Eder and Graziano Pelle look set to start for Italy, while Belgium will field Marouane Fellaini in their Euro 2016 opener.
The two countries face each other tonight at 20:00 UK time. While Coach Antonio Conte's starting XI is still liable to being changed, there appears to be an agreement among sources in the media as to which men he is going to field.
La Gazzetta dello Sport, Il Sussidiario, Eurosport Italia and Il Sole 24 Ore all predict the same formation for the Azzurri.

The two countries face each other tonight at 20:00 UK time. While Coach Antonio Conte's starting XI is still liable to being changed, there appears to be an agreement among sources in the media as to which men he is going to field.
La Gazzetta dello Sport, Il Sussidiario, Eurosport Italia and Il Sole 24 Ore all predict the same formation for the Azzurri.
The Juventus block will be confirmed in defence, while Thiago Motta will be benched in favour of Daniele De Rossi.
Matteo Darmian will provide a more defensive option on the left flank than Stephan El Shaarawy, as Romanista Alessandro Florenzi is benched for Laziale Marco Parolo. Eder, in spite of not being very popular among fans, will start alongside Pelle in the attack.
Belgium field all of their stars as expected, with Fellaini a more defensive approach in the midfield, perhaps signalling a cautious approach by Coach Marc Wilmots.
Their weak link could be Laurent Ciman, the 30-year-old full-back who plays for Montreal Impact.
Italy probable XI: Buffon; Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini; Candreva, Parolo, De Rossi, Giaccherini, Darmian; Pellè, Eder.
Belgium probable XI: Courtois; Ciman, Alderweireld, Vermaelen, Vertonghen; Nainggolan, Fellaini, Witsel; De Bruyne, Lukaku, Hazard.
