Cesare Prandelli has announced the starting lineup for the match on Tuesday evening against Serbia in Genoa for the Euro 2012 qualifiers. ITALY: Viviano; Zambrotta, Bonucci, Chiellini, Criscito, Marchisio, Palombo, Pirlo, Mauri, Pazzini, Cassano.

Compared to 0-0 on Friday in Northern Ireland, the coach has changed the module going from 4-3-3 to 4-4-2. In place of Pepe and the injured De Rossi, Marchisio and Palombo will be in the midfield. Another jewel from Sampdoria, Pazzini is preferred over Borriello to partner Cassano in attack. In defense Cassani leaves his place to Zambrotta. The only doubt concerns Bonucci, struggling with some physical problems: Gastaldello is ready on standby.

Prandelli speaking at the press conference said: "The winner gets three points, but also a good advantage for the qualification. Serbia has players that can win the game alone. Be careful of Krasic, he has incredible strength. They have great pride and personality, but we also have our weapons".

"I had thought more seriously about two center forwards plus Cassano, then without De Rossi I had to change my mind because he does not have a clone. Playing in Genoa did not affect my choices; Pazzini is playong only because he has the right moves. I chose him instead of Borriello after watching the DVD of Serbia. Cassano? This is his stadium; people will give us the push. I expect more from Antonio, as I do from everyone and even myself".
