Italy vs. Uruguay: Schedule, Prediction and Preview for 2017 Friendly

Italy will be out to continue their impressive recent form on Wednesday when they host Uruguay in an international friendly at the Stade Municipal du Ray in Nice, France.

The Azzurri will use this friendly as preparation for their upcoming 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Lichtenstein, and it will be fascinating to see what XI manager Giampiero Ventura chooses for the game. He named an experimental lineup for the recent 8-0 win over San Marino.

Uruguay will want to acquit themselves better than they did in their recent friendly against the Republic of Ireland, when they were emphatically beaten 3-1.
