Match Preview

There will be an interesting match at the Stadio Olimpico in the Nations League on Thursday. Luciano Spalletti has overseen a positive return to form since crashing out in the round of 16 at the EUROs, with Italy having won each of their opening two matches in League A Group 2 this summer.

Italian momentum continued to grow in the previous international break after dominating against Israel to claim a 2-1 success in Budapest. Moise Kean netted the crucial second goal in that success, but Italy should have arguably won by a wider margin after registering six shots on target.

Belgium also endured a miserable campaign at EURO 2024, but their form has remained inconsistent since the start of the Nations League. The European nation have won just once in their two matches in the competition, with their only success coming against Israel on matchday one.

Belgium were firmly put in their place in their latest international outing after suffering a 2-0 defeat on the road against France. The visitors very rarely threatened in that fixture, managing to record just four shots on target despite having 54% of the possession.


Italy vs. Belgium Picks

Belgium’s inconsistency makes them very hard to support this week. Therefore, we will be siding with Italy maintaining their recent solid run of form by landing a third straight win in the Nations League.
