Italy lock horns with Ireland in the EURO 2016’s GROUP E encounter at the Stade Pierre Mauroy in Lilly on Wednesday.
Ireland will be hoping to take inspiration from the 1994 team that beat Italy, Irish head-coach Martin O’Neill would love for his side to produce a display similar to the 1994 World Cup when they defeated Italy 1-0 courtesy of Ray Houghton goal.
Italy have been on a high and have won both their opening games and are sitting at the top of the group, having already qualified for the next round.
