ROME, Italy (Reuters) - Italy will look to make it 11 wins in a row in all competitions against Wales in their last European Championship group match on Sunday, with last-16 qualification already secured, but some have doubts about how far the Azzurri can go in the tournament.

Roberto Mancini's side have won each of their last 10 games, going 965 minutes without conceding, while scoring 31 goals in that run.

"I think the first two games were easy. I don't think they've been really tested," former Arsenal and France midfielder Patrick Vieira told ITV Sport. Wales go into Sunday's match buoyed by a 2-0 win over Turkey in their last Group A match. That victory should prove enough to get them through to the last-16, but results elsewhere could still dictate how things pan out.
