Italy vs Belgium score prediction
Italy have underwhelmed somewhat at Euro 2022 thus far, while Belgium made a France side brimming with world class talent really work for their victory last time out. The Red Flames looked dangerous on the counter attack, and Tessa Wullaert and Janice Cayman combined particularly effectively.
There were flashes of quality from Italy during their draw against Iceland, with the pace of Barbara Bonansea a real threat. The Azzurre could finally make their presence felt at the tournament in their final group game with a narrow victory. Will it be enough to see them through?
Prediction: Italy 2-1 Belgium
