Italy will play a friendly match against Albania on Tuesday in Genoa, a few days after the 1: 1 draw at home against Croatia in a qualifier for Euro 2016. The last official match of the year leave "Azzurri" and the Croats leads in Group "H" with 10 points from 4 matches played.

Croatia has a better goal difference so far - 10: 1, while the ratio of the hits with four times world champion is 6: 2.

Italian team coach Antonio Conte will give a chance on players who rarely make the starting line-up.

"Our performance needs to be improved. We need to show more quality and experience," said Antonio Conte.

Albania is third in group "I" after the surprise victory with 1: 0 against Portugal and 1: 1 draw at home against Denmark.

"Ciro Immobile and Simone Zaza have very little experience at the international level. Let us not forget that two years ago they both played in the second division," said Conte.
