Each team's starting lineup from their previous match in this tournament is listed.

Israel

Ran Ben Shimon's squad held on for a 0-0 draw away against France in the previous round. This result ended Israel's four-match losing streak in the Nations League and earned them their first points in the current edition of the tournament. The team still has a chance to retain their spot in League A, but to do so, Israel needs to win by at least a three-goal margin.

Defender Sagiv Yehezkel will miss the game due to suspension.

• The team has not won in regular time in their last five Nations League matches (1 draw, 4 losses).
• At least three goals have been scored in 90 minutes in 8 of the last 9 matches for the national team in this tournament.
• Israel scored exactly one or two goals in regular time in 9 of their last 10 Nations League games.

Belgium

Domenico Tedesco's side suffered a 0-1 defeat at home to Italy in the last round. As a result, Belgium has lost three of their last four Nations League matches. The team remains with four points and is not in contention for the playoffs. If Belgium maintains third place, they will face playoff matches to stay in League A.

• The team has not won in regular time in 5 of their last 6 Nations League encounters (1 draw, 4 losses).
• The national team has conceded in 90 minutes in seven consecutive Nations League matches.
• Belgium scored a maximum of one goal in regular time in 6 of their last 9 matches in this tournament.

Israel vs. Belgium: Match Prediction

In the elite division of the Nations League, Israel has struggled to fully showcase their potential, yet they still have a theoretical chance to secure their place in League A. Notably, the team plays boldly and has only failed to score in one match in the current Nations League campaign. Moreover, their encounter with France in the last round ended Israel's nine-match scoring streak in this tournament.

Belgium focuses heavily on attacking football and rarely fails to find the opposition's net. In 20 of their last 23 Nations League matches, the national team scored in regular time, and in 14 of those occasions, they scored at least twice. However, their defensive performance leaves much to be desired, as Belgium has conceded in 13 of their last 14 Nations League matches.

I believe this match will be productive for both opponents. My prediction: Both teams to score – yes
