Football Livescore | Match Prediction & Tips
-----------------------
Italy and Israel, both strong performers in their last matches, face each other in Hungary as they compete for a playoff spot in Group I, knowing they must avoid dropping points while Norway is favored to lead the group.
Team Analysis:
After a rough start under new coach Gennaro Gattuso, Italy bounced back with a dominant 5-0 win over Estonia but still trails Norway in Group I and faces a tough match against Israel, who lead the group’s playoff race and seek to end their long World Cup drought.
Player Situation:
Italy switched back to a four-man defense and may continue pairing Mateo Retegui with Moise Kean upfront, while integrating new talents like Giacomo Raspadori. Israel is expected to field a similar lineup to their last win, relying on key players like Dor Peretz and Manor Solomon, with their captain Eli Dasa’s fitness under scrutiny against Italy’s strong attack.
Result Prediction:
Italy faces a challenging match against a rising Israel team on neutral ground but looks poised to secure victory if their defense remains solid and their newfound attacking spark continues.
Predicted Result: Israel 1-2 Italy.
