Italy travel to Estonia on Friday night in Cesare Prandelli's first competitive match. And the objective is maximum points for another new look team.

The Azzurri have beaten Estonia in all four of their previous matches and will be confident here.

Luca Cigarini replaces the injured Claudio Marchisio. Daniele De Rossi is available to start and Antonio Cassano could get the nod following a back injury scare. Alberto Gilardino, Giampaolo Pazzini and Andrea Pirlo all return after missing out against the Ivory Coast.
