Italy complicated the way to World Cup because of the draw in Olimpico 1-1 against Switzerland. Currently they are 1st with the same points as Swiss team and with goal difference +2. But if this ranking remains even from this point of view Italy wins 1-0 in Northern Ireland and Switzerland 3-0 against Bulgaria the rule of away goals in the games would count. Italy must score as many goals as possible against Northern Ireland who don't have any motivations in this game.

Coach Mancini have a long list of missing players after in last days gk Sirigu, def Calabria, def Bastoni and def Biraghi left the national team.

Including captain def Chiellini, best scorer Immobile, mid Pellegrini and mid Zaniolo. Probably some new calls will debut from 1st minute like Tonali and in attack are expected Berardi, Insigne,Chiesa.

Northern Ireland in other hand are without motivations in this game. However they still remain a dangerous team and didn't yet conceded a goal in these qualifiers at home. No important missings but probably coach Baraclough will make some turnover.

Of course comparing the teams quality is on Italian national team despite the long injury list.

The motivations will make the difference and Italy should try to score many goals or they risk to not qualify for the 2nd World Cup consecutive.

Probable lineups:

IRLANDA DEL NORD (3-5-2): Peacock-Farrell; Cathcart, J. Evans, McNair; Dallas, McCann, Davis, Saville, Lewis; Washington, Magennis.

ITALIA (4-3-3): Donnarumma; Di Lorenzo, Bonucci, Acerbi, Emerson; Barella, Jorginho, Tonali; Berardi, Insigne, Chiesa.

GL!

由于在主场 1-1 战平瑞士，意大利的世界杯之路变得复杂起来。目前他们与瑞士队积分相同，净胜球多了2个，排名第一。但是，如果从这个角度来看，如果意大利在北爱尔兰 1-0 ，瑞士 3-0 对保加利亚，还是会保持这一排名，比赛中的客场进球规则将很重要。意大利必须尽可能多地进球，而北爱尔兰在这场比赛中没有任何动力。

在最近几天门将Sirigu、后卫Calabria、后卫Bastoni 和后卫Biraghi 离开国家队后，曼奇尼教练有很多球员都会缺席。

包括队长基耶利尼、最佳射手因莫比莱、佩莱格里尼中场和扎尼奥洛中场。可能会有一些新球员比如像托纳利首发，还会有贝拉尔迪、因西涅、基耶萨等球员。

另一方面，北爱尔兰在这场比赛中没有动力。然而，他们仍然是一支危险的球队，至今主场还没有失球。但本场可能教练 Baraclough 会做出一些轮换。

当然，尽管伤病名单很长，但比较球队实力还是意大利实力更强。

动力将产生影响，意大利应该尝试打进很多球，否则他们将面临连续第二届世界杯缺席的风险。

祝好运
