Overview

• Raspadori and Locatelli are expected to come into the XI as Italy tilt toward a more balanced setup, with reports indicating a 4-3-3 after the all‑attack approach used against Estonia.
• Gattuso warned Israel’s main threat comes in transition and indicated selection would reflect the need for greater control in midfield.
• Most of the squad trained before flying to Debrecen, with Scamacca unavailable due to a knee issue and Zaccagni working separately after a knock.
• The match, designated as Israel’s home fixture, will be played at Debrecen’s Nagyerdei Stadion for safety reasons, kicking off Monday at 19:45 BST with UK pay‑per‑view on Amazon Prime Video (£2.49).
• Group I pressure is high with Norway on 12 points, Israel on 9 and Italy on 6, and a win would move Italy above Israel with a game in hand.
