Who do we reckon will be the starting CF?

What formation will Prandelli be using? I reckon that Pazzini and Giovinco are his first choices.

 

[JuveJay]

I think 4-3-3.

I was going with Borini - Pazzini - Giovinco.

 

[Dostoevsky]

Well I'd play Osvlado

Nice to see Insigne there.

 

[Salvatore]

Goalkeeper, defense and midfield same as the Euros.

Front three of Giovinco, Borini and Osvaldo/Pazzini.

 

[Dostoevsky]

Borini isn't doing well at Pool. I wonder if Insigne - Osvaldo - Giovinco would work?

 

[Salvatore]

I haven't thought much of Borini, that was my prediction. That might work though, I'd opt for the younger players up front with the backing of that experience squad.

 

[Joe]

Buffon
Maggio - Barzagli - Bonucci - Balzaretti
De Rossi - Pirlo - Marchisio
Insigne - Pazzini/Osvaldo - Giovinco​

Although I rather not see any Juve players playing. I don't want them to risk injuries.

 

[JuveJay]

Balzaretti out injured, Peluso in.

Insigne .

 

[Joe]

Buffon
Barzagli - Bonucci - Ogbonna
Maggio - De Rossi - Pirlo - Marchisio - Giaccherini
Pazzini - Giovinco

Buffon
Maggio - Barzagli - Bonucci - Peluso/Ogb*
De Rossi - Pirlo - Marchisio
Diamanti
Pazzini - Giovinco​

Those are the only two formations I can realistically see Prandelli using.

 

[Seven]

Verratti, Insigne and Giovinco. Just eight more midgets and Italy will be the weirdest team ever.

 

[Nicholas]

I just hope none of our players suffer injuries.

 

[LowLife]

Buffon
Barzagli - Bonucci - Ogbonna
Maggio - De Rossi - Pirlo - Marchisio - Giaccherini
Pazzini - Giovinco
​

Those are the only two formations I can realistically see Prandelli using.

Italy's team is weaker than JUVE !

 

[Joe]

Sky Sport 24 probable XI: (3-5-2)

Buffon
Barzagli - Bonucci - Ogbonna
Maggio - Nocerino - Pirlo - Marchisio - Giaccherini
Giovinco - Osvaldo​

 

[Trequartista]

Nocerino

 

[Joe]

I think De Rossi picked up a knock.
