Italy vs Belgium: Nations League preview
Van Bommel has inherited one of the tougher briefs in European international football. Belgium have already been unable to live up to the expectations set by their array of talent. Now, they carry the weight of that failure too.
Having managed in Belgium as well as the Netherlands and Germany, Van Bommel has some managerial pedigree. He was a success with Antwerp but has been out of the management game for more than two years.
Mancini is a known quantity in Italy and around the globe. The 61-year-old has returned for a second stint in charge of the national team after leading them to European Championship glory in 2021.
This is one of the opening fixtures in Group A1, which looks very promising in terms of potential entertainment value. The other game sees France take on Turkey in one of the most top-heavy groups – in theory – anywhere in the Nations League.
Belgium haven’t beaten Italy in a competitive fixture since 1972. Last time they met was also in the Nations League and ended in a 1-0 win for the Azzurri in Brussels two years ago.
FourFourTwo’s prediction
Italy 2-0 Belgium
The Mancini factor should see Italy past a Belgium team in transition.
