Preview: Italy vs Greece
Italy come into this game with a perfect record so far in qualifiers. The Azzurri have picked up 18 points from their first six games, but considering they're in a very comfortable group with the likes of Finland, Armenia, Greece, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Liechtenstein for company, the four-time World Cup winners were expected to top the group. Especially after failing to qualify for the 2018 World Cup after being blocked by Sweden following losing 1-0 in a two-legged play-off.
Roberto Mancini has righted the ship since then, and after beating Finland 2-1 in September, the Azzurri will want to kick off their latest round of EURO 2020 qualifying fixtures by beating Greece in front of their home fans at the Stadio Olimpico.
