Italy visit Andorra in the European Under-21 Championship qualifier this evening with Domenico Berardi and Luca Mazzitelli.

It kicks off at the Estadi Comunal at 17.30 UK time (16.30 GMT).

The Azzurrini are top of qualifying Group 2 with 16 points from six matches, but need a victory to stay four clear of second-placed Slovenia (who have a game in hand).

Gigi Di Biagio’s side fought back from a surprise early goal to crush the Republic of Ireland 4-1 in Waterford on Friday.

In that game Milan goalkeeper Gigio Donnarumma made history by becoming the youngest ever shot-stopper to start an Under-21 game, aged just 17 years and one month.

Sassuolo talent Berardi is the undoubted star name, but Torino’s Marco Benassi and Juventus-owned Rolando Mandragora are all worth keeping an eye on too.

Roma-owned midfielder Mazzitelli gets his first start at Under-21 level.

The Azzurrini have conceded only two goals in this qualifying campaign, whereas Andorra have scored just one.
