Both Macedonia and Italy have similar game style with a lot of shots coming from their back player and long lasting attacks. Macedonia's goal keepers are not on top of their game, which they try to make up for by playing a more aggressive defense. Italy play with the same three back players in the game for the entire 60 minutes, but their goal keeper is the key figure on the team. They take their time in offense and have poorly organized fast brakes, which results in a small number of goals scored. All of their previous 6 qualifying games for the 2014 EC were under this margin, all four with the Netherlands and Spain (both much better teams than Macedonia, especially the Dutch, who are capable of playing fast pace games).
