Italy is on a 27-game unbeaten streak on their way to face a strong Turkey side at the Stadio Olimpico in Group A. Mancini’s team will play at home in Rome. 

The Italians have a formidable defence having kept several clean sheets. However, their attack is so fluid having scored 11 goals in the last two matches. 

The Turks head into this match on a six-game unbeaten run, keeping 3 clean sheets out of the six games. 

They will be hoping to enjoy a better outing than their last European Championship appearance, which ended in a group-stage exit in 2016 and also dent Italy’s hopes of winning their third European trophy. 

While Turkey is favoured to join Italy at the top of Group A, which also has Wales and Switzerland, they are unlikely to get anything out of Friday’s opener against Italy.
