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.
