Israel vs Italy prediction

Israel come into this one on the back of a 4-0 hammering of Moldova at the Zimbru Stadium in the Moldovan capital city of Chisinau the other day, with goals from Dor Peretz, Manor Solomon, Tai Baribo and Oscar Gloukh. The Israelis are in a competitive fight for a runner up spot in this group after Norway’s excellent start.

If Israel can topple Italy here then there is a real chance that the Italians, for a third time in a row, miss out on FIFA World Cup qualification. Gennaro Gattuso’s Azzurri did begin his stint in charge with a 5-0 demolition of Estonia the other day, despite an indifferent first-half that was goalless at half-time.

Israel will believe they can take the game to the Italians for this one, but Italy, surely, have to start finding some cohesion in games that matter, but they may not be convincing.

Israel vs Italy tip: Italy to win & both teams to score
