The Italy squad will be led by Gianluca Scamacca and Giacomo Raspadori in the Nations League against Hungary, with Alessandro Bastoni and Tommaso Pobega filling in.
It begins on Monday at 19:45 UK time in Budapest (18.45 GMT).
Only a win would be enough for the Azzurri to win the group and advance to the Final Four, as Marco Rossi’s Hungary can also qualify with a draw.
Roberto Mancini is expected to use the same 3-5-2 formation that helped him beat England 1-0 on Friday.
There are a few changes, including Inter defender Bastoni replacing clubmate Francesco Acerbi, and Milan midfielder Pobega making his debut in place of Bryan Cristante.
Former Sassuolo partners Scamacca and Raspadori take the lead once more.
Other possible substitutions include Willy Gnonto for Scamacca and Emerson Palmieri for Federico Dimarco.
Ciro Immobile did not make the trip, adding his name to the long list of absentees from the first game.
Hungary will say farewell to captain Adam Szalai, who will retire from international duty after this match.

HUN vs ITA DREAM11 PREDICTION
Giacomo Raspadori scored the game-winning goal for Napoli in the second half of a dull match against England on Friday night in Milan, keeping Roberto Mancini’s squad alive.
As a result, the Azzurri are two points behind their opponents, whom they defeated 2-1 in Cesena earlier this year, inflicting Hungary’s lone defeat in Group 3.
While an unknown Italian coach, Marco Rossi, has led the Hungarians to new heights – following Euro 2020 qualification with a double win against relegated England and taking four points off Germany – his compatriots have struggled since winning the European Championships less than a year ago.
In addition to being eliminated from the World Cup playoffs by North Macedonia, Italy has also been defeated by three-goal margins in the ‘Finalissima’ against South American champions Argentina and in their most recent away match, a 5-2 loss to the Germans.
Indeed, they have won just five of their last 15 matches, yet apparently out of nowhere, a slender opportunity for redemption has presented itself for a squad in transition prior to Euro 2024.
After coming third in the previous edition of the Nations League, La Nazionale may yet go farther and win their second title in two years if they win all three points on Monday.
