Analysis Italy

The home team plays its 2nd friendly match of the year, after having faced Netherlands, in a friendly that ended with the final score: Netherlands (1‑2) Italy. This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 10 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses in away matches, with 33 goals scored and 20 conceded; against 8 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses at their stadium, with 17 goals scored and 10 conceded. In the last 10 home matches Italy has won 5, tied 3 and lost 2. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches. Goals have been frequent in their home matches, as 7 of the last 15 have ended with Under 1,5 goals and 12 out of 15 have ended with Under 2,5 goals. They have conceded the first goal in 5 of their 15 matches, and have only turned the score around in 1.

Italy's lastest victory against the Netherlands, at 2-1, adds up to their second consecutive victory in official matches: the goals were signed by Éder and Bonucci. In this friendly match coach Gian Piero Ventura will use the usual 3-5-2 tactic with Immobile and Belotti serving as their top forward players. For this match the home team's coach has called wingers El Sharaawy and Ricardo Montolivo, and Emerson Palmieri.

Confirmed Lineup: Simone Scuffet, Andrea Conti, Danilo D'Ambrosio, Gianmarco Ferrari, Mattia Caldara, Roberto Gagliardini, Daniele Baselli, Domenico Berardi, Andrea Petagna, Gianluca Lapadula, Federico Chiesa.

Analysis San Marino

The away team plays its 3rd friendly match of the year. In the previous friendly matches they registered the following final scores: San Marino (0‑2) Moldova and San Marino (0‑2) Andorra. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 15 losses in away matches, with 2 goals scored and 70 conceded; against 1 win, 2 draws and 12 losses at their stadium, with 4 goals scored and 50 conceded. In their last match, for the WC Qualification Europe, they got a home loss against Czech Republic by (0‑6). In the last 6 away matches San Marino has lost 6. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches, and their offense hasn’t been one of their best features, as they haven’t scored any goals in 9 of the last 10 matches. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first. In fact, they haven’t opened up the score in the last 13 matches. In 13 matches, they have conceded the first goal 13 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

San Marin arrives at this friendly match after a heavy defeat against the Czech Republic,0-6, adding the tenth consecutive defeat in several competitions. Usually coach Pierangelo Manzaroli uses a 5-4-1 formtion favoring counterattacks by the strikers: Zafferani and Vitaioli are the usual bets on the ailes. It seems that the coach must risk the same eleven of the last clash.

Confirmed Lineup: Elia Benedettini, Davide Cesarini, Michele Cervellini, Cristian Brolli, Juri Biordi, Michele Cevoli, L. Tosi, Adolfo Hirsch, Alessandro Golinucci, Matteo Vitaioli, Danilo Rinaldi.
