After saturday's 0-0 against Holland, Marcello Lippi's Squadra Azzurra will now receive Sweden (with ex-Inter player Zlatan Ibrahimovic) in Cesena. If Italy's game has not been totally convincing, at least the result was more or less positive. And they even had some occasions to win the game, the biggest one by Pazzini at the end of the game. But the dutch team too could have won the game if Kuyt had managed to transform his occasion.

All in all it was a fair draw, now Italy is facing the future, which in this case means the friendly game against Sweden, wednesday, 8:45 p.m. in Cesena. Lippi has already announced that he might give a break to some of the players who play a lot of games like Buffon, Pirlo or Zambrotta, and give a chance to some new faces, as there are still 6-7 free places on his list for Southafrica ...
For sure Antonio Cassano will not play, even if there had been somechant for him by the fans and even a field invader wearing a Superman T-Shirt with the words "Cassano in Nazionale"... Lippi didn't want to comment on that or on the rumours that he didn't like Cassano because the Sampdoria player might have had a fist fight with Lippi's son.

My tip: Considering that Lippi might give a break to some of the big names, in my opinion this match might again finish with a draw. Therefore my tip is x, the best odd for this result is offered by Bet365 with 3,50.
