UEFA Nations League League A Round 6
Belgium and Italy continue their League A campaign in the 2026 UEFA Nations League. This fixture marks the sixth round of group-stage play, a critical point in the competition where both nations will be seeking to strengthen their position.
Contrasting recent trajectories
Italy enter in noticeably stronger form, recording 3 wins and 1 draw from their last 5 matches for 10 points, while also maintaining a solid defensive record with 5 goals conceded against 9 scored. Belgium, by contrast, show inconsistency with 2 wins and 3 losses from their past 5 outings, accumulating 6 points. Their goal tally is balanced at 7 for and 7 against, suggesting neither offensive nor defensive dominance in recent play.
MIXED FORM
GOOD FORM
Recent head-to-head record
Italy hold the advantage in their recent rivalry, winning 3 of the 5 most recent meetings against Belgium, with 1 draw. Most recently, Belgium won 2-0 away at Italy on 25 September 2026 in this same competition. Before that, Italy claimed a 1-0 away victory at Belgium on 14 November 2024, and the sides drew 2-2 in Italy on 10 October 2024. Earlier meetings in 2021 saw Italy win both a Nations League encounter at home (2-1) and a Euro Championship semi-final away (2-1). The sample reflects a closely fought rivalry with Italy's slight but clear historical edge.
Form versus history
Italy's superior recent momentum—10 points from 5 matches against Belgium's 6—contrasts with the fact that Belgium secured a convincing 2-0 away win just weeks ago in September. Italy's tighter defence (5 goals conceded vs. Belgium's 7) and their 3-1 head-to-head advantage in wins across these five recent meetings suggest structural strength, yet Belgium's recent away victory and home advantage here introduce genuine uncertainty. The fixture hinges on whether Italy can sustain their current form trajectory or whether Belgium can recapture the intensity that produced their recent win in Rome.
Key Factors
Italy's superior recent form: 3 wins and 1 draw in their last 5 matches (10 points) versus Belgium's 2 wins and 3 losses (6 points)
Italy's defensive solidity: 5 goals conceded in their last 5 matches compared to Belgium's 7
Belgium's recent away win: secured a 2-0 victory at Italy on 25 September 2026, their most recent head-to-head meeting
Italy's historical head-to-head edge: 3 wins to Belgium's 1 from their last 5 meetings, with 1 draw
Home advantage for Belgium: hosting Italy at their own ground, a factor that has historically been competitive between these sides
