Euro 2008 - 13.06.2008

[Ledi17]

Italy - Romania


Last 5 matches for Italy:
Holland - Italy 3-0
Italy - Belgium 3-1
Spain - Italy 1-0
Italy - Portugal 3-1
Italy - Faroe Islands 3-1

Team news: Roberto Donadoni will surely ring the changes for this game. Marco Materazzi and Andrea Barzagli are both set to be dropped, with Giorgio Chiellini and Fabio Grosso coming in to form a defensive reshuffle. Daniele De Rossi will certainly start in midfield, as will new captain Alex Del Piero up-front. Antonio Cassano is still only likely to be on the substitutes bench.
Probable starting: Buffon; Zambrotta, Panucci, Chiellini, Grosso; De Rossi, Pirlo, Ambrosini; Camoranesi, Toni, Del Piero


Last 5 matches for Romania:
Romania - France 0-0
Romania - Montenegro 4-0
Romania - Russia 3-0
Israel - Romania 1-0
Romania - Albania 6-1

Team news: Romania will play the same disciplined system they employed successfully against France. Ciprian Marica will recover from a head injury but will probably be on the bench, with Daniel Niculae preferred. Christian Chivu will again play in centre midfield following his outstanding performance on Monday. Nicolae Dica may get the nod on the left of midfield after impressing in training this week.
Probable starting: Lobont; Contra, Tamas, Goian, Rat; Nicolita, Codrea, Chivu, Dica; D Niculae, Mutu


Prediction: 1 (1.80 - Stanjames)


Good Luck!!!
