Match Preview: What’s at stake?

Italy and Turkiye meet again just one week after their first UEFA Nations League encounter, but the stakes are very different for the two teams. Italy currently sit third in League A, Group A1 with four points from three matches, behind France on seven and Belgium on six. Turkiye are at the bottom with zero points after losing all three of their games.

The Azzurri have responded strongly after losing 2-0 to Belgium on Matchday 1. They defeated Turkiye 4-1 in Bursa on September 28, then earned a valuable 1-1 draw away against France on October 2, with Alessandro Bastoni scoring the equalizer. Another victory in Bologna would give Roberto Mancini‘s team seven points and put them firmly into the fight for one of the group’s top two positions.

For Turkiye, the situation is considerably more urgent. Vincenzo Montella‘s side have lost to France, Italy and Belgium, conceding eight goals while scoring only once in the competition.

Another defeat would leave them with a huge amount of ground to make up in the battle to avoid relegation from League A. The Crescent-Stars will also be without some major attacking talent, with Arda Guler and Baris Alper Yilmaz suspended, while Hakan Calhanoglu and Kenan Yildiz have been dealing with injuries.
