Needing one point to secure a place in the UEFA Nations League quarter-finals, Italy will meet Belgium as League A Group 2 draws closer to its conclusion on Thursday.

Belgium: 

Facing a must-win situation, Belgium host Italy in Brussels with their Nations League hopes hanging by a thread. After a frustrating 2-1 loss to France last month, where Youri Tielemans missed a penalty and Lois Openda found the net, Belgium's only win in the group remains a 3-1 victory over Israel. Currently sitting third, Domenico Tedesco's side must secure all three points to stay in contention for the quarter-finals. Although Belgium have struggled historically against Italy, a win would give them a fighting chance ahead of their last match against Israel.

Italy: 

Needing just a draw to secure their spot in the quarter-finals, Italy enter this clash with a refreshed squad and strong momentum. The Azzurri are unbeaten in Group 2 and are coming off a 4-1 win over Israel, with Giovanni Di Lorenzo and Mateo Retegui leading the scoring. Under Luciano Spalletti, Italy’s younger lineup has flourished, rebounding from an early setback to defeat France and stay unbeaten since. With players like Alessandro Bastoni and Sandro Tonali thriving, Italy are poised for a solid finish in Belgium, with another clash against France awaiting them on Sunday at San Siro.
