Italy will be aiming to build on a 3-1 win over Estonia when they take on Israel on Tuesday evening. The Azzurri want to cement second place in the standings, but this match will be anything but a walk in the park for Genaro Gattuso’s troops. With Moise Kean suffering an ankle injury against Estonia, Inter forward Pio Esposito is widely expected to sneak into the starting XI. There are no other fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Israelis, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 5-0 loss to Norway and with the team conceding ten goals in total in the last two qualifying games, home win should be considered. Ludogorets defender Idan Nachimas is unlikely to feature for the visiting team after picking up a knock against Norway. Earlier in the process, Italy recorded a thrilling 5-4 win over Israel and yet another high-scoring affair is on the cards.
This World Cup 2026 match will be played on Tuesday 14 October 2025 at 19:45.
