UEFA Nations League Prediction: Belgium vs Italy (15-11-2026)

Belgium host Italy at the King Baudouin Stadium in Brussels on Sunday, November 15, with a UEFA Nations League quarter-final place at stake. Italy lead Group A1 on ten points, level with France and one ahead of the hosts.

Both teams came from behind to win on Thursday. Belgium beat Türkiye 2-1, while Italy defeated France 3-1. The hosts must win to qualify; Roberto Mancini’s side can progress with a draw.

For a fixture in which Italy may be satisfied with a point, the distinction matters: a draw returns the stake rather than counting as a losing bet.

Italy have recovered strongly from September’s 2-0 home defeat to Belgium. They have since beaten Türkiye twice and France once, with a 1-1 draw away to France between those victories.

Their two away group matches have produced four points and five goals.

Thursday’s result against France was their clearest sign of progress. Italy recovered from Michael Olise’s early goal to win 3-1, with Francesco Pio Esposito scoring twice and Davide Frattesi adding the other.

Mancini’s team have scored at least three goals in three of their last four UEFA Nations League group fixtures.

Belgium’s home record in this campaign is less convincing than their overall standing. They beat Türkiye 3-0 but lost 1-0 to France, and were subsequently beaten 4-1 in Paris.

Their latest comeback in Türkiye showed their attacking threat, with Kevin De Bruyne and Charles De Ketelaere scoring within four minutes of each other.

Jérémy Doku returned to action in Türkiye after missing the first four group games. Romelu Lukaku missed Thursday’s match with a hip problem, and his availability remains uncertain.

Italy are without defender Gianluca Mancini, who withdrew from the squad through injury.

The first meeting remains a warning: Belgium won 2-0 in Rome. Italy have also conceded in all five group matches, so another clean sheet cannot be taken for granted.

Still, Italy’s improvement since September and their stronger recent results against France make the away side competitive in Brussels.

The DNB selection wins with an Italy victory, returns the stake on a draw and loses if Belgium win.
