Italy is looking to follow up their recent success with another win against Israel in their upcoming match for the 2024/25 UEFA Nations League on Monday.
They bounced back after conceding an early goal to France, with impressive goals from Federico Dimarco, Davide Frattesi, and Giacomo Raspadori, leading to a 3-1 victory.
On the other hand, Israel faced a challenging defeat against Belgium, also finishing 3-1. They managed to equalize temporarily, but could not cope with the challenge posed by Kevin De Bruyne and his team.

Team News and Lineups
Italy is expected to maintain the same lineup that achieved victory over France. Although Ricardo Califiori endured a minor injury, he might still recover in time; however, his participation is uncertain.
Italy will miss players such as Gianluca Scamacca and Nicolo Barella, but they welcome back Sandro Tonali, Destiny Udogie, and Moise Kean.
Predicted Italy XI (3-5-2, left to right): Donnarumma (GK) — Di Lorenzo, Buongiorno, Bastoni — Cambiaso, Ricci, Tonali, Frattesi, Dimarco — Raspadori, Retegui
Injured: Scammaca, Barella, Califiori
Suspended: None
Israel is likely to stick with a similar team to that which faced Belgium. Manor Solomon will continue as captain with Eli Dasa sidelined due to injury.
While Anan Khalaili was the sole striker last match, Maccabi Haifa’s Dean David may provide an alternative option upfront.
Predicted Israel XI (3-4-2-1, left to right): Gerafi (GK) — Shlomo, Nachmias, Gandelman — Jehezkel, Lavi, Peretz, Gropper — Solomon, Gloukh — Khalaili.
Injured: Dasa

Match Prediction
Following their win over France, Italy is expected to carry that momentum into the game against an inexperienced Israel team, with only four players from the last match against Belgium having more than ten caps.
The expectation is a comfortable victory for Italy.
- Prediction: Israel 0-2 Italy
