These two teams will watch the upcoming World Cup from home. However, each of them uses this window as part of their preparation for the upcoming edition of the Nations League. Greece have been struggling in attack lately. And results like the 2-2 against Sweden a few days ago are more of an exception than a trend. Before that, the Greeks played 3 matches in which there was only 1 goal in total. The Italians are in transitional period, still without a coach and for this match, the team will be mostly young players. These same players only managed 1-0 win against Luxembourg on Wednesday. From the Italy squad, only Esposito, Nicolo Pizzilli, Marco Palestra and captain Gianluigi Donnarumma have previously played at senior level. As of Wednesday, no fewer than 15 players have made their debuts for the Azzurri. Greece has selected a strong squad for the match against Sweden, led by Benfica striker Vangelis Pavlidis in the absence of captain Tasos Bakasetas. Now at home againat Italy they will once again start the game with the best eleven.
