Italy have been very good this season while Wales have been below par. I can see Italy taking this game by more than eight points.

Head to Head

Italy U20 beat Wales U20 29-25 at home last season.

Wales U-20 Form

Wales have struggled this season to make any sort of impression. Their solitary victory came against Scotland in the opening round, but they have been pretty poor since.

After winning in round one, Wales were well beaten in England and Ireland. That was followed by a home 45-12 thrashing by France last week.

Wales have nothing but pride to play for so may look to change things up and give everyone a run.

Italy U-20 Form

Italy have had another impressive year in the U20 Six nations. They have won two and lost two of their four games. Victory here could send them to third if France loses to England.

The Italians were beaten 36-11 in round one at home by England but have since been very good. They took Ireland to the wire in round two, losing 23-22 away from home.

Round three saw Italy get a massive result in France, beating the hosts 23-20 in a cracking contest. Last week, Italy ran Scotland to shreds on home soil, winning the game 47-14.

Italy are likely to be at full strength with the knowledge that victory could put them in third if France slip up.

Verdict

Wales v Italy U20

I am backing Italy to cover the -8 handicap in Wales.
