Soccer:Italy face Macedonia, need point

(ANSA) - Turin, October 6 - Italy face Macedonia in Turin later on Friday needing a point to secure a place in the World Cup qualification playoffs.
    The Azzurri are three points behind Spain in second place in Group G and so have little hope of being able to qualify directly for next year's tournament, even if they win their last two qualifiers.
    They have a six-point advantage over third-placed Albania, who they take on on Monday.
