Preview for Italy v Türkiye
Türkiye are still on the hunt for their first points in the Nations League as they take on Roberto Mancini’s Italy in Bologna.
Vincenzo Montella’s side are newly promoted to League A but have found it tough going so far, and have scored just once in three defeats in this window.
Montella is in dire need of points at Stadio Dall’Ara, as another loss would surely make relegation inevitable.
Mancini won the Euros with Italy but inherits a team short of stars.
They were strong in a 1-1 draw with France on Friday night and the former Manchester City man is confident of signs of progress.
He said: “We move forward one step at a time
“In Paris, I saw a real team. Now we have little time to rest, I will have to make some changes.”

Mancini will make changes and is lacking star power but has shown signs of organisation and discipline. They will be hard to beat but who is going to score the goals?
