Following a brief lapse in judgement that resulted in a draw in their previous match, Italy seeks to maintain their position at the peak of League A Group 2 on Monday evening as they welcome UEFA Nations League rivals Israel to Udine. The Italy vs Israel match will kick off at 19:45 UK Time.
Recently, the Italians demonstrated their position as frontrunners in the LN group. It emerged following the initial rounds. The team then confidently faced Israel, securing a 2:1 victory. Still, more significantly, they triumphed over France with a score of 3:1. This occurred following the unsuccessful Euro-2024, where Spalletti’s team struggled to advance from the group stage and was swiftly eliminated by Switzerland in the play-offs.
The national team has drawn specific conclusions. A few days ago, they faced Belgium and appeared to be on track for a straightforward victory, having established a 2-0 lead by the middle of the first half. However, Pellegrini received a red card for a blatant foul. The Belgians appeared poised for a comeback and a potential victory, yet that outcome did not materialise. Spalletti’s team still seemed quite competent, managed to regroup, and ultimately secured a draw – 2:2.
On the other hand, Israel realizes its position in the group as the primary candidate for relegation to League B. It is completely understandable; all the opponents are top-ranked, making it quite challenging for the team. In each of the three rounds, the Israelis faced defeat, yet they managed to score one goal in every match—1:3 against Belgium, 1:2 against Italy, and 1:4 against France. The team currently occupies the last position in the group.
