If all eyes will be on the Stade de France, where the Blues face Israel, the other meeting in this Nations League group will be just as decisive for the rest of the program, if not more. Leader in the standings, Italy travels to Belgium with the obligation to strengthen its position (kick-off at 8:45 p.m.).
After beating the French team in September, the Nazionale felt the breath of the Blues in its rearview mirror, but it remains first in the ranking. If he does not win in Belgium, the French could however move it and find themselves in an ideal position before the clash between the two teams. Belgium, for its part, has suffered the French law twice and must absolutely give a response.
The expected compositions:
Belgium : Casteels – Debast, Faes, Theate, Castagne – Mangala, Tielemans, De Keteleare – Doku, Trossard, Openda.
Italy : Donnarumma – Di Lorenzo, Bastoni, Calafiori – Cambiaso, Frattesi, Ricci, Tonali, Di Marco – Raspadori, Retegui.
