Belgium host Italy at Koning Boudewijnstadion, Bruxelles (Brussel) on Sunday, Nov 15 at 8:45 PM in a top-four clash that could have significant title implications. Both sides are separated by just 1 point in the League A – Group 1, making this one of the more consequential fixtures of the season.

Belgium come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 0D 2L). Italy, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 1D 1L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Belgium head into this on the back of a defeat, while Italy arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.

Despite playing at home, Belgium face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Italy have won 6 of 9 encounters, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in Italy won 0–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.6 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Belgium a slight edge, but Italy are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
