After defeating, with some difficulty, Armenia, Italy takes on Finland in the next match for the Euro 2020 qualifiers. The Scandinavian team has won four matches in a row and, due to this, Roberto Mancini wants to trust himself with who's in the best shape physically, redesigning his starting 11 from the last match.
At Tampereen Stadion in Finland, Marco Verratti will not play due to disqualification. In his place, Sensi will play with Jorginho, an important player for an Italian team that wants to dominate play. Barella and Pellegrini will compete for the third midfielder spot, even though the Roman may play as an attacking winger, a position he tried against Armenia.
Chiesa may start, but Bernardeschi may play in his spot. Andrea Belotti will start to no surprise, as he's enjoying a prolific time for both country and club.
Below is the expected line-up:
Italy (4-3-3): Donnarumma; Florenzi, Bonucci, Romagnoli, Emerson Palmieri; Pellegrini, Jorginho, Sensi; Bernardeschi, Belotti, El Shaarawy. Manager: Mancini
