This evening at San Siro Ventura's Italy clashes against Sweden for the return match of the World Cup playoffs. After the 1-0 defeat suffered away from home, the Azzurri were called upon to undertake a feat to go to Russia: to win with a two-goal difference. Otherwise, it would be a historic setback, as happened in 1958. Coach Giampiero Ventura is thinking of fresh forces: in midfield Florenzi in place of the suspended Verratti and Jorginho in place of De Rossi, in attack Gabbiadini in place of Belotti.
These are the probable formations of Italy-Sweden:
Italy (3-5-2):
1 Buffon, 15 Barzagli, 19 Bonucci, 3 Chiellini, 6 Candreva, 8 Parolo, 14 Jorginho, 7 Florenzi, 4 Darmian, 11 Immobile, 23 Gabbiadini (12 Donnarumma, 2 Rugani, 13 Astori, 21 Zappacosta, 8 D'Ambrosio, 5 Gagliardini, 16 De Rossi, 20 Bernardeschi, 10 Insigne, 9 Belotti, 17 Eder, 14 Perin).
Sweden (4-4-2)
1 Olsen, 2 Lustig, 3 Lindelof, 4 Granqvist, 6 Augustinsson, 17 Claesson, 7 Larsson, 13 Johansson, 10 Forsberg, 20 Toivonen, 9 Berg. (12 Johnsson, 23 Nordfeldt, 16 Krafth, 5 Olsson, 11 Guidetti, 14 Helander, 15 Svensson, 18 Jansson, 19 Rohden, 21 Thelin, 22 Sema). All.: Andersson. Referee: Lahoz (Spain).
