Belgium vs Italy Prediction & Betting Tips - UEFA Nations League
by Devesh Jaganath in UEFA Nations League Predictions
Belgium will be hoping to keep their UEFA Nations League quarter-final hopes alive when they take on Italy at Stade Roi Baudouin on Thursday night. De Rode Duivels are in third place in League A Group 2, while the Azzurri are leading the group standings. Check out our match prediction below.
Belgium have managed to take just four points from their first four games in this competition and currently trail second-placed France by five points. That means that if they lose this match and France beat Israel in the other match in the group, De Rode Duivels will end the group stage in the relegation play-offs.
For Italy, the equation is much simpler - avoid defeat and they will be guaranteed a spot in the quarter-final, though they will still want to keep hold of first place. The hosts are the current bookmakers’ favourite in this contest, but can they overcome the group leaders? Let’s break down the key stats and try to find out!

Belgium - Italy: Form Analysis
Belgium kicked off their Nations League campaign very promisingly, beating Israel 3-0 in the first round of the competition, but that remains the only victory they have managed to date.
Since that victory, De Rode Duivels lost 2-1 at home to and 2-0 away to France either side of a 2-2 draw to their upcoming opponents back in gameweek three of the competition on the road.
With those results, the hosts have now managed only one win in their last eight matches, which was against Romania in their second group-stage match at the European Championship in June.
Belgium have conceded two goals in each of their last three games and have not kept a clean sheet in five!
Meanwhile, Italy will be feeling fairly confident about their chances of progressing to the knockout round as they are one of only four teams in League A that are still unbeaten.
The draw against Belgium is the only match in which the Azzurri have dropped points in this competition, while they beat Israel home and away and overcame France 3-1 back in round one.
Notably, Italy are the joint-highest-scoring team in the Nations League this season with 11 goals, though they have failed to maintain a clean sheet in any of their four games to date.

Belgium & Italy Squad Analysis
After asking to be left out of the October squad, Romelu Lukaku has been summoned by Domenico Tedesco to participate in Belgium's upcoming games against Italy and Israel.
The Red Devils’ boss has also opted to call up a few emerging talents, including 20-year-old Chelsea midfielder Romeo Lavia, as well as Club Brugge teenager Joaquin Seys.
Part of Tedesco’s reason for relying on youth is due to injuries to experienced players, such as Youri Tielemans, Thomas Meunier and Yannick Carrasco, all of whom have been left out.
Kevin De Bruyne, who only just recovered from injury, will not be part of the Belgium squad this month!
Luciano Spalletti, on the other hand, has chosen to call up three first-timers for this month’s fixtures in defensive duo Nicolo Savona and Pietro Comuzzo, as well as midfielder Nicolo Rovella.
The former two are brought into the squad to replace Riccardo Calafiori and Matteo Gabbia, both of whom are currently out of action owing to injury.
Nicolo Barella has also been included in the 23-man squad after missing out on the October fixtures, while Niccolo Pisilli and Daniel Maldini are retained after their first call-ups last month.

Our Belgium vs Italy Prediction
Belgium will have to throw caution to the wind here, as only a victory will be able to keep them in the competition, though in doing so, it could leave them vulnerable in defence against this dangerous Italian attack.
Indeed, Italy are the joint-top-scorers in this season’s Nations League, but clean sheets have been rare for them and they may need to rely on outscoring their opponents once again in this match. Therefore, our Belgium vs Italy prediction: Both teams to score!
Belgium vs Italy - Other Interesting Predictions

Three of Belgium’s four matches in this competition have ended with over 2.5 goals, while all four of Italy’s games have seen three or more hit the back of the net. Additionally, neither of these sides have managed to keep a clean sheet in this season’s Nations League.
