The team of Denmark hosts Italy in a match of the penultimate round of the World Cup qualifications. The Danes are just one point behind the second place and a win in this meeting is mandatory for them. The Azzurri in turn, already secured the first spot after a great campaign without a single loss.
Denmark won the last 2 games, which kept their chances of qualifying for the World Cup 2014. However, both those wins were by just 1 goal margin against Armenia and Malta. Furthermore, so far in Group B, the Danes have not won in front of their own audience.
Given that Italy already has secured the first place, it can be expected that Prandelli will experiment with the first eleven. Mario Balotelli got injured in training and probably will not play. Giuseppe Rossi is back in the team after his good performances for Fiorentina and might start the match. The only goal for Italy now is to remain unbeaten in the group.
