing to win any half in their favor.

Wales

Wales hardly looks like a pronounced outsider, not aiming for grand achievements. The team has the potential for solid progress. However, no steps in the right direction have been taken so far. The "Reds" marked four consecutive losses, offering significant resistance only to Fiji (19:24). The guys consistently fail in defense and their efficiency in attack does not inspire admiration either.

Editorial Prediction

In this match, in our opinion, one should not expect bright open battles. The teams involved surely fully understand that the slightest sluggishness will cost a colossal price, and we expect that at some point, the pace of the game will drop to a limit. Total under - the preferred option for the match.
