No wonders why Italy is called the dark horse of the tournament. Italy didn't qualify for the 2018 World Cup last time. But right after the take over of Roberto Mancini as the manager of Italy, the Italian national team was completely changed. And now they have 30 unbeaten straight matches. They are clearly one of the favorites to win the tournament. Fans are definitely expecting the continuation of Italy's winning streak.

Gaetano Castrovilli has been replaced by Lorenzo Pellegrini because of his injury. Also, Alessandro Florenzi's presence on the field is doubtful at this moment.

Italy's possible starting lineup:

Gianluigi Donnarumma; Leonardo Spinazzola, Giorgio Chiellini, Leonardo Bonucci, Giovanni Di Lorenzo; Jorginho, Manuel Locatelli, Nicolo Barella; Domenico Berardi, Lorenzo Insigne, Ciro Immobile

Thibaut Courtois; Jan Vertonghen, Toby Alderweireld, Thomas Vermaelen; Thorgan Hazard, Axel Witsel, Youri Tielemans, Thomas Meunier; Yannick Carrasco, Dries Mertens, Romelu Lukaku

Head to head:
