Italy U21 name strong XI vs Sweden U21 as Camarda and Koleosho start

Italy U21 coach Silvio Baldini has confirmed his starting lineup for this evening’s Euro 2027 qualifier against Sweden U21, as the Azzurrini look to maintain their perfect start in Group A.

Baldini’s men have won both of their opening matches, while Sweden come into the clash with one win and one defeat from their first two outings.

Italy U21 XI: Palmisani; Bartesaghi, Mané, Marianucci, Palestra; Ndour, Lipani, Pisilli; Koleosho, Camarda, Cherubini.

Sweden U21 XI: Bishesari; Perez Vinlof, Zatterstrom, Makolli, Antwi; Boudri, Thorell, Bjorklund; Sonko, Swedberg, Njie.

The fixture offers another opportunity for Francesco Camarda, the 17-year-old Lecce striker (on loan from Milan), to continue his rapid rise through the national ranks, while Luca Koleosho is again handed a starting role on the wing.

Italy are aiming to build further momentum in their qualification campaign and tighten their grip on top spot in the group.
