Italy will be without Samuele Ricci, Giorgio Scalvini, Gianluca Scammaca, and Riccardo Califiori for the upcoming Nations League games.
Manuel Locatelli is set to take Ricci’s place in the starting lineup. However, up front manager Luciano Spalletti could go with either Moise Kean or Mateo Retegui, with both forwards in top form.
Italy predicted XI (3-5-1-1, right to left): Donnarumma (GK) — Di Lorenzo, Buongiorno, Bastoni — Cambiaso, Barella, Locatelli, Tonali, Dimarco — Raspadori — Retegui.
Injured: Ricci, Scalvini, Scammaca, Califiori
Suspended: None
Belgium vs. Italy Prediction
Italy has an edge over Belgium, having won six of their last 11 clashes across competitions.
However, Spalletti’s side have a tough task ahead of them despite all the absentees in Belgium’s camp. The hosts will give the group leaders a run for their money, but Italy should scrape to a narrow win.
