Player to watch: Gianluca Scamacca
Gianluca Scamacca is coming off the best season of his career, where he helped Atalanta win the UEFA Europa League. The 25-year-old has five direct goal involvements in his last five matches, scoring twice with three assists. Although Scamacca scored just once in 15 appearances for Italy, he'll fancy his chances against Turkey.
