Nations League 2024-2025: Italy-Belgium, the likely lineups

Italy-Belgium, the probable formations

Italy takes on Belgium in the third day of the Nations League. Kickoff at 8:45 p.m. at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. The Azzurri, with full points in Group 2 of League A, want to score their third consecutive victory. The Red Devils want to bounce back after the last knockout against France.

Spalletti relies on Retegui in attack, with Pellegrini, ahead of Raspadori, behind him. In midfield Ricci in the box, assisted by Frattesi and Tonali, on the outsides Cambiaso and Dimarco. Defense headed by Bastoni, with Di Lorenzo and Calafiori on his sides, between the posts Donnarumma.

Tedesco must do without Lukaku, not summoned: in his place there'è Openda. On the three-quarter ballot De Ketelaere-Trossard, with Lukebakio and Doku on the outside of the attack. Midfield dike formed by Mangala, favored over Onana, and Tielemans. Full-backs will act the former Atalanta Castagne on the right and the former Bologna Theate on the left, in goal Casteels.
