The Azzurri are the only major team in a group that comprises of Paraguay, New Zealand and Slovakia. Paraguay are the only other team that has some sort of consistency in terms of appearing in the World Cup.

This will be New Zealand’s second appearance in a World Cup and coach Ricki Herbert will be happy if his side can put up points on board while Slovakia on the other hand will be making their debut appearance in the tournament.

However with Italy taking on Paraguay in their opening match of the group stage, both New Zealand and Slovakia will be going all out for a victory in their match to secure vital three points that could take them closer to the knockout stage.

While Slovakia are not expected to provide any challenge for a place in the knockout stage, Marek Hamsik’s form in the tournament will be key if Vladimír Weiss’ side are to upset the odds by qualifying to the next round.

Meanwhile Paraguay will be relying on Oscar Cardozo to provide the goals with the Benfica striker having an excellent season by hitting 38 goals in just 46 appearances. Italy on the other hand have a number of star players with Andrea Pirlo, Gianluigi Buffon and Gennaro Gattuso keen to bow out of the international stage by collecting another World Cup medal.
