This game carries more weight for the Belgians, who are seeking to bounce back after their loss to France in the last round. With a performance well below expectations, Domenico Tedesco’s team was dominated by the French, and even star Kevin De Bruyne made public criticisms after the match.
In contrast, the Italians are experiencing a different moment. After a disappointing Euro Cup, where they were eliminated by Switzerland, Luciano Spalletti’s team comes off two consecutive victories—2-1 against Israel and 3-1 against France—which have placed them at the top of the group.
During this FIFA window, both teams will play again next Monday, the 14th. Italy will host Israel, while Belgium will face the French. To conclude the Nations League group stage, the teams will meet again in November during the penultimate round, on the 14th, in Belgium. Get the edge with BBscore football.
