After a mixed start under new coach Gennaro Gattuso, the Azzurri sit second in Group I with nine points, level with Israel but with a game in hand.&nbsp;<\/p><p>However, Norway are holding a narrow one-point lead and a superior goal difference. Hence, Italy&rsquo;s margin for error remains thin. The Azzurri have not featured in a World Cup since 2014. So, qualification remains a priority for Gattuso&rsquo;s men. Their upcoming matches are against Estonia in Tallinn on October 11 and Israel in Udine on October 14.<\/p><p>These matches will play a decisive role in determining whether Italy can top their group or are forced into the playoffs once again. Gattuso&rsquo;s debut fixtures in September brought a commanding 5-0 win against Estonia.
