Euro 2020 Qualification

Kick-off at 19:45 UK/ 20:45 CET
Venue: Rheinpark Stadion (Vaduz).
Match preview
Italy has become a candidate in the group since matchday one, and it has come as no surprise that they have wrapped up their place in the finals next summer with games remaining.
While Roberto Mancini has watched his side were forced to work hard to overcome Finland and Greece in their last two games, it was exactly what they needed with them less competitive fixtures ahead.
Mancini and the group of players will undoubtedly have their eyes on trying to end the qualifying campaign with a 100% record, something that has rarely been achieved in recent years.
However, now is the time for Mancini to start handing over more international experience to the reserve members of the squad, with as many as 13 players in the group after winning 10 caps or fewer.
Given that the 26-man squad named for this double header, Mancini seems poised to ring the changes, even though that may not help efforts to cause a shock Liechtenstein in Vaduz.
Being on the receiving end of a 6-0 thrashing in the recent Parma in March will still be fresh in their memory, and it is part of a five-game streak without scoring.
However, little fish deserves credit for how they have bounced back, with a 1-1 draw in Greece is one of the most important results in their history.
Finishing strong to claim a share of the spoils against Armenia at the weekend also showed that the group of players started to find some form ahead of welcoming one form of international football teams to the Rheinpark Stadion.
