Italy-Israel prediction odds and analysis of the 2026 World Cup match

The Italian national team returns to the field in Udine, at the Bluenergy Stadium, where it will face Israel: a real play-off to secure second place and secure the playoffs for the 2026 World Cup scheduled in the United States, Mexico and Canada. Let’s find out the prediction and odds for Italy-Israel scheduled for Tuesday 14 October at 8.45pm.

ITALY-ISRAEL PREDICTION ODDS

—

Italy is fresh from the 3-1 success in Tallinn: this is the third victory for Gennaro Gattuso who now has to put his stamp on the next playoffs to be held in March. In the match against Estonia, the Italian coach lost Bastoni who was booked and will have to miss Udine due to disqualification and almost certainly Kean, who sprained his ankle. In advance, to play alongside Retegui, the young Pio Esposito who scored his first goal with the Italy shirt against Estonia. Alternatively, it is possible that Raspadori changes position and places himself behind the former Atalanta player.

But whatever Gattuso’s choices, there will be only one path, as will the objective to be achieved: a victory is needed and possibly less painful than that of the first leg in Debrecen, decided by Tonali with time up for a sensational 5-4 final. Considering that the national team will have to play an attacking game, the 1 sign at halftime should be evaluated: a solution found on the board at 1.53 on Bet365, 1.52 on Eurobet, 1.50 on Admiralbet and 1.49 on Starcasinò.

ISRAEL’S ATTEMPT

—

Our opponents have just suffered a bad defeat against Norway: a 0-5 which has also weighed down their goal difference, now at minus 1. In six games, Israel has won 9 points while Italy has 12 points in five matches: this is why by winning in Udine, Gattuso could dedicate himself to preparing for the March matches. In fact, it is unlikely that Norway will be able to stop in November against Estonia, reopening the games in a direct clash where the Azzurri would still present themselves with a goal difference that is too lower than that of Haaland and his teammates: we are currently at +7 and our rivals at +26. In Tallinn a duck from Donnarumma caused the Estonians to score, while in Debrecen Italy had even conceded four goals against Israel: this time Gattuso, in addition to winning, would like to keep a clean sheet despite Bastoni’s absence. The possible NoGoal is on the board at odds of 1.78 on Vincitu, 1.77 on Betflag, 1.76 on Netbet and 1.75 on Snai.
