Italy begin a decisive few days as they take on North Macedonia in a pivotal Euro 2024 qualifier tonight.
There is a real danger that the Italians, the reigning European champions after their victory over England at Wembley in 2021, are not involved in next summer's tournament in Germany. That would be another disastrous blow for Italy, who missed the World Cup last year after a play-off defeat to North Macedonia.
England have already secured top spot in Group C, but the race for second is set for a thrilling conclusion. As it stands, Italy trail Ukraine by three points, but they have a game in hand.
That is tonight's clash on home soil, with the Azzurri looking to secure victory before travelling to face Ukraine when a place at Euro 2024 will be on the line.
If Italy beat North Macedonia, a point against Ukraine will be enough to qualify. Should they drop points tonight though, a victory will be needed on Monday night when they face Ukraine in Germany.
