Win to stay on top of Nations League Group B

Italy's ready to return to the field. Tonight (8:45 p.m.), the national team faces Israel, a match valid for the fourth day of the Nations League. First in Group B with seven points won in the first three matches, Spalletti’s team is aiming for success to stay on top. The goal è to win the group so as to have a softer draw as far as future World Cup qualifiers are concerned.

The cityà of Udine è completely armored for the event. No risks of any kind are wanted to be taken. Coach Spalletti also does not want to take any risks and aims to field a national team determined to bring home success. On the eve of the match, the Azzurri coach unveiled only one lineup change: Vicario in goal instead of Donnarumma.

For the rest è remained of the starting eleven he preferred not to unbalance: "This time I do not say the formation the day before. I have not heard from the others". However, the feeling è that he has already made clear choices on who will play tonight in Udine.

Hypothetical one change per department. In addition to the noveltyà Vicario between the posts, very likely the presence of Buongiorno in the three of defense. The Napoli center back is expected to take Bastoni’s place. In midfield, Ricci looks set to start from the start (relay with Fagioli). Cambiaso could make way for Bellanova. Discounted, however, is the inclusion of Raspadori in place of Pellegrini (red card with Belgium). In front, Retegui is confirmed.
