Wales can guarantee themselves the second spot in the group and a place in the knockout stages of the Euro 2020 fixtures with a draw against Italy.

A brilliant 2-0 win over Turkey last time out leaves them on four points from their first two games, meaning they can no longer finish bottom of the group and progression to the round of 16 is almost certain.

A win over Italy would see Rob Page's side top the group and plot their route to the final, but Roberto Mancini's men have been the stand-out performers of the Euros so far.

The Italians have recorded 3-0 wins over both Turkey and Switzerland, and have already secured their spot in the knockout rounds.

Finding a way past Italy's resilient defence will prove to be Gareth Bale and co's biggest test to date.

Our prediction: Italy v Wales

Wales will want to build momentum going into the knockout stages, but Italy's defence should stop them in their tracks.

Bale's threat means Wales always have a goal in them, but Italy's midfield will win the battle in the middle of the park and ensure they dominate possession.

Ciro Immobile and Manuel Locatelli both have two goals to their name and will hope to add to their tallies in the race for the Golden Boot.

Our prediction: Italy 3-1 Wales (16/1 at bet365)
