Belgium vs. Italy Betting Odds and Free Pick

The UEFA Nations League brings us an exciting clash in Group 2 of League A, with Belgium hosting Italy, who currently leads the standings undefeated.

The Red Devils, on the other hand, are struggling in the Nations League, a fact highlighted by their recent 2-1 home loss to France, with Lois Openda scoring Belgium’s only goal.

Belgium vs. Italy Betting Odds and Info

Why bet on Belgium?

It was evident that Belgium would face challenges once the transition from its previous golden generation began. That is exactlywhat’s happening to the team, which has struggled so far in the Nations League.

In the last match, they fell at home 2-1 to France, with Randal Kolo Muani scoring both goals for the visitors. Belgium’s only goal came from forward Loïs Openda, while Youri Tielemans missed a penalty.

As a result, Belgium sits second to last in the group with four points, fighting to avoid relegation in this competition format. They’re far from Italy’s ten points at the top.

Belgium has scored six goals in four matches but conceded seven, reflecting an imbalance in Domenico Tedesco’s squad. Out of their last eight official matches, they’ve won only twice, defeating Israel and Slovakia, both lower-ranked opponents.

Charles De Ketelaere was called up by Tedesco, but he comes with a minor injury concern.

Why bet on Italy?

After several setbacks, including missing the last two World Cups, it seems that Italy is finally finding consistency in their performances and, for now, it is a legitimate contender for the title in the Nations League.

In their most recent match, they easily defeated Israel 4-1, with goals from Mateo Retegui (penalty), Davide Frattesi, and Giovanni Di Lorenzo (x2).

With this victory, the Azzurra reached ten points, thanks to three wins and one draw. They have scored eleven goals and conceded five.

Their top scorers in the Nations League are Frattesi, with three goals, and Retegui, with two.

This tournament brought peace of mind to Luciano Spalletti, who had a forgettable Euro, losing in the Round of 16 to Switzerland.

However, to secure the victory in Belgium, Italy must deal with an important absence: defender Riccardo Calafiori, who suffered an injury while playing for Arsenal. He has been a starter in three matches with the Italian team.

It’s worth noting that Italy has had good results against Belgium recently. They’ve won two of the last three encounters, with the other ending in a draw. They haven’t lost to this opponent since 2015.
