Following a defeat against France, Belgium travel to Italy for the third round of Nations League on Thursday, 10 October. Italy return home with confidence following consecutive victories against France and Israel. Now let’s find out the winning prediction for this big clash.
Italy to win 101/100 (2.01)
Regardless of a disappointing campaign in Euro 2024, Italy secured a favorable start with back-to-back victories, including the big challenge against France. In contrast, Belgium only won against Israel in the previous four matches in Nations League and Euro 2024. In the H2Hs, Italy have outclassed Belgium by recording victories in the recent five meetings, losing only a friendly game. Given this scenario, Italy will be our favorite to collect all three points in this game.
Over 2.5 Game 101/100 (2.01)
Italy have shown a strong offensive form by finding the back of the net five times in the opening two games of Nations League. The Blues have also scored at least two goals in each of the previous five meetings with their upcoming rivals Belgium. The Red Devils couldn’t open their scoring against France previously but managed to hit three goals against Israel in their second-last game. Belgium have also contributed to four high-scoring totals in the last five meetings with Italy. Based on the given numbers, we believe in seeing another total of Over 2.5 Goals between these two teams on coming Thursday.
Both teams to score: Yes 4/5 (1.80)
Belgium were unable to score twice against France in their recent three overall games. But the Red Devil’s attack has a promising record against Italy, notching goals in four of the recent five H2Hs. Meanwhile, the Blues succeeded in getting on the scoresheet in each game during that course. The home side of this game has also scored in three of the recent four matches in Nations League and Euro 2024, conceding goals in all of them. Hence, a BTTS outcome will be the most probable outcome for this match.
