Italy-England official line-ups: predicting goalscorers, cautions and shooters for the Nations League clash. The latest tips.
It’s less and less until the kick-off of Italy-England, a very important match for the Azzurri, who want to put the negative period behind them with a convincing performance, despite the numerous injuries that have plagued Roberto Mancini’s team. Here are the formation choices:
- ITALIA Donnarumma, Di Lorenzo, Bonucci, Acerbi, Toloi, Cristante, Jorginho, Barella, Di Marco, Raspadori, Scamacca.
- INGHILTERRA Pope, James, Dier, Maguire, Walker, Rice, Bellingham, Sterling, Foden, Saka, Kane.
Italy v England, goalscorers prediction
Southgate’s men inevitably start as favourites, as they face an Italy still in an experimental phase, heavily re-staffed and with countless defections. An important test, in this sense, will be represented by the defensive hold, which too often in recent official outings has left something to be desired. Kane’s physicality and flair could put the Azzurri’s rearguard in great difficulty, with the Tottenham striker a candidate to get on the scoresheet on at least one occasion.
Italy-England, likely cautions and shooters
Italy could cause the England rearguard some problems with long-range shots, with Barella looking the most likely to finish at least once in the opponent’s goal. Bonucci and Maguire could end up on the naughty notebooks: the Bellingham marksman option is also included in no small part, with Foden also likely to register an assist.
