It seems to be a very attacking 4-4-2 system with Southampton hitman Graziano Pellè and Sampdoria’s current Serie A Capocannoniere Eder.
Antonio Candreva and Stephan El Shaarawy take wide roles in what could arguably be called a 4-2-4.
Marco Verratti pulls the midfield strings in Pirlo’s absence, while Matteo Darmian and Mattia De Sciglio are the full-backs.
The last time Italy faced Azerbaijan, Giorgio Chiellini registered an unusual record by scoring all three goals in a 2-1 victory.
The Nazionale are unbeaten in 48 qualifiers for major tournaments, winning 37, since a 3-1 defeat to France in September 2006.
