Italy – possible starting line-ups:
“The Squadra Azzurra” replaced the coach during the qualifying cycle. To be more precise, Mancini, who won the previous Euro but did not lead his players to the World Cup, actually fled to Saudi Arabia. Spalletti, who had replaced him, completed the task and took 2nd place, but that happened ahead of Ukraine only due to additional indicators.
The results were more convincing in 2024, in a friendly format. The team defeated both Venezuela and Ecuador, scoring strictly 2 goals each, in March. Speaking about this summer training camp, there has already been a goalless draw in the struggle with Turkey; the team was clearly expecting more at the home arena.
Bosnia – possible starting line-ups:
“The Golden Lilies” also played against the Ukrainians in the qualifying round, but that happened in March, as part of the drawing for the last tickets to the Euro. The team managed to open the score on the native field thanks to Matvienko’s own goal. Still, “the Yellow and Blues” turned the tide of the confrontation in the end of the game, in just 3-4 minutes, winning with a 2-1 score.
As for the battle against England, the team was led by Sergej Barbarez. This is actually the first such experience for the 52-year-old ex-striker. The debut, as expected, did not go well: “Three Lions” scored 3 unanswered goals in Newcastle.
