Expect a thrilling atmosphere at Stadio Olimpico when Italy and Belgium go head to head in the Nations League. Italy failed to qualify for the 2026 World Cup finals but responded with consecutive 1-0 victories over Luxembourg and Greece in their latest warm-up games. New faces are also being introduced, with Daniele Ghilardi, Alessandro Romano, Michael Kayode, and Issa Doumbia among those receiving their first call-ups. Italy have won 80% of their last 10 matches, scoring 2.40 goals per game and keeping six clean sheets.
Belgium, on the other hand, produced fine displays at the World Cup finals, reaching the quarter-finals. New boss Mark van Bommel continues to rely on experienced stars such as Kevin De Bruyne, Romelu Lukaku, and Youri Tielemans. The Red Devils have scored 2.70 goals per game across their last 10 matches, while their away fixtures average an impressive 4.17 goals.
Italy have won four of the last six H2H meetings and boast an impressive 75% home win rate in their recent sample. Therefore, Home Win should be considered, alongside BTTS and Over 1.5 goals (Five of the last six H2H meetings produced at least two goals, while both teams average well above two goals per game overall).
This Nations League match will be played on Friday 25 September 2026 at 19:45.
