Italy takes face Belgium this Monday at 21:45 at the Manchester Academy Stadium as part of the third day of the Euro. A crucial encounter for the goal of qualifying for the semifinal quarters. Not at the level in its Euro debut, Italy never won and no longer held the key to its fate. Having lost to France in the first game (5-1) and failing to perform as expected against Iceland (1-1), she must definitely start over on Monday. On the other hand, Belgium is in a similar predicament with losses to France (2-1) and Iceland (0-0). (1-1). However, Belgium advances Italy in favor of a better goal difference. Thus, Belgium is prepared to face this ominous Italy.
The absence
Milena Bertolini will have the full support of her team for this vital meeting. Belgium will be missing defender Amber Tysiak, who was sent off against France after receiving a second yellow card.

The editor’s pronunciation
- Italy 1-1 Belgium
Both teams have everything to lose on Monday and even if Italy can still qualify if they win against Belgium and lose Iceland, the level shown in the first two games does not bode well. On the Belgian side, the two matches were rather satisfactory and the players of Ives Serneels could well play a bad trick on the Italians. That’s why a 1-1 draw seems possible.
