Italy are unbeaten in 8 of their last 10 away matches (6W, 2D, 2L).

Tactical Overview

Silvio Baldini is expected to implement a 4-3-3 system designed to maximize a recent-form average of 59% possession. Italy enters this friendly with a formidable defensive record, trending at just 0.22 xG conceded per game in recent-form weighted metrics. Luxembourg will struggle to maintain their shape without midfield anchor Leandro Barreiro, who is unavailable for this clash. The hosts have lost seven of their last ten matches across all competitions, including a 2-0 home defeat to Germany where they were largely pinned back. Italy has been prolific on their travels, scoring 20 goals across their last ten away fixtures and averaging 6.56 shots on target per game in recent form. With Sandro Tonali and N. Barella controlling the tempo, the Azzurri are likely to pin Luxembourg into a low block for the duration of the match.
