The friendly match kicks off at the Worthersee Stadion in Klagenfurt at 17.00 UK time (18.00 CEST).
The Viola have been completely transformed this summer, as new coach Fabio Grosso and director of sport Fabio Paratici revamped the squad with a number of signings.
There are five of them in the starting XI this evening, including ex-Udinese midfielder Atta and former Tottenham Hotspur defender Dragusin.
The Viola aren’t finished yet and will use today’s match as an opportunity to discuss the potential arrival on loan of Mastantuono from Real Madrid.
The Merengues have warned him that he won’t have playing time this season, so must go out to another European club, not return to River Plate.
The Tuscans already signed Victor Valdepenas from Real Madrid, completing the move yesterday.
Ex-Inter wing-back Dumfries gets his first start for Real Madrid, with Endrick in attack, another player linked with a potential Serie A loan to Fiorentina or Roma.
