Italy take on Belgium at Stadio Olimpico, Rome, where an exciting match should be on the cards on Friday. It is one of the matches in round one of the group phase of the Nations League A this season. The last time the pair played each other Italy came away as 0-1 winners, and rest assured they have a similar outcome in mind on Friday.

Italy sit at number 15 in the FIFA world ranking, while Belgium enter their match on Friday as number 8.

Italy are most likely in for a tough match when welcoming Belgium at Stadio Olimpico, Rome. They are favoured by the bookmakers for the win, but it could get tight this coming Friday.

Italy show off very admirable numbers from their past ten matches, as they scored 2.1 goals on average per match. That makes a total of 21 goals, whilst they allowed 17 goals against, for an average of 1.7 per outing. They pulled off one clean sheets.

Judging by the prices from the bookies we have a fairly even match on our hands when Belgium come visiting Italy. Claiming three points in such a tough encounter could lay the groundworks for reaching the next stage, but it is a tough match to call.

Belgium are currently not the most scoring team in the Nations League A, as they only found the back of the net ten times in ten matches. This is an average of just one goals a game in which they conceded 12 times, an average of 1.2 per game. They managed one clean sheets in these.

Belgium managed a decent return of three wins in their last six internationals, in which they scored 14 while also conceding seven times. They also experienced two draws and one defeat.

While we don't believe in the away win, we don't quite trust Italy to grab a win. We prefer a cautious bet on the visitors, either the double-chance or the draw-no-bet solution against Belgium.
