Prediction published on 02/09/2017, 16:30  by in Football Predictions

Italy are in second place in the group and three points behind Spain with an inferior goal difference with three games to go. They lost 3-0 away to Spain on Saturday and it's looking like they will have to do with a play-off place and a win here will see them clinch that. Italy are seven points clear of third placed Albania and Israel in fourth. Italy have won two of their home games in this group and the other was a draw with Spain. The reverse fixture saw Italy beat Israel 3-1 away so they will be confident of a good win here. Israel have to win to retain any qualification hopes and have won two of their three away games to date but suffered a 4-1 loss in Spain. A shock home loss to Macedonia on Saturday was a big disappointment for them.  Italy have never lost a home World Cup qualifier and that goes back 83 years. Israel have only won two of their last eight away games and never beaten Italy. Go for the home side to get a win in this match on a -1 handicap.
