The live stream of Italy vs Austria will begin shortly. Both teams are hoping to face Denmark in the quarterfinals following Denmark's impressive 4-0 win over Wales.

Italy was arguably the best team at Euro 2020 so far. They won three matches in Group A, conceding seven goals and not conceding a single goal, topping the table. They are a formidable opponent for any team in this tournament.

Former Man City boss Roberto Mancini has the Azzurri playing some truly beautiful soccer. Their defense has yet to be tested, but they are unstoppable in attack. In fact, the Italians are the first team to get through the group stage with three wins and three draws. They will be one of the favorites to win this match as well.

But Austria is not just here to make up the numbers. With wins over North Macedonia and Ukraine, they have advanced through the group stage in second place. Nevertheless, they will need to find a new level if they are to make a turnaround here. David Alaba, who will join Real Madrid this summer, will no doubt keep Austria's left side of the defense busy. [Meanwhile, Italy returned all of the starters they rested in the final group game and replaced several players. The injured Giorgino Chiellini is the only absentee, but otherwise there is quality in every position.

Italy Donnarumma, Di Lorenzo, Bonucci, Acerbi, Spinazzola, Barella, Jorginho, Verratti, Berardi, Immobile, Insigne
