Monday night in Lisbon will host the central match of the League of Nations of this day's game - Portugal will take the Italian team.
The last time these teams met in 2015, when the Portuguese won the sparring with a score of 0: 1. I wonder if the Italians will be able to take revenge on the road 3 years later?

Team Portugal very unsuccessfully held the World Cup 2018, because it took off already at the stage of the 1/8 finals. And not even the defeat of Uruguay (1: 2) is considered a failure, but in general a dull game of the Portuguese. Now the wards of Santos look no better, especially in the composition there is no leader of the national team - Cristiano Ronaldo got a rest.
But the Italian team is going through hard times, and the coach is not entirely suitable for this (subjective opinion). Yes, Roberto Mancini is a good specialist, but pulling teams "from the bottom" is not quite his specialty. The head coach has already updated the squad, but this does not bring any result. And in any case, the "scuadra adzurra" did not pass less ...

Bookmakers are difficult to distinguish the favorite of this pair, because both teams are "on the decline".

September 10, 2018 at 21:45 at the stadium "Estadio da Luz" will meet the national team of Portugal and Italy in the second round of the League of Nations.
Team Portugal has a number of excellent players ready to demonstrate the result in every match, but the change of generations this team expects only ahead. As before, there are players in the team who have been helping out the national team for many years. At home, the Portuguese team rarely loses. Of the last ten matches, the players only lost once in a friendly match to the Netherlands 0-3. In addition, Portugal plays very carefully, and rarely gives the opportunity to create moments at their gates.

The Italians were not lucky to be selected for the World Cup 2018 and therefore they must prove their skills through the League of Nations in order to justify the confidence of the fans. Recently, in guest games, the Italians are very uncertain and can not win a victory for about five matches. The matches of France, Argentina and even Sweden were lost. Earlier, Italy could show a more worthy game and for 5 matches did not lose even at the outings.

The Portuguese will find it difficult to win a home win in this match, I think the match will be interesting, but not fruitful. The rate: TM2.

Portugal after the qualifying group for the World Cup in Russia, the victories are almost never seen. That preparatory stage to this was held through usually no-man's results, then the very end of the tournament was like this, then after it the Portuguese play for a draw. And they play very boring. Take at least the World Cup, as it looked the Portuguese, how weak they looked in terms of attacks and ingenuity there. And then again, and the UEFA League of Nations, there is also a motivation for a weighty game, which means that an attacking football should not be expected and even more so.

Italy, even despite the head coach, is playing his own, Italian football. And as everyone knows, he does not foresee the crazy game to attack, it's defensive football, boring and not very productive. That in general, and perfectly suited the Italians, who simply do not have in their composition of creative players who are able to go alone alone defensive redoubts of the enemy, well, or just one-touch in three or four gears to score balls. The game is simple, like the Portuguese.
