Italy vs Israel Nations League free betting tip

After Sunday’s break, the fourth round of the A-League will continue on Monday evening, when the Hungarian national team will take to the pitch. In this article, however, we analyse the match between Italy and Israel, where the Easterners, who have zero points so far, will try to score again.

Realistically, there is not much chance of that, especially if you look at the Israeli scoreline. They lost easily to Italy (1-2), Belgium (1-3) and France (1-4), but the sensation in their case is that they managed to score a goal in all three meetings.

We write “sensation” because they scored only once in the whole 90 minutes against France, but against Belgium and Italy they only scored one of the two shots on target. Israel are nowhere near as close to their rivals on the scoreboard as they were beaten by all three rivals.

Abu Fani’s weakness did not come out of nowhere, of course, as we know best that it is difficult to succeed at international level without top league players and the current Israeli squad does not have a single player from the top five leagues.

Team news

The Italians are coming off a bitter match, as despite taking a 2-0 lead against Belgium relatively early on, Lorenzo Pellegrini’s sending off put them in a difficult position and the Western Europeans eventually equalised. Despite this, they lead the group by seven points with two home games to play, with Monday’s game clearly the easier of the two.

For the Italians, who were relegated at the European Championships in the summer, this series is clearly more important than either the French or the Spanish, so they will be looking to delight their fans with an NL final, which is still a distinct possibility.

The Israeli national team is clearly very much on the way down from this quartet, and it would be practically sensational if they could pick up even one point from the group in the six games. With Israel having scored in every game so far, our betting odds seem a little incomprehensible, but we think the Italian defence will nullify the visitors and take the three points.

Israel have virtually nothing to do with the game, it’s hard to see them converting their only situation into a goal time and time again. The Italians were very confident until the exhibition on Thursday, and the Belgians barely got to a position in the first 40 minutes, so we think the home side will have a good chance to hold the Israelis to zero now. Even so, Luciano Spalletti may well make a few changes from the game against the Belgians.
