England Italy behind closed doors:

What happens when England play Italy in a football match? Well, for one thing, it’s not always played in England. In fact, the countries have met on the pitch a whopping 42 times and this weekend they will meet again in a friendly. The last time they met was in March 2019 at Wembley Stadium and the game ended 1-1. It was an exciting game to watch, with both teams scoring within five minutes of each other.

The first time these two teams played each other was way back in April 1934. It was a friendly game and it ended 2-2. Since then, England have won 18 games against Italy and lost 16 games against them. In total, there have been 24 draws between these two teams.

The upcoming match will be played at the Stadio Olympico di Roma on Tuesday September 3rd 2019 at 7:45pm local time (2:45pm BST). The stadium is located just outside Rome.
