A high on confidence Italy take on Austria in second game of Euro round of 16 at the Wembley Stadium on Saturday night.

On back of winning all 3 group games without conceding a goal, Italy are coming into the knockouts with momentum by their side. By beating Turkey and Switzerland and Wales, Italy extended its winning streak to 11 games. 

Austria though have had a mixed Euro so far, as after winning their opening game 3-1 against North Macedonia, they went down 2-0 against the Netherlands. Franco Foda's men though saved their best effort when it mattered the most and beat Ukraine 1-0 to qualify for the last 16.

The two countries last faced each other way back in 2008, with the game ending in a 2-2 draw.
