Italy have also made just one change to their starting XI which got the better of Norway earlier this week.

Emma Severini has been dropped to the bench, with Martina Lenzini coming into the backline in hope of adding more security to the defence.

Italy XI: Giuliani, Lenzini, Salvai, Linari, Di Guglielmo, Caruso, Giugliano, Bonansea, Oliviero, Girelli, Cantore

Subs: Baldi, Durante, Schatzer, Severini, Piemonte, Piga, Bergamaschi, Serturini, Goldoni, Boattin, Greggi, Cambiaghi.
