The UEFA Euro 2020 kicks off with an exciting curtain-raiser this weekend as Italy lock horns with Turkey in a Group A fixture at the Stadio Olimpico on Friday. Both teams have impressive players in their ranks and will want to start their campaigns with a positive result.
Turkey are one of the many dark horses at Euro 2020 this year and can potentially cause the Italians a few problems this weekend. The away side eased past Moldova by a 2-0 margin earlier this week and will want to pull off an upset on Friday.
Italy, on the other hand, are the best team in their group on paper and have assembled a strong squad under the experienced Roberto Mancini. The Azzurri scored four goals against Czech Republic last weekend and will be confident ahead of this fixture.

Italy have suffered a massive blow a couple of days before their first Euro 2020 match with Lorenzo Pellegrini picking up an injury in training. Domenico Berardi and Federico Chiesa are Italy's attacking options and Mancini will have to choose between them to lead the line alongside Immobile and Insigne.
Marco Verratti is also carrying a knock and will likely be eased back into action at Euro 2020. Manuel Locatelli has enjoyed an excellent season and is likely to play a part in Italy's midfield.
