Sitting third in their UEFA Nations League group with 4 points from three matches, Italy are fully aware that a home victory here will keep their push for a top group finish well and truly alive, so their level of intensity on their familiar San Siro pitch is definitely worth close observation. Turkey, by contrast, have lost all three of their opening group games to sit at the very bottom of the standings with zero points, leaving them with barely any margin for error heading into this fixture. Facing a far more tactically polished Italian side, their immediate top priority has to be addressing the repeated defensive issues that have plagued them across their first three outings. Italy have racked up 6 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses across their last 10 outings, boasting remarkably consistent overall form. Even with two unexpected home defeats against Belgium and Norway in that stretch, they hold a clear competitive edge over Turkey. The two sides have met three times in recent history, wh

The tight points race in this UEFA Nations League group still leaves plenty of room for ranking adjustments. Italy have notched 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss across their opening three fixtures, sitting third in the group table, just three points adrift of pacesetters France, which means they still hold a realistic chance of climbing to the top spot. Turkey, by contrast, have turned in far underwhelming performances so far. They have lost all three of their group matches, scoring only a single goal while conceding 8 in total, with their glaring weaknesses on both the attacking and defensive ends of the pitch impossible to ignore. Italy have stretched their unbeaten away run to two games after holding France to a 1-1 draw on their last road trip, posting fairly consistent solid form lately. Back on home turf for this fixture, the Azzurri carry sharp competitive edge, with their lopsided 4-1 away victory over Turkey still fresh in memory to grant them a clear psychological upper hand.

Italy’s recent run of form has been far from steady, with 6 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses across their last 10 outings, as they have stumbled through a stretch of underwhelming results lately. Turkey, by contrast, have posted 5 wins and 5 losses in their last 10 fixtures, a run that has greatly lifted the whole squad’s morale. The Azzurri hold a solid home advantage, having lost only 2 of their last 8 home matches while notching 3 wins and 3 draws, and they currently sit mid-table in the group standings after a recent hard-earned victory. Turkey have shown clear upward momentum and notable improvement in recent months, even if their overall form remains a little inconsistent, and their away scoring performance has left something to be desired. The gap in overall competitiveness between the two sides is very slim, with both set to give their all on the pitch, and it remains to be seen which side can walk away with the full three points.

Levante builds a complete offensive and defensive framework at home with a 3-5-2 wing-back system. The two wing-backs are responsible for high-intensity sprints, taking into account both defensive cover in the back and offensive support in the front. They mainly rely on crosses from the flanks and aerial battles in the penalty area to create goal-scoring opportunities. The home team averages 6.2 dribbles past opponents on the flanks per game. The overall success rate of their aerial duels is 48.5%. They are also quite effective in creating chances from set-pieces in the front.
