Roberto Mancini is expected to stick to a 3-5-2 system against Hungary tonight with Giacomo Raspadori and Wilfried Gnonto starting up front.

The Azzurri visit Hungary in Budapest tonight in the final match of the Nations League Group C.

It kicks off at 19.45 UK time.

A win would allow Mancini’s men to qualify for the Final Four for the second time in a row. The CT will likely keep the same system he adopted on Friday when the Azzurri beat England at San Siro.

Nevertheless, there will be a few changes as Alessandro Bastoni should replace Francesco Acerbi at the back after the ex-Lazio defender started against Gareth Southgate’s men.

Tommaso Pobega will likely get the nod in midfield along with Jorginho and Nicolò Barella while Gnonto will replace Gianluca Scamacca up front, partnering Raspadori, who was responsible for the winner against the Three Lions. Ciro Immobile is injured and also missed the game with England three days ago.
