Belgium Form


Belgium are third in the Nations League Group A2, taking four points from four games. 

The Red Devils began their 2024/25 campaign with a 3-1 victory against Israel before losing 2-0 in France. Domenico Tedesco’s team responded positively by coming back twice to hold Italy 2-2 away.

Italy Form 


Luciano Spalletti’s Italy have a one-point cushion over second-placed France in Nations League Group A2. They are the only unbeaten side in the group, winning three and drawing once.
