Estonia Preview and News
Football is not the biggest sport in Estonia, so we can say that their national team has not had much success. The Blueshirts have never qualified for a big tournament in their history, and it doesn’t seem like it’s going to happen anytime soon.
At this moment, Estonia occupies 4th place in Group I of the qualifiers with three points, which they secured against Moldova in the second round. As we said, their first fixture against Italy didn’t end well – the Azzurri celebrated a heavy 5-0 win in Bergamo.
Most of Estonia’s players are currently unknown to the general public. There are many players who are playing abroad, but not on the highest level. Their best goalscorer at the moment is the 29-year-old striker Rauno Sappinen – a player with 13 goals for the national team.
Italy Preview and News
Since replacing Luciano Spalletti, Italy’s new manager Gennaro Gattuso secured two consecutive wins in the World Cup qualifying campaign against Estonia and Israel. It’s interesting that his team scored 9 goals in those two matches. But they also conceded four times against Israel – something a bit worrying for the coaches.
Gennaro Gattuso called five debutants for the upcoming games against Estonia and Israel. Bologna’s Niccolò Cambiaghi, Fiorentina’s Roberto Piccoli and Hans Nicolussi Caviglia, AC Milan’s Matteo Gabbia and Atalanta’s Marco Carnesecchi. It remains to be seen how many of them will make their official debuts for the Azzurri.
Moise Kean is expected to lead Italy’s attack once again. Fiorentina’s star scored twice during the 5-4 win against Israel in September. Although Kean didn’t start the new Serie A season in the best way possible, he remains a vital player for the manager. Giacomo Raspadori is another player you have to keep an eye on – he also scored against Israel in the last game.
Head-to-Head Matches
Italy have a total advantage in the head-to-head games against Estonia. From eight matches played, the Azzurri have won all eight against this opponent.
Estonia vs Italy Betting Preview
Italy is a total favourite to secure the three points against Estonia in Tallinn. So far, Gennaro Gattuso has been perfect since becoming the head coach of the national team. And Estonia do not look like a team that could trouble them. At the same time, Italy have to be on their toes here – conceding four times against Israel was a red lamp.
