Italy vs. Belgium | Probable line-ups: Raspadori starts, Lukaku out

Italy and Belgium are making changes ahead of today’s clash for third place in the UEFA Nations League, as Giacomo Raspadori is expected to start for the Azzurri.

The match at the Allianz Stadium in Turin kicks off at 14.00 UK time.

The Azzurri CT Roberto Mancini confirmed he will make changes and could rest Ballon d’Or candidate Jorginho against the Belgians.

Francesco Acerbi and Alessandro Bastoni are expected in the heart of the defence, with Giovanni Di Lorenzo and Emerson Palmieri expected on the sides in the 4-3-3 formation.

Lorenzo Pellegrini, Bryan Cristante and Manuel Locatelli could start in the midfield trident, with Domenico Berardi, Raspadori and Federico Chiesa up front.

Belgium arrive without Romelu Lukaku and Eden Hazard, while Kevin de Bruyne seems set to start on the bench.

The Red Devils are playing for their top position in the FIFA ranking but are ready to make a host of changes for the game in Turin.

Milan winger Alexis Saelemaekers could start at right against Italy today, with former Atalanta man Timothy Castagne at left.
