Italy will lock horns with Austria at the Wembley Stadium on Saturday night, hoping to pick up a positive result and progress into the quarter-finals of the Euro 2020 tournament. The Azzurri will be heading into the match on the back of a narrow 1-0 win over Wales, whereas Franco Foda’s men recorded a similar 1-0 victory over Ukraine on Matchday 3.
Roberto Mancini will probably opt for the 4-3-3 formation with several tweaks from the last game. Below is the 4-3-3 Italy Predicted Lineup Vs Austria.
4-3-3 Italy Predicted Lineup Vs Austria
Defence
Gianluigi Donnarumma is expected to start in goal for the upcoming encounter. The AC Milan shot-stopper would be looking to put up a strong performance and secure a clean sheet on Saturday.
Leonardo Bonucci will form the centre-half partnership with Francesco Acerbi at the heart of Italy’s backline.
Leonardo Spinazzola is a guaranteed starter at the left-back position, whereas Giovanni Di Lorenzo will fill in on the right flank in the absence of Alessandro Florenzi. The duo would be expected to stay compact and keep their shape defensively.
Midfield
Jorginho is expected to start in the central midfield position, whereas Nicolo Barella will slot in as the defensive midfielder. The pair would be looking to put up a strong performance and dominate the midfield proceedings against Denmark. On the other hand, Manuel Locatelli seems likely to start in a more advanced position.
Matteo Pessina will have to settle for a place on the bench but could be brought on in the latter stages of the game if needed.
Attack
Lorenzo Insigne and Domenico Berardi will take up the wide positions, playing on the left and right-wing respectively.
Ciro Immobile is expected to lead the line for his side against Austria. The 31-year-old would hope to get his name on the scoresheet when he faces off against the Austrian defence that has conceded three goals in their last three games.
