Italy will look to keep their slim hopes of reaching the Nations League finals alive on Saturday when they play host to Portugal at a sold out San Siro.
Roberto Mancini’s men need a victory and must hope Poland beat Portugal in Tuesday’s final match, while a draw in Milan would seal top spot for Fernando Santos’ outfit.
