Italy faces Belgium in the Nations League this Thursday (8:45 p.m.). Here is all the essential information on this match.
There is nothing like a prestigious victory against the historic neighbor to regain confidence after a most chaotic summer. By winning in style at the Parc des Princes against the French team last month (3-1), Italy got back on track. Luciano Spalletti’s Nazionale even has the luxury of leading its group in this League of Nations.
It remains to be seen to what extent this victory can be foundational for the future. Opposite, it is a moribund Belgian team which will try to revolt. Beaten by the Blues in September (0-2), teammates Loïs Openda have an answer to give.
The expected compositions:
Italy : Donnarumma; Di Lorenzo, Bastoni, Calafiori; Cambiaso, Frattesi, Tonali, Ricci, Dimarco; Raspadori, Retegui.
Belgium: Casteels; Castagne, Faes, Debast, Theate; Tielemans, Onana; Lukebakio, De Ketelaere, Doku; Openda.
Where to watch the match?
This Nations League match between Italy and Belgium will be broadcast this Thursday evening on La Chaîne L’Equipe, from 8:45 p.m. It will also be possible to watch it streaming on the group’s official website.
