UEFA Nations League
After yet another disappointment and turmoil in Italian football, Roberto Mancini has returned to lead the Azzurri. It was under his guidance that Italy last had reasons for joy and pride – winning the title at Euro 2020. Now Mancini has stated that he will give his all and is confident that Italy will return to the heights of world football. Looking at the team's results, we see that Italy has 9 wins in their last 11 matches. Most recently, in June, they won 1-0 in their friendlies against Luxembourg and Greece.
Belgium reached the quarter-finals of the World Cup, where they were eliminated by Spain. Before that, they had an 18-match unbeaten streak. Nevertheless, a coaching change is a fact. The new head coach is Dutchman Mark van Bommel. He has not yet managed a national team, but he made a name for himself in Belgium by winning a double in the Belgian league as the coach of Antwerp in 2023. Recently, Italy has been a tough opponent for Belgium. The Belgians have only managed one draw in their last five encounters.
Prediction: victory for Italy, both teams to scoreIn my opinion, it is only a matter of time before Italy starts to rise again. This seems possible with Roberto Mancini at the helm. Belgium is not an easy opponent, but at the stadium in Rome, I think Italy can achieve another victory over this opponent, and I also believe that both teams can score.
