Green knows that Italy reached at least the quarterfinals in each of the previous four editions of this tournament. The club enters Saturday’s match having lost just one of its last nine contests across all competitions. Defender Alessandro Bastoni and midfielder Nicolo Barella scored for the Italians in their 2-1 victory against Albania, while winger Mattia Zaccagni converted versus Croatia in the 98th minute to earn them a 1-1 draw.
