We said: Colombia Under-20s 2-2 Italy Under-20s (a.e.t, Italy to win on penalties)

Italy will prove to be much sterner opposition than Slovakia were for Colombia, but the Tricolor's consistency in front of goal should cancel out any defensive lapses in concentration. The Azzurrini also required a healthy dose of VAR controversy to get over the line against England, and a shootout from 12 yards may be required to separate the two sides, where Italy can emulate their seniors' feats from Euro 2020 to progress.
