Italy vs Belgium prediction

With 2 wins from 2 games, Italy sit top of their UEFA Nations League Group A2 and will maintain their position if they can avoid defeat here. The Azzurri have infused their squad with some new, young talent under coach Luciano Spalletti and so far it seems to be paying dividends. Playmaker Nicolo Barella misses out due to injury, but he should be adequately covered in midfield as Italy look to make it 2 wins in a row in a tough group.

Belgium will be looking to bounce back after losing 2-0 to France in their last game, a result which saw captain Kevin De Bruyne question his teammates’ mentality. The Belgian captain is among the regular names missing out this time due to injury alongside Amadou Onana, while veteran striker Romelu Lukaku did not get a call-up. Belgium need a result here to turn around their fortunes as they have only 1 win in their last 4 games (1 draw, 2 losses).

Based on recent form, Italy seems to be in a better shape than Belgium, and this is also supported by the head-to-head statistics in which Italy have won all the last 3 encounters Hence, our Italy vs Belgium prediction is Double Chance – Italy/Draw.
