#Italy quite unexpectedly topped Group 2 of Division A after the first two rounds with two victories: over France - 3:1 and #Israel - 2:1. The victories were absolutely on #business, on the #game. Obviously, the conclusions from the failed Euro have been drawn and the Italians are systematically preparing for the #WorldCup, which was announced after the Euro as an explanation of why Luciano Spaletti retained his post. The Italians will be missing Gatti, Chiesa, #Locatelli and #Barella for this slot of matches. All players by and large have an equivalent replacement, and therefore it can be said that at the home game against Belgium, the Italian national team comes fully armed.
But the Belgian national team continues to show unimpressive results, and things are not the best with the squad. After the unsuccessful Euros, where the Belgians as well as the Italians crashed out at the first stage of the play-offs, Vertonghen and #Carrasco announced the end of their careers in the national team. Belgium started the Nations League with a 3-1 victory over Israel. The match was held on a neutral field, without spectators and can not fully characterise the national team. But the second match against #France has already exposed all the problems of the Belgians. The French won confidently - 2:0, completely outplaying the opponent. For this slot of international matches #Belgium will not be missing not only Courtois, who has a long-standing conflict with head coach Tedesco, but also will not be #Lukaku and De Bruyne (on whose account 2 out of 3 goals of the national team in this LN). The official version says that the players asked not to be called up because of their busy schedule, but rumours say that the national team leaders also have a conflict with the head coach. All this does not add to the Belgians' vistas before the match with the Italian team, which has shown itself well, and in the face-to-face confrontation it is the Italian team that has the advantage.
