Match Preview
These two sides have met regularly in recent years, with Italy winning each of the last five head-to-head encounters. Can the reigning champions extend that streak on Friday?
Belgium's Playoff Hopes Hanging by a Thread
Belgium head into the closing stages of the Nations League 2026 needing a near-perfect finish to keep their slim playoff hopes alive. They currently occupy 12th place with a 4-6 record.
Week 2 proved frustrating as they lost to Turkey (3-0), Brazil (3-2) and Germany (3-0) before finally ending the slide with a spirited 3-2 comeback victory over France after trailing by two sets to one.
They produced another comeback against the Dominican Republic on Wednesday after nearly throwing away a two-set lead, eventually winning the deciding set 15-12. However, they were unable to repeat that escape on Thursday, falling 3-1 to Canada.
Italy Eyeing Another Strong Finish
Italy have once again established themselves among the tournament favourites after lifting the Nations League title in 2025. They currently sit third in the standings with a 7-2 record.
The Italians enjoyed a solid Week 2, beating the Czech Republic 3-0 and Serbia 3-2 before suffering a straight-sets defeat to the United States. They bounced back immediately by sweeping Japan 3-0 in one of their best performances of the campaign.
Week 3 also started positively, with Italy defeating Ukraine 3-1 while allowing just 71 total points across four sets.
Verdict
Belgium have struggled whenever the pressure has increased and now face one of the tournament's strongest sides. Italy have dominated this fixture in recent years so I like their chances of claiming a 3-0 victory.
