Carmine Nunziata takes the Italy U-20 national team to Chile after just two games in charge, as the 58-year-old took the reins in July of this year.

Italy vs Australia Prediction
Finding a winner for this match is not an easy task, as these two sides have never faced off in a competitive tournament and come into the clash with mixed form.
Italy’s expectations will be to reach the final, as our AI Supercomputer predicted the Azzurini’s fate in the U-20 WC and in order to do so Italy will need to start off with a win.
Despite their recent success in the U-20 AFC Asian Cup, Australia have picked-up just one win from their last four matches and we expect the Italian national team to earn all three points on Day Two of the tournament.
Prediction: Italy 3-1 Australia
