Turkey-Italy is valid for the qualifiers for the upcoming Under-21 European Championship and is played today, Tuesday, September 12, at 6:30 p.m.: tv, formations, predictions
Carmine Nunziata’s first match on the bench of the National Under-21 team definitely left a bitter taste in the mouth. Zero to zero against Latvia and azzurrini postponed to today, when always away they will face Turkey that a few days ago lost to Ireland.
The performance was there. It lacked goals, which are crucial in games like these. Those goals, however, might as well be found today by Baldanzi, who has been recovered by the Azzurri coach and will have a starting jersey in the 4-3-2-1 that the new technical commissioner plans to send out late this afternoon. Needless to say, of course, that a victory is needed against a formation that is in any case difficult to face and that has every desire to put behind it a resounding comeback loss. But the Azzurrini, in their own ropes, have those technical qualities that are needed to succeed in the victory.
As mentioned against Latvia, only goals were missing. That over Baldanzi could find them Colombo, who is currently favored over Nasti for the role of center forward. For the rest the choices should be made, with little chance of seeing many upsets. A win is needed. And Italy should be able to do it.
Cesare Casadei
The Prediction
Also because of a defense that is certainly not so granitic, Nunziata’s Italy has the cards to succeed in finding the first three points in this qualifying round. A match that the Azzurrini should be able to bring home, especially if they manage to concretize that amount of play that was also seen against Latvia. In short, external victory. Finally, too.
The probable lineups of Turkey-Italy
- TURKEY (4-3-1-2): Dogan; Kaan, Sardar, Ravil, Ozcan; Potur, Turkmen, Kenan Yldiz; Elmaz; Yardimci, Enis Destan.
- ITALY (4-3-2-1): Desplanches; Pirola, Zanotti, Ghilardi, Ruggeri; Bove, Casadei, Miretti; Baldanzi, Oristanio; Colombo.
POSSIBLE EXACT RESULT: 0-2
