Azzurri looking to continue good form
Italy host Belgium in a heavyweight Nations League clash in Rome later tonight. After a miserable time of things at Euro 2024, the Azzurri have been in good form of late, beating France and Israel last time out to show signs of a rebuild under manager Luciano Spalletti.
The Red Devils, meanwhile, have endured a difficult time of things. While they went slightly further at the European Championship this summer, they were beaten by France last month in a performance slammed by captain Kevin De Bruyne, who is not involved here.
Italy look favourties here but it will be fascinating to see how far they’ve come in a relatively short space of time when paired against a strong side, albeit one beset by problems. The quality in the Belgian ranks cannot be doubted, after all. Follow all the action LIVE with Standard Sport’s dedicated match blog!
