UEFA Nations League Poland vs Italy
Both nations are in Group 3 of the league A still without victory, which is why the group victory and the associated entry into the mini-tournament between the four group winners this summer is currently hardly an issue. Instead, it is in this duel, in which both teams are standing with their backs to the wall, to remain in the league A. In the odds, Poland against Italy is the sheer outsider, although both teams just recently on the last days a setback experienced and currently are anything but in good shape. The more interesting it is, however, also to look more closely and to deal intensively with the encounter. After all, all three odds in the classic 3-way system are extremely high and thus also lucrative. In this article, we therefore want to determine what the best possible tip looks like, what we want to deal with the initial situation, want to take both counterparties in the form check and last but not least, still take a look at their “head to head” balance want. The result of all these analyzes can then be found in the forecast for Poland versus Italy at the end of this article.
Group winners in this third league group of the first edition of the UEFA Nations League are the reigning European champions Portugal at the latest after their 3-2 away win in Poland last night. The Selecção das Quinas Tugas has six points on the score and would then be ahead of time as group winners, if in this match between Poland and Italy at the end of a draw will jump out again. Thus, the Biało-Czerwoni and the Squadra Azzurra already parted in the first leg in Bologna in early September, a 1-1 draw, which is the only point so far, which have the opponents in the run-up to this second leg on the account. And so it is now just for the four-time world champion from Italy in the truest sense of the word for survival. If you can not finally stop the downtrend that is looming with the missing of the 2018 finals, you can threaten to fall into the bottomless league. Not least because the qualification groups for the European Championship 2020 are determined by the league affiliation of the League of Nations, the mission of the successful European Championship qualifier would be threatened with at least one hammerless – with bad luck even two. Getting rid of the potentially biggest crisis in the history of Italian football would be a bit more difficult.
Conversely, the Poles are far from willing to lose their position as one of the twelve best European nations with a relegation from league A, which is why you will throw into this match in Chorzow everything you have. And what exactly that is, we want to find out now in the form check
Poland – Only one point despite two good performances
After the football World Cup 2018 with the somewhat surprising preliminary round in an actually feasible group was decidedly disappointing, Jerzy Brzęczek has taken over the helm of the Biało-Czerwoni and should lead the country back to its former glory. In the current millennium you missed only the European Championship 2000 and 2004 and was otherwise represented in every major tournament, which should not change at the European Championship in 2020. All the more annoying that so far only two points have emerged from two committed appearances in the UEFA Nations League. The 1-0 lead in Italy could not be brought over the time because of an eleven -meter, before they came off against Portugal despite another 1-0 lead by own goal. Unfortunate sometimes, but only because the results have not voted anymore, one can not ignore that Jerzy Brzęczek has brought a clear handwriting in his team, which now must bear fruit against Italy but first. The problem is that for many of the cornerstones of the team it is currently not around – for example, defender Kamil Glik (AS Monaco) or Robert Lewandowski (Bayern Munich), who since his scoring gun in the UEFA World Cup qualifying in 2018 in the dress of the white -Roten suffers from jamming. But: even at the Squadra Azzurra it is known that these days are anything but round. Is it possible to exploit this to set the course for a stay in league A with a home win?
Italy – The downtrend continues
The Italian national football team won only one single victory from their last ten international matches – and this was scored narrowly against football dwarf Saudi Arabia 2-1. In all other games, it was not enough to win – most recently, they made a mistake on Wednesday evening in the friendly at home in Genoa against Ukraine, against which the troupe of Roberto Mancini had actually planned so much. The biggest drawback here: clearly the game forward, in which it does not want to run any more for some years now, although the staff is nominally impressive. There are, for example, director Jorginho (Chelsea FC), top scorers such as Lorenzo Insigne (SSC Naples) or Ciro Immobile (Lazio Rome) as well as internationally sought-after talents such as Federico Bernadeschi (Juventus Turin). And yet Squadra Azzura have scored only seven goals in their last ten international matches – two of them, as I said, against Saudi Arabia. Defensive, the four-time world champion with his well-occupied central defense around captain Girgio Chiellini and veteran Leonardo Bonucci (both Juventus Turin) certainly not much chalking. Portugal and Poland conceded only one goal in the Nations League. And yet, if you do not score goals in the front, you can not win games. So it was in the first leg against the Biało-Czerwoni a penalty that kept the Squadra Azzurra from losing at home. And yet the next low point in the history of the proud football nation would only be postponed, if now in the away game in Poland not once again the rudder is torn around. The team always has the potential. But also the necessary self-confidence?
Poland – Italy Record – Previous meetings
A total of 15 clashes have already occurred between Poland and Italy and with a total of just five games won, the Squadra Azzurra leads the direct comparison. Thus, the Biało-Czerwoni bring it only to three wins against the four-time world champion, while one otherwise has separated in seven draws mainly draw – so recently in the first leg in early September. Is there again a winner?
Best Bet of the Day Poland vs Italy
At least, Poland’s odds against Italy are such that the draw assumes a 33% probability of occurrence, which, despite the fact that nearly half of all Polish-Italian duels have ended in draws, is clearly too high for a sound bet on it. Our tip goes accordingly to the Biało-Czerwoni, who playfully can not come up with the star power of the Squadra Azzurra, but for the overall better performances have brought in the last games on the court, although the results have voted similarly little. In our prediction for Poland against Italy, we therefore recommend you to bet on Tip 1.
