Italy vs England 23.09.2022

Italy and England will look to salvage their Nations League fortune when they lock horns in Friday’s Matchday 5 fixture. Having had a slow start to this year’s campaign, Italy and England find themselves 3rd and 4th respectively with Hungary surprising many after emerging top of Group C with 7 points in 4 games.

With just 1 win in their last 4 Nations League matches, Italy must get back to winning ways in earnest. For England, they head into this tie on the back of an embarrassing 4-0 home defeat to Hungary. In fact, Southgate’s men have not won any of this season’s Nations League matches.

Hence, to be in good stead and avoid relegation to League B, a return to winning ways is essential for the Three Lions.

Given that both sides are in a desperate search for all 3 points here, we expect an intriguing tie. Looking at how 5 of their last 6 games panned out, we are expecting both teams to score here
