Three generations of the Maldini family Italy is looking for three consecutive victories despite its fierce rivals（danyu)

At 02:45 a.m. Beijing time on October 11, Group B of the UEFA Nations League A will usher in a key match, Italy hosts Belgium, Group B is composed of France, Italy, Belgium and Israel, which is the group of death in the A-League. The official betting offered a odds combination of 1.90 (Italy wins) 3.15 (draw) 3.50 (Belgium wins), and Italy playing at home has the advantage.

Italy won the first two rounds of the UEFA Nations League group stage, and finished top of the group with six points, beating Belgium and France. They faced France in the first round of the group stage, and after conceding first, the 3-1 comeback showed the team's resilience. Italy's consistent performance is due to solid defence and adaptability, and they are adept at using midfield control to control the tempo of the game. It is worth mentioning that Fiorentina striker Keane Jr. withdrew from the national team training camp due to a back injury and was replaced by Udinese striker Luca, which added some variables to the already nervous Azzurri team. Daniel Maldini was selected for the first time, achieving the feat of three generations of grandparents playing for the Italy national team.

Belgium won 3-1 against Israel in the first two rounds of the UEFA Nations League, and then lost 2-0 to France. Not only are Belgium lacking creativity in attack, captain Kevin De Bruyne has publicly criticised his team-mates, bluntly saying that he is unhappy with the way the team is playing now, and he has also missed the squad due to injury. Belgium's biggest problem at the moment is the lack of creativity in the midfield and the lack of scoring efficiency in the forwards. In addition, the financial problems of the Belgium Football Federation also affect the team, they lost tens of millions of euros in 2023, and off-field factors can easily cause the enthusiasm of the whole team to not meet expectations.

In terms of head-to-head, the last three main matches between the two sides were Euro 16, Euro 21 and UEFA Nations League 21, and Italy won all three games, and scored an average of 2 goals per game, full of psychological advantages.
