Italy face Ukraine on Monday the 20th of November, on what could prove to be the decider for 2nd place in Group C.
A win tonight would see Italy go into 2nd place on goal difference, meaning it would be all to play for on Monday.
However if Italy lose tonight, Ukraine would have the upper hand going into Monday’s game, knowing they only need a draw to qualify.
