Belgium Women vs Italy Women Predictions

Can Belgium’s Firepower Outshine Italy’s Revival in Group B’s Crucial Opener?

• Defensive instability plagues Belgium
  • Conceding 22 goals in just nine matches shows Belgium’s backline is still far from convincing, making clean sheets a distant dream.
• Goal-laden trend continues
  • Four of Italy’s last five fixtures and five of Belgium’s previous six have produced three or more goals — the scoring patterns are hard to ignore.
• Italy’s attacking revival
  • With goals in eight of their last nine matches, Italy have found a consistency in front of goal that could prove decisive in Group B.

Best Bet for Belgium Women vs Italy Women

The lights will be on at Stade de Tourbillon and emotions will be sky-high as Belgium face off against Italy in what already feels like a must-win clash for both sides. Group B in Women’s Euro 2025 isn’t exactly forgiving. With Spain looming ominously in the same section and Portugal no easy task either, this opening match could well define who gets a foot in the knockout door and who’s left chasing shadows. For Belgium and Italy, there’s very little room for error — and even less patience for a cagey performance.

Both teams have had their share of pre-tournament drama and inconsistencies, but there’s no denying the hunger in both camps. Belgium, under fresh guidance, are trying to carve out a new identity and inject a bit of bite into their often timid displays. They’ve shown flickers of what’s possible, with results like their triumph over England catching the eye. Italy, on the other hand, surprised a few by topping their qualifying group, even if their nine-point haul looked more gritty than glorious. Now, with history nudging at their back and fresh confidence bubbling, they come to Sion with something to prove — and maybe, just maybe, the tools to do it.

Best Bet for Belgium vs Italy: Over 2.5 Goals

It’s not a shot in the dark — it’s built on patterns, player form, and tactical nuances that point in one direction: goals.

Let’s be clear — this isn’t the kind of game where both teams are going to sit back and hope for a scrappy 1-0. Belgium’s recent matches have been anything but subtle. Since their change in manager, they’ve become a more adventurous side, which unfortunately also means a bit more chaotic. They’ve leaked 22 goals in their last nine internationals — that’s not a typo. Defensively, they’re as solid as a sponge. But going forward, they’ve got real threats, especially with Tessa Wullaert leading the line, who’s not just prolific but plays with a chip on her shoulder that defenders often struggle to handle.

Italy, meanwhile, seem to have turned a page. Their group-stage flops in previous tournaments still sting, but the way they topped their qualifying section ahead of the Netherlands showed they’re no longer content with mediocrity. They’ve managed to find the net in eight of their last nine games, and while they’re not exactly relentless, they do know how to create chances — and finish them.

This sets up a perfect storm. Belgium will press and counter quickly, leaving space at the back. Italy will look to build, combine, and exploit that space. The balance of this game suggests an open affair where both sides can score — but neither is likely to keep things tight.

“You’ve got two teams who can’t afford to lose, one side that concedes for fun, and another that thrives in open matches — that’s a recipe for goals.” – Herrin Kendrick, BettingTips4You.com

So, if you’re expecting a chess match, look elsewhere. This one feels like it’ll be more rollercoaster than stalemate, and over 2.5 goals looks like the clearest angle.

Correct Score Prediction: Belgium 1-2 Italy

Although Belgium have the kind of attacking options that make any side wary, their defensive vulnerability continues to cost them. Italy, with their current balance and edge in midfield, could just edge this with a touch more composure in front of goal. A 2-1 win for the Italians feels like the sweet spot — competitive, close, and absolutely crucial.
