Italy will aim to secure back-to-back victories when they face Israel in their second match of the 2024/25 UEFA Nations League campaign on Monday.

After conceding an early goal to France, Italy promptly turned things around with strikes from Federico Dimarco, Davide Frattesi, and Giacomo Raspadori to claim a 3-1 win.

Meanwhile, Israel suffered a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Belgium in their opening game. Although they briefly equalised, they struggled to contain Kevin De Bruyne and his teammates.

Israel vs. Italy lineups, team news

Italy will probably field the same side that played in the win over France. Ricardo Califiori suffered a freak injury during that game, and while is likely to recover quickly from it, he could still miss the game against Israel. 

The likes of  Gianluca Scamacca and Nicolo Barella remain on the sidelines for Italy. However, the Azzurri are boosted by the return of Sandro Tonali, Destiny Udogie, and Moise Kean.

Italy predicted XI (3-5-2, right to left): Donnarumma (GK) — Di Lorenzo, Buongiorno, Bastoni — Cambiaso, Ricci, Tonali, Frattesi, Dimarco — Raspadori, Retegui

Injured: Scammaca, Barella, Califiori
Suspended: None

Israel are likely to field a similar lineup to the one that lost to Belgium. Manor Solomon will continue to lead the side as skipper Eli Dasa is out with injury.

While Anan Khalaili started as the lone striker against Belgium, Maccabi Haifa striker Dean David could be an alternative up front for Israel.

Israel predicted XI (3-4-2-1, right to left): Gerafi(GK) — Shlomo, Nachmias, Gandelman — Jehezkel, Lavi, Peretz, Gropper— Solomon, Gloukh — Khalaili.

Injured: Dasa
Suspended: None

Israel vs. Italy Prediction 

Italy will likely ride the confidence they gained from their win over France into their match against Israel. Furthermore, this Israel side is highly inexperienced with only four of their players against Belgium having featured in more than 10 times.

It should be an easy game for Italy.

• Prediction: Israel 0-2 Italy
