Euro 2020 gets underway this evening with Italy taking on Turkey in Rome in the tournament’s opening fixture.
Roberto Mancini’s side are unbeaten in their last 27 fixtures, a run stretching back to 2018, and will hope to avoid a setback on home soil to kick-start their campaign.
Turkey, meanwhile, are another nation tipped to enjoy success and even took four points off France in qualifying. They will perhaps be the surprise package in Group A and a win over a rampant Italy would underline that.
