Italy visit Luxembourg with eight debutants in the starting XI under caretaker coach Silvio Baldini tonight.
It kicks off at 20:45 CET (19:45 BST) at the Stade de Luxembourg.
It’s another sad day for Italy as the other national teams prepare for the World Cup, while the Azzurri are about to finish the season with their last two games in 2025-26.
The first one is played tonight in Luxembourg. Caretaker coach Silvio Baldini, temporarily promoted from the U21, has called up 19 debutants and just one established international player, captain Gigio Donnarumma, who will start in goal tonight.
Besides Donnarumma, only Pio Esposito (Inter) and Niccolò Pisilli (Roma) have already played at an international level, so eight players expected to feature in the Azzurri XI will make their debut tonight, plus those coming on from the bench later on.
Marco Palestra is not fully fit, so Costantino Favasuli (Benevento) will start instead as a right-back.
There seems to be just one line-up doubt for the Azzurri with either Davide Bartesaghi or Honest Ahanor starting as a left-back.
According to Sky Sport and Tuttosport, Bartesaghi is the favourite, while Gazzetta claims that Ahanor will start.
Italy’s second game in June will be played away in Greece on Sunday, June 7.
