Team Analysis
International matches continue this Monday and Tuesday with the second round of the Nations League and Asian qualifiers. Yesterday, there were no fan updates, but the four selected matches shared on private messages were spot on! As September progresses, we're gradually getting on track for victories. The peak will come with the return of the top five leagues. This week, we start with fan updates for the Nations League, sharing a match from League A. Tonight features a key game between France and Belgium, while Italy, who defeated France away in the first round, will face Israel at home. In their first-round match, Israel lost 1-3 away to Belgium, with all four goals being Belgian—one was an own goal and one a penalty. Israel's defense has been poor, conceding 14 goals in their last four matches.

Italy sees the return of Tonali, and with his excellent form, they turned around their 1-0 deficit to win 3-1 away against France in the first round. This Italy is certainly different from the one we saw in the European Championship. Tonight, facing the weakest team in the group, Italy might continue their winning streak and solidify their position at the top of the group.

Odds Analysis
Both teams won 3-1 in their respective first-round matches. Given this, Israel is seen as the underdog. However, they have the home advantage and Italy will be missing some key players who will return to the top five leagues for more intense matches this weekend. Particularly, Tonali, who has just come back, will need to prove his worth at Newcastle. Thus, Italy's motivation tonight might not be as strong as it was against France. Nonetheless, Israel's defense remains a significant issue and their attack has been ineffective. Italy might win by a small margin, but a large victory is unlikely. Therefore, the recommendation leans towards fewer goals being scored.

Pick: Under 3 Goals
