Italy definitely disappointed with their performance at the European Championship. However, in the Nations League so far, they have shown a completely different face. They achieved a good victory first with 3:1 as guests against France, followed by an expected success with 2:1 over Israel. Now they return home in search of a new victory, where they defeated Belgium with 2:1 three years ago in the Nations League. Luciano Spalletti may also rely a bit on defense, as Italy has not kept a clean sheet in their last six matches.
Belgium also did not impress at the last European Championship. They started differently with an expected home victory of 3:1 against Israel in the Nations League, but then did not shine against France and lost 0:2 as guests. Belgium continues to have good players in their squad, but now they will be without two key names in Kevin De Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku. It was De Bruyne who was in focus after the loss to France, directing serious criticism towards his teammates.
Prediction: Victory for ItalyItaly is showing a much better face so far in the Nations League, unlike the European Championship. At the same time, the situation in the Belgium team does not look very good after the loss to France. The absence of De Bruyne and Lukaku also tilts the balance in favor of Italy.
