This new tournament format has been criticised as overly-complicated, but you can read more about it and Italy’s group – which includes Portugal – in our handy guide.
This is also the first competitive match for Italy CT Roberto Mancini, who has to pick up the pieces after Gian Piero Ventura failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup.
While Poland did enter with expectations of being dark horses after winning nine out of 10 qualifiers, they crashed out in the first round and their new boss is Jerzy Brzeczek.
There are eight members of the current Poland squad who ply their trade in Serie A, including Piotr Zielinski, Arkadiusz Milik, Wojciech Szczesny and Bartosz Bereszynski.
Italy have a strong record against Poland, winning five, drawing six and losing only three.
The Nazionale will visit Portugal for the second match on Monday night.
