The “Juventus bloc” is expected to be confirmed at the back, with Leonardo Bonucci, Andrea Barzagli and Giorgio Chiellini protecting Gigi Buffon.
However, Corriere della Sport reports that Marco Parolo will be given the nod in central midfield ahead of Alessandro Florenzi.
Parolo is a more defensive-minded player, and will shield the defence alongside Emmanuele Giaccherini and Thiago Motta.
Ciro Immobile and Graziano Pellè should start up-front, with Stephan El Shaarawy and Antonio Candreva in the wing-back roles.
Probable line-ups:
Italy: Buffon; Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini; Candreva, Parolo, Thiago Motta, Giaccherini, El Shaarawy; Immobile, Pellè
Finland: Hradecky; Arkivuo, Arajuuri, Toivio, Halsti, Uronen; Ring, Sparv, Hetemaj; Eremenko, Pohjanpaolo
