Football Livescore | Match Prediction & Tips
----------------------------
Italy faces Estonia in Bergamo as they try to regain momentum in their World Cup 2026 qualifying campaign, needing crucial wins to avoid missing a third consecutive World Cup under new management.
Team Analysis:
Luciano Spalletti’s unexpected exit as Italy’s coach came before his final match, ending a troubled period marked by World Cup qualifying failures and a poor start in Group I. Now under new coach Gennaro Gattuso, Italy faces a tough task to catch up, needing wins against Estonia and Israel to avoid playoffs. Estonia, still seeking their first major tournament appearance, have struggled against Italy but remain hopeful in qualifying despite recent losses.
Player Situation:
Gattuso plans to return Italy to a four-man defense, with Gianluigi Donnarumma confirmed as goalkeeper. Several new players are on the bench, while key forwards compete for starting spots. Estonia, missing captain Karol Mets, have called up a 26-man squad led by goalkeeper Karl Hein and likely striker Rauno Sappinen for their upcoming matches.
Result Prediction:
Despite ongoing challenges, Italy under Gattuso is expected to secure a comfortable home win over Estonia, who often struggle against stronger teams.
Predicted Result: Italy 2-0 Estonia.
