Italy will face Germany in Group C of the 2017 UEFA European Under-21 Championship on Saturday. The latter are already in the semi-finals after two comprehensive wins to start the tournament.
Germany are loaded with quality in attacking areas, where Bayern Munich winger Serge Gnabry and Schalke 04 playmaker Max Meyer can boss the final third. It will be up to manager Horst Hrubesch to decide how many of his key players he wants to rest with qualification already assured.
It's a different story for Italy, but the Azzurri are similarly blessed in the forward positions, where attacking midfielders Lorenzo Pellegrini and Manuel Locatelli, along with winger Federico Bernardeschi, can unlock any defence.
