This match is not to be taken for granted, as it is a head-to-head for second place in the group behind runaway leaders Norway.

“We’ve seen important signals from the squad, with two good training sessions,” Bonucci told RAI Sport after the 3-1 win in Estonia.

“We know that Israel are a strong team and will try to hit us on the counter-attack, but we want to bring home all three points.

“They should play with more or less the same approach that we saw in Debrecen. Their quality is above all from the midfield up, so we need to limit that danger.”
