"Gennaro Gattuso will hope his first away game as Italy manager proves as successful as his home bow following the Azzurri's 5-0 thrashing of Estonia in Bergamo, where their goals came during the second half through Moise Kean, Giacomo Raspadori, Alessandro Bastoni and two from Mateo Retegui. The result means Italy will move above second-placed Israel and three points behind group leaders Norway with a game in hand on both teams if they win the fourth match of their qualifying campaign in Debrecen."
""We have big ambitions - to win both matches," manager Ran Ben Shimon said before the game, via The Jerusalem Post. "We want to be competitive against Italy and fight for second place, as that's one of our main goals. "We're on a trajectory with players we believe are in the best form for each position, alongside players we consider key partners even if they're not in their best form or not playing much.""
Gennaro Gattuso leads Italy to Debrecen aiming for a fourth qualifying victory after a 5-0 rout of Estonia with goals from Moise Kean, Giacomo Raspadori, Alessandro Bastoni and two from Mateo Retegui. A win would place Italy above Israel and three points behind Norway with a game in hand. Mateo Retegui scored a header and a precise strike and highlighted team hunger and cohesion. Israel recorded a 4-0 win in Moldova via Dror Peretz, Manor Solomon, Tai Baribo and Oscar Gloukh and targets wins in both fixtures to contest second place. Gavriel Kanichowsky returns to Israel’s squad and could feature for the first time since the Nations League defeat in Italy. Group winners qualify directly; second-placed teams enter March 2026 play-offs.
