Italy are without a home victory in their last five attempts, equalling the worst ever run set from 1923 to 1925.
The Azzurri were held 1-1 by Ukraine in this evening’s friendly in Genoa.
That was the fifth consecutive stalemate on Italian soil after identical 1-1 draws with Poland, the Netherlands and Macedonia.
There was also a 0-0 with Sweden at San Siro in Milan in November 2017, which famously ruled them out of the World Cup.
