Tip and bets
Even with the numerous setbacks, Italy has been playing successfully against Belgium lately. In the last Nations League draw, Squadra Azzurra made peace with the Belgians at home, and won on the road. Today, the Italians have the home field factor and the first match under the leadership of Roberto Mancini, who returned to the post of head coach. Courtois, who refused to play for the national team in the League of Nations, will not play in the opponent's goal. This can be a significant problem, as Sam Lammens is not reliable, and the leaders de Bruyne and Lukaku called up at the start of the season at their clubs are not impressive with their bright game. We believe that the hosts will start with a victory over a comfortable opponent.
Our betting tip is that Italy will win by a factor of 2.24
Bet on the total
The Belgian national team's defense is not reliable, and without Courtois in goal, there could be even more problems. In four of the five previous face-to-face meetings, the Italians hit the Belgian goal more than once, which we are waiting for today.
The second bet is Italy's individual goal total of more than 1.5 with a coefficient of 2.02
Betting on corners
In five of the last six matches, the Italians have won on corners. In their own field, the hosts will clearly act as the first number and will be able to confirm their trend in the corners.
Prediction – Italy wins on corners with a coefficient of 1.85
