Poland and Italy know any further slip-ups in the UEFA Nations League will hand over the initiative to Portugal who lead the group with six points. The last time these two teams met, they played out a 1-1 draw with Jorginho securing from the spot to help Italy salvage a point at home. Poland’s confidence would have taken a shattering too after losing 2-3 at home to 2016 Euro winners Portugal. Here's all match information on Poland vs Italy game including live telecast, free live streaming, match timings, venue details and so on.

Federico Bernardeschi looks likely to keep Ciro Immobile out of the starting eleven once again after his good showing against Ukraine. Italy have been on the decline for several months now with their last victory coming 10 matches ago against a weak Saudi Arabia side. Scoring goal has been a real problem, and although Napoli’s Lorenzo Insigne has had a great run with his club, he has often failed to perform with the national team. Jorginho is the main man in midfield and is the anchor of the side who also pops up with the goals. The partnership of Georgio Chiellini and Leonardo Bonnuci gives the team stability at the back, but Italy needs goals tonight.

Poland have a well-balanced team boasting of the likes of Robert Lewandowski and Krzysztof Piatek but are failing to get the job done. Lewa secured his 100th cap against Portugal last time out and will need the support of all his players if they are to overcome the Italians. Wojciech Szczesny should start ahead of Lukasz Fabianski after the later started against Portugal. Jakub Blaszczykowski put up a strong showing last time and may have done enough to earn a place in the starting eleven for Poland.

Roberto Mancini era in Italian football is under real threat after a string of under-par performances, and it is the Italian who is in a more desperate situation compared to his Polish counterpart. He will want his defence to hold firm in the wake of some real pressure expected to come from the hosts and at the same time hope for some luck at the other end of the field. It will be interesting to see the how much patience the Italian FA show with the former Manchester City boss if they go down against the Polish team.
