Hello and welcome to Eurosport's coverage of the pre-European Championships friendly between Italy and the Czech Republic. I'm Ciaran Baynes and I'll be following the match with you.

Brabec heads the corner at the back post back to Boril who sees his effort blocked.

Barak pus a ball into the box from the right wing but Florenzi is there to clear the ball for a corner.

Italy are defending a 26-match unbeaten record in this game.

Jankto puts in a dangerous low ball across the six-yard box but Italy clear

The Czech Republic get us underway...

Anthems underway, almost ready to go.

Like England, Italy have been hit with a pre-tournament injury blow with Stefano Sensi missing out and being replaced by Matteo Pessina of Atalanta.

It seems it's not just the standard of football from the Azzuri which has slipped - what to make of that jacket?

The Czechs beat England at home in qualifying of course and will face them again in the potentially crucial third game in the group.

Neither Soucek nor Schick in the Czech side tonight. You would presume this is a case of managing their minutes.

It will be interesting to see how Italy are looking, a few years on from their historical football nadir failing to qualify for the 2018 World Cup, they couldn't have done more than a perfect record in qualifying, but questions remain for when they step up in quality.

Three injury outs for the Czechs, they will hope to have them back for their first game a week on Monday against Scotland.

These are the Czechs who will take the field in a little under an hour.

This is how the Azzuri will line up...
