Preview
Germany head into this after a 1-1 draw against Hungary away from home in their previous Nations League clash on Saturday.
Nagy and Hofmann scored for either side to ensure a share of spoils due to which Germany has now gone on a four-match winless run since their win over Israel in March.
The point leaves Germany in 3rd place on the group table with 3 points from as many matches having drawn all three of them. Hence, they have no choice but to get maximum points here.
On the other hand, Italy played out a goalless draw away to England in their previous match on Saturday.
However, they remain top of the group with 5 points from 3 matches and eye progress with another good performance.
Given the visitors don’t have WC Commitments, they could use this as the perfect chance to gain momentum.
Both sides met on MD 1 in the Nations League earlier this month, where it finished 1-1 in Italy.

Prediction: Germany 1-2 Italy
The hosts have been poor as per their standards having not won in their last 4 matches.
Meanwhile; Italy has shown improvement but are still inconsistent. However, they are top of the group.
We see a quality contest and edgy battle take place with Italy nicking this one by the odd goal.
Azzurri are slightly more sharper in this tournament and should capitalize on the advantage.
