A decisive World Cup qualifier looms in Group I as Italy face Israel on neutral ground at Nagyerdei Stadion, Debrecen, Hungary, on Monday, September 8, 2025. Kick-off is scheduled for 14:45 ET. With Norway leading the group, this clash is vital for both sides chasing qualification. For Italy, missing two straight World Cups has left scars, and under Gennaro Gattuso, they are determined to change their fate. Israel, meanwhile, sees this as their golden opportunity to make history.

Form Guide

Italy’s qualifying campaign began poorly with a heavy 3–0 defeat to Norway, but Gattuso’s arrival has steadied the ship. A convincing 5–0 win over Estonia highlighted their attacking potential, while recent results, including a 2–0 victory over Moldova and a 3–3 draw with Germany, suggest they are regaining momentum. Defensive issues remain, but confidence is rising under their new coach.

Israel, meanwhile, has won three of their four qualifiers, including an emphatic 4–0 win over Moldova. Despite losing to Norway, Ran Ben Shimon’s men have impressed with dynamic attacking play led by Manor Solomon and Oscar Gloukh. Their resilience at home and abroad makes them a dangerous opposition for the Azzurri.
