Italy will be aiming to keep their 100% record in the UEFA Nations League intact when they take on Belgium in a highly-anticipated clash at Stadio Olimpico. The likes of Di Gregorio, Gabbia, Maldini, and Pisilli have been named in the Italy Nations League squad for the first time, Atalanta’s Marco Brescianini misses out with injury. Arsenal defender Riccardo Calafiori made the cut, but Inter midfielder Nicolo Barella has been ruled out with injury. 

The Red Devils, on the other hand, are hit by Kevin De Bruyne’s absence. As Napoli striker Romelu Lukaku will be rested in the October fixtures as well, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. Leipzig attacker Lois Openda is widely expected to lead the line for the visiting team, while Leandro Trossard (Arsenal) and Jeremy Doku (Man City) should start as wingers.

Score Prediction: Italy 2-1 Belgium
