Domenico Tedesco has only been able to collect four points from four games with Belgium in the Nations League. The “Red Devils” only managed to win against Israel, the bottom team with no points so far – not enough for them to possibly advance.
But this is still possible. To do this, Belgium must first win against Italy on Thursday. If that succeeds, there will be a final against Israel next week.
Tedesco under pressure! Belgium is fighting for its last chance against Italy
A victory for Israel against France on Thursday would be good for this. Such a move would be quite surprising, but it would still give Belgium the opportunity to overtake France on the final day of the match. In addition, if Tedesco’s team wins against Italy on the last day of the match, they could hope that France will win and thus overtake Italy, which is currently six points ahead of Belgium. In any case, Belgium needs two wins from two games if they want to progress.
For Italy, however, the path is clear – one point is enough to advance, regardless of the game in which it is achieved. The Italians also have group victory in their own hands because on the last matchday they face France, who are currently nine points behind coach Luciano Spalletti’s team. If Italy loses against Belgium there is a risk of a crazy constellation on the last match day – namely that Italy can both win the group and be kicked out.
