Poland vs Italy
UEFA Nations League
Date: Sunday, 11 October 2020
Kick-off at 19:45 UK/ 20:45 CET
Venue: Stadion Energa Gdansk (Gdańsk).
Poland had quickly bounced back from a 1-0 loss to Netherlands in the opening League A clash in the UNL fixture this season, with a 2-1 win on the road against Bosnia last time out in the schedule. They are tied with Holland at 3 points and are far from making into the League A play-offs.
Italy is leading the Group 1 table with a winless streak, including a 0-1 win on the road against Netherlands in the previous UNL clash in their schedule. They will return home to relish the 1-1 draw with Bosnia in the last home match in the tournament.
Poland’s victory in the previous clash might have given them a confidence boost and improved the morale of the players in the squad. Considering that key attacker Robert Lewandowski returns to contention, we are positive that the hosts can grab something from the match despite the result.
Italy has a tough job in hand during their visit, despite trying to build on their winless streak in the UNL table this season. We expect Ciro Immobile to lead the line for the visitors. Meanwhile, Marco Verratti should be recalled to the playing eleven to support the Blues.
Poland can expect to slot in goals in ninety minutes, but they can’t rely on the Bayern striker alone to take all three points. Since the match is tight and the Blues are the closer favorites, the draw no bet over Italy will probably be the best bet for the punters.
Along with that, the tip for Italy to win either half will also come in handy considering the away team’s form in the tournament as of late.
