Azzurri coach aims for win

Roberto Donadoni insists Italy will be heading to Scotland on Saturday with an intention to win the Euro 2008 qualifier.

A draw for Italy, followed by an expected home win over Faroe Islands next week, would ensure the world champions finish in the top two in the group and a spot at next summer's finals in Austria and Switzerland.

Azzurri coach Donadoni, though, is adamant that he will be sending out his team with the aim of securing a first win on Scottish soil.

Donadoni told the Italian media: "Scotland are undoubtedly obtaining high-level results - their coach did a really important job and the fact they are set to play for qualification shows this.

"Italy has never won in Scotland? The past certainly has its importance, but on Saturday it will be a new game that must be played.

"They want to win, but we will do the same too."
