UEFA Nations LeagueItalyGermany

The most interesting clash on Saturday in the League of Nations tournament will be at the Renato DalAra Stadium, where Germany hosts European champions Italy. Both teams are in Group 3 of League A, which also includes England and outsider Hungary. The upcoming opponents have not met in an official match since 2016, when they played in the quarterfinals of the European Championship. Then the regular time of their match ended with a score of 1: 1 and came to overtime and penalties, from which Germany emerged victorious.

In the last edition of the tournament, Italy managed to win their group after finishing with a point ahead of the Netherlands. The other two teams in it were Poland and Bosnia and Herzegovina, which is now led by Ivaylo Petev. Germany failed to fight Spain and finished second, leaving behind Switzerland and Ukraine.

On the first day of June, Italy played a final against Argentina for the third historic edition of the Finalissima Trophy. He was won by the Argentines, who managed to prevail with 3-0 over their opponent. Leo Messi assisted Pablo Dibala and Lautaro Martinez, and the third goal was scored by Angel Di Maria.

The Germans have not played since March, when they embarked on two friendly matches. The first of which was easily won 2-0 against Israel, but their second task was far more complicated. Germany was visiting the Netherlands, and the final outcome of their tough clash was a 1: 1 draw.

In this Group 3 there is no clear favorite for the first place, as the fight for it will be between the upcoming opponents and England. In the current century, Germany is not visiting the Italians in an official match, but it was in Italy in three controls. The Germans are without a victory in them, as in only one of them in 2006 they scored more than two goals. I think that again their battle will be quite equal and the hits will be a corner.
