Belgium vs Italy UEFA Nations League Match Preview

Belgium faces an uphill battle against an Italian side that has found renewed momentum under Luciano Spalletti. After a tough 2-1 loss to France in their last encounter, the Red Devils sit third in League A, Group 2. Their struggles against France continued in Brussels, where a missed penalty by Youri Tielemans and a stoppage-time goal by Lois Openda wasn’t enough to overturn a two-goal deficit. Their only victory in this Nations League campaign came against Israel.

Italy, on the other hand, has shown a refreshing style under Spalletti. With 10 points from four matches, they lead Group 2 and are on the verge of clinching a quarter-final spot. The Azzurri displayed resilience in their last matchup with Belgium, where they held on for a 2-2 draw despite playing with 10 men for over 50 minutes. An impressive 4-1 win against Israel solidified their position, with players like Giovanni Di Lorenzo and Mateo Retegui delivering standout performances.
