If Italy had got a point against England they wouldn't have needed so much reckoning but they lost a point against England which is why they have so much to worry about. Italy's next match is against North Macedonia where Italy are very likely to get full points. If Italy can get full points against North Macedonia then their points and Ukraine's points will be equal and Ukraine and Italy will fight next match with equal points which will be a tough fight for these two teams. Before thinking about how Italy will perform against Ukraine, Italy need to plan their next match because if they lose points in the next match, the match against Ukraine will be very difficult for them. Italy is one of the favorites against Ukraine but the problem is that it is difficult for the big teams to perform at their best when the pressure is on.
Italy needs to win the two remaining games to secure their spot. Otherwise, missing out on consecutive major tournaments is a real risk for them. It's tough to perform under pressure. If they win the next match, the deciding game will be against Ukraine, and Ukraine would also be determined to win for their qualification. Beating Ukraine won't be easy. But what if North Macedonia causes them problems? Let's positive Italy might qualify; it's challenging but not impossible.
