Form and Preparation

Italy reached the quarter-finals after a convincing 3:0 victory over Denmark in the round of 16. The Italians won the individual sets 25:22, 25:16 and 25:11 and controlled the match for most of the time.

It was Italy’s sixth consecutive victory at the European Championship. Ferdinando De Giorgi’s team finished the group stage with five wins from five matches, including victories over Sweden, Greece, Slovakia, Czechia and Slovenia.

Finland came through a much tougher round-of-16 match. The Finns defeated Greece 3:2 after 22:25, 25:16, 22:25, 25:23 and 15:13, twice falling behind in sets before completing the comeback.

Before the Match

Italy enter the match on a run of six consecutive victories at EuroVolley 2026. After five wins in the group, the team maintained its momentum in the knockout stage, not allowing Denmark to win a single set.

Finland have already shown character in the decisive moments. Against Greece, the team was just one lost set away from elimination, but won the fourth set 25:23 and the tie-break 15:13.

At stake is a place in the semi-finals in Milan on 25 September. The winner of Italy – Finland will face the winner of the France – Romania quarter-final.

The provided odds give Italy a significant advantage – 1.07 for a win, while a Finland victory is priced at 7.50.
