Italy vs Belgium Prediction & Picks - UEFA Nations League

 by Carlos Zabala | in Soccer Picks

Italy are in perfect form in Group 2 of the Nations League A, in a difficult group where they will now host Belgium at the Olympic Stadium in Rome. The Italians were certainly pleased by the action in the Nations League after Switzerland's disappointing elimination from the Euro Cup. They beat France in Paris in the opening game, not being favourites to win with odds of up to 5.80, in a match where Inter's 25-year-old midfielder Frattesi stood out and earned a performance grade of 8.3. Adding points for the Italians could be important in order to win the group since after hosting Belgium they will play against Israel, who are bottom of the group, in Udine.

Belgium started off by beating Israel but three days later France dominated them in Lyon without much effort. This resulted in a series of frustrations for captain De Bruyne, who felt that some of his teammates had played with indifference against France.

For this reason, in an attempt to make some changes in search of alleviating the almost null results of the golden generation, De Bruyne and Lukako were not called by the coach, at least temporarily, in what is an attempt to lay the foundations for Belgium's future thinking about the 2026 World Cup.

Our Italy vs Belgium Prediction

Lukako is not expected to play again for Belgium at least until the end of 2024, while De Bruyne and Courtois are not available. Openda is then expected to start up front. Barella will be back for Italy in Spalletti's squad, where he included young Serie A talents such as Maldini and Pisilli in his squad. These are two teams looking for a replacement after a poor Euro, but in that sense Italy seems better prepared and a victory in Rome is likely. Our prediction for Italy vs Belgium is: Italy to win, -111 at FanDuel.
