The Biało-Czerwoni will play in Reggio nell’Emilia as group leaders, but they will not be favorites of the Sunday meeting. However, the numbers of Brzęczek’s staff may be admirable. The Poles have not conceded a goal for 292 minutes and will have the opportunity to extend this result on Sunday.

The selector said during the press conference that the decision as to the squad will not be made until the evening, but there will be a lot of changes compared to the match against Ukraine. The coach had already confirmed that Wojciech Szczęsny would stand between the posts. Bartosz Bereszyński is to play again in the defensive, and Jan Bednarek, Kamil Glik and Tomasz Kędziora will probably play next to him.
In the middle of the field we will certainly not see Mateusz Klich, who pauses for the yellow cards received. The biggest factor seems to be which players will run onto the pitch as defensive midfielders. Grzegorz Krychowiak and Jakub Moder will probably get a chance, but the coach may also bet on Jacek Góralski and Karol Linetti. Piotr Zieliński will be placed slightly higher. Sebastian Szymański and Kamil Grosicki will perform on the wings. Of course, Robert Lewandowski will return to the attack.

The Italians will have to cope without Leonardo Bonucci, who has contracted a muscular injury. He will heal her already in Turin. Moise Kean also dropped out of the squad. In his place, Stegano Okaka was appointed. On the bench we will not see Roberto Mancini, who is still in isolation. Ciro Immobile is also in quarantine. The ranking of Italians, even without a few important names, looks impressive and the hosts will be the favorite of today’s match.
Expected lineups:
Italy: Gianluigi Donnarumma – Alessandro Florenzi, Alessio Romagnoli, Francesco Acerbi, Emerson Palmieri – Nicola Barella, Jorginho, Manuel Locatelli, Domenico Berardi – Andrea Belotti, Lorenzo Insigne
Poland: Wojciech Szczęsny – Tomasz Kędziora, Kamil Glik, Jan Bednarek, Bartosz Bereszyński – Sebastian Szymański, Grzegorz Krychowiak, Piotr Zieliński, Jakub Moder, Kamil Grosicki – Robert Lewandowski
