Italy, Ventura will likely use the 3-4-3 formation against Macedonia
In the midfield, Marco Verratti, Daniele De Rossi and Lorenzo Pellegrini are injured (as well as Claudio Marchisio and Ricky Montolivo) so Ventura might use Marco Parolo alongisde Roberto Gagliardini. Upfront, the Italians will also have to do without Andrea Belotti as Ventura will be missing many key players for this game. Even so, he will still be able to count on Gigi Buffon, Andrea Barzagli, Leonardo Bonucci and Giorgio Chiellini at the back (formerly known as the "Blocco Juventino").
Here is how Italy can line-up against Macedonia:
Probable Itay lineup: (3-4-3): Buffon, Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini, Zappacosta, Parolo, Gagliardini, Darmian, Verdi, Immobile, Insigne.
