Francesco Pio Esposito To Score Anytime

Reason for tip

Pio Esposito scored the winning goal in both of Italy’s June friendlies to take his tally to five goals in nine international appearances, while he has scored two and assisted one in four Serie A starts for Inter Milan.

15/8odds when tipped

Italy have won nine of their last 11 games.
Belgium are winless in their last five meetings with Italy

Esposito can fire Azzurri to victory

Italy may have missed out on the World Cup again this summer, but they can open their UEFA Nations League campaign with a win over a declining Belgium.

Gli Azzurri have won nine of their last 11 games and won both summer friendlies by a 1-0 scoreline, and they have a solid history against the Red Devils.

Belgium have drawn one and lost four of their last five meetings with Italy and are without Jeremy Doku and Alexis Saelemaekers for September’s international fixtures.

Only one member of the Italy squad is 30 or older and Roberto Mancini’s side look capable of a strong start to the competition. They should be backed for the win, alongside a third successive 1-0 scoreline and Pia Esposito to continue his scoring streak.

The Inter Milan youngster scored the winning goal in both June friendlies and has five goals in nine appearances for his country, while he has notched in two of his four starts this season for his club.
