Italy vs Estonia Predictions and Betting Tips
The Stadio Artemio Franchi is the stage for this international friendly this Wednesday as Italy and Estonia go head-to-head. With both sides preparing to round up their UEFA Nations League games, this game will certainly be pivotal.
The most recent meeting between these two sides was back in the qualification stage for the 2012 European Championships. The Azzuri emerged 3-0 winners via goals from Rossi, Cassano, and Pazzini.
The Italians are in quite a dilemma in League A1 of the UEFA Nations League. Mancini and his troops are in third place, two behind Poland, and one behind The Netherlands. As such, their game against the Poles is quite important with the result determining whether they still have a shot at the top of the table.
In their most recent UEFA Nations League game, they played out a 1-1 draw at home to the Netherlands. It only took 25 minutes for the two goals of the game to come by with Pellegrini and van De Beek on the scoresheet for both sides.
Estonia's hopes for promotion to League B is all but over as they sit at the bottom of League C2. With no wins in four games, Voolaid and his boys will be eager to close the curtains on this UEFA Nations League campaign so as to prepare for the next tournament. However, the Estonia faithful will take comfort from the fact that they're managing to score goals with the squad managing zero goals in their first two Nations League games.
They picked up two points in their last two games in League C2, playing out scoring draws with North Macedonia and Armenia. The first against North Macedonia must have been a very good watch for the neutrals with both sides playing out a 3-3 draw. The Estonians followed that up with another 1-1 draw against Armenia much to the delight of their fans.
