 ROME - On Thursday evening the Azzurri face their next challenge in the Nations League against Belgium. The match promises to be an exciting spetacle, with the last encounter between the two rivals resutling in a tense 2-2 draw.

However, the Belgians' necessity to win in order to stay in the Nations League is likely to spur them on, and make the challenge even tougher for the Italians.
