Italy weren’t too dominant, but they were clinical, and that will be the difference maker in this game against Israel.

That win against France was a huge result for the Italians. They haven’t been able to defeat France since 2008. Whilst France do seem to be on the decline, Italy will take great pride in a win against the 2018 World Cup winners, and 2022 World Cup runner-ups.

Israel were just beaten by Belgium. And they also have an awful record against the Italians. In there five meetings with Israel, they’ve won four and drawn once. In three of those meetings there have been over 2.5 goals scored.

Scoring goals for Italy has been a problem over recent years. After a convincing win over France, they’ll want to kick-on and show how deadly they can be against sides like Israel.
