Italy v Belgium Match Preview
All roads lead to Rome, and Italy will be looking to continue their fine start in Group A2.
Indeed, six points have been yielded from Italy’s first two games in the competition, who were knocked out of the Round of 16 at Euro 2024 and trying to seek some redemption.
The rebuilding job therefore is showing some promising signs under Luciano Spalletti, but Belgium should be a sterner test.
But how will things pan out in The Eternal City? I have sifted through the markets and apart from offering some angles into this game, I have also divulged a couple of Italy v Belgium betting tips for you to pore over.
Italy to keep up great record against Belgium
The Azzurri have set their stall out early in the Nations League as they look to put their Euro 2024 disappointment behind them.
Perhaps more worryingly for Belgium is that the head-to-head record with Italy makes for grim reading for the Red Devils.
In 24 previous competitive matches with the Italians, Belgium have only come out on top on four occasions, conceding 47 goals in the process.
Italy have won all of their past three clashes, and the most recent meeting was in the Nations League where Spalletti’s side claimed a 2-1 victory.
Belgium generally tends to be overhyped and chances of success over the years have passed them by.
To open my Italy v Belgium betting tips, I’m inclined for Italy to win to nil and clinch their third Nations League victory on the trot which is trading at a decent 11/5 price with William Hill.
Lorenzo Lucca to grab opportunity with both hands
Lorenzo Lucca got a call-up to the Italy squad for the upcoming Nations League fixtures after Moise Kean pulled out through a back injury to seek further treatment.
Cast your mind back to March and Lucca was selected to play in a series of friendlies, but he was unable to make his senior debut for his country.
With five goals in nine games registered for Udinese this term, Lucca is more than a suitable replacement for Kean.
To round off my Italy v Belgium tips, I have a feeling Lucca could make a big impact.
I’m drawn to the goalscorer special and for Lucca to grab a double. bet365 has posted odds of 16/1 for that outcome if you are tempted.
