Roberto Mancini's Italy will host Gareth Southgate's England in the UEFA Nations League on Friday night. Are you going to put money down on the game?
The 2020 UEFA European Championship winners are set to host the nation they beat in the final of that tournament in a Nations League encounter tonight, with both sides needing a win.
While Italy have claimed just a single victory out of their four group matches, England are yet to take three points in any of their four games so far.
Heading into the tie, the Three Lions are on a four-match winless streak and will be without two key players as they aim to return to form ahead of the upcoming 2022 FIFA World Cup.
Goalkeeper Jordan Pickford missed out on the latest squad through injury, while Manchester City centre-back John Stones is suspended.
The Azzurri, meanwhile, are without the services of Paris Saint-Germain superstar Marco Verratti and Roma's Lorenzo Pellegrini, who is absent due to muscle problems.
Previous meetings
Italy have not suffered a defeat to England in any of their past five encounters, while less than three goals have been scored in four of their previous five meetings.
Both teams have scored, meanwhile, in five of their past six matches on the international stage.
Italy and England have drawn their last four games against one another in 90 minutes, in a run that dates back to March 2015.
The Three Lions last beat Italy in 2012.
