This line-up features an all-Juventus back line as defenders Bonucci, Barzagli and Chiellini start in front of veteran 'keeper Gigi Buffon, and they will be extensively protected by two very deep-lying holding midfielders. Andrea Pirlo will look to dictate the game from this position while Daniele De Rossi will be the midfield enforcer looking to break down opposition attacks. Napoli's Lorenzo Insigne and Torino attacker Alessandro Cerci will roam behind the lone striker Mario Balotelli, the main goal threat in this team, and look to provide as much support for him as possible. Antonia Candreva will provide the width on the right wing, using his technique and pace to cause opposition full-backs trouble as well as using his stamina to help the team out defensively. AC Milan youngster Mattia De Sciglio will perform a similar role on the opposite flank.
