This Tuesday England will meet Italy in a crucial Euro 2024 qualifier – it will be the first time they’ve clashed at Wembley since they lost to the Azzurri in the 2021 Euro Final on penalties. However, did you also know Italy haven’t lost on English soil since 1977, so can’t they keep up the good record this midweek?
England Last Beat Italy at Home In 1977
England and Italy meet this Tuesday in a 2024 European Qualifier, in what will also be the first time the teams have played at Wembley since the Three Lions lost on penalties in the 2021 Final.
The overall England vs Italy head-to-heads have seen these two European heavyweights face-off 31 times over the years and it’s a close run thing.
Italy has the slight football bragging rights with 11 wins, to England’s 9, while there’s also been 11 draws.
However, when the sides have played on English soil, it’s not the Three Lions that have made full use of that home advantage – as they’ve FAILED to beat Italy in front of their home fans in the last six, a run that now stretches back to 1977.
Yes, you must go back seven home England games to find the last match they inflicted a win over Italy, which came with a 2-0 victory in a World Cup Qualifier in 1977 – with goals from Kevin Keegan and Trevor Brooking (watch below).

The Last Clash Played In England Ended 0-0
Since that Euro 2021 Final meeting at Wembley, England and Italy have met three times with the honours spread. We’ve had one win each and a draw, with that stalemate coming in their last matchup played in England.
That game was hosted at Molineux, the home ground of Wolverhampton Wanderers on June 11th 2022.
This draw kept up Italy’s run of six games vs England (and played in England) that they’ve managed to avoid defeat.
If you think this solid record of Italy will continue on Tuesday, you can back them at 6/5 in the ‘Double Chance’ market with Paddy Power.

Tuesday’s England vs Italy Match At Wembley A Repeat Of The 2021 Euro Final
The midweek England vs Italy Euro 2024 qualifier will also be a repeat of the final that was played at Wembley in 2021.
England fans won’t need reminding of the outcome there, but after a Luke Shaw 2nd minute strike it was Italy that levelled up in the 67th minute with a Leonardo Bonucci goal and with the match ending all square after 90 minutes and extra-time it was the Azzurri that went onto win the penalty shootout.
