🇮🇹👉  Italy’s Head Coach, Luciano Spalletti, has announced the squad for the initial two qualifiers of the 2026 World Cup against Norway and Moldova. The first match will take place in Oslo against Norway on Friday, June 6, 2025. The second match is scheduled in Reggio Emilia against Moldova on Monday, June 9. The Azzurri are set to hit the field for their first two games in Group I, which also features Estonia and Israel.

A core group of 21 players is set to gather at the Federal Technical Centre in Coverciano on Saturday, May 31. The other six players – Inter’s Acerbi, Barella, Bastoni, Dimarco, and Frattesi, along with Paris Saint-Germain’s goalkeeper Donnarumma – will join the team on the evening of Monday, June 2, following the Champions League final.

Also making a comeback are Riccardo Orsolini, who was last called up in June 2024, and Francesco Acerbi, who hasn’t played since March 2024. Included in the selection are four players who recently celebrated a title-winning season with Napoli: Meret, Buongiorno, Di Lorenzo, and Raspadori, along with two Europa League champions from Tottenham, Guglielmo Vicario and Destiny Udogie.

✅    NORWAY VS. ITALY Background

Italy is set to begin their 2026 World Cup qualifying journey – the final tournament will take place in Canada, Mexico, and the United States – at the Ullevaal Stadion in Oslo on Friday, June 6. Their rivals, Norway, have already secured six points from their initial two matches. The two nations have faced each other 17 times in the past: Italy has achieved ten victories, while Norway has three, with four matches ending in a draw. This encounter marks their first meeting in almost ten years – since October 13, 2015 – when the Azzurri rallied to win 2-1 at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, thanks to goals from Florenzi and Pellè during a Euro 2016 qualifier.

 ✅  ITALY VS. MOLDOVA background

On Monday, June 9, Italy will make a return to the Stadio Città del Tricolore in Reggio Emilia, nearly four years after their last match there – a 5-0 victory against Lithuania on September 8, 2021. Italy will face Moldova and will be playing for the fifth time in this city, which has turned into a stronghold for the national team. In their four previous matches in Reggio Emilia, the Azzurri have emerged victorious each time, netting twelve goals without conceding any. The first and most recent matches held there were both against Lithuania, resulting in wins of 4-0 (November 1995, Euro qualifying) and 5-0 (September 2021, World Cup qualifying). In between, they also secured victories over Israel (1-0, September 2017) in World Cup qualifying and Poland (2-0, November 2020) during the UEFA Nations League group stage.

✅   What’s happening in Round 38?

HERE IS THE SITUATION: 

Napoli 2 – 0 Cagliari.  Napoli secure their 4th Scudetto in history, following their victories in the 1986/87, 1989/90, and 2022/23 seasons. Up to now, no team from central-southern Italy has won the tricolor more than three times (Roma has also won three). Napoli just needs to win this game to claim the Scudetto, reaching a total of 82 points. McTominay’s stunning overhead kick in the 42nd minute, along with Romelu Lukaku’s physical prowess in the 51st minute, secured a 2-0 victory over Cagliari, bringing immense joy to the entire nation: the Scudetto.

Buy Serie A tickets

Como 0 – 2 Inter.  Inter defeated Como at the Giuseppe Sinigaglia Stadium.  After Stefan De Vrij scored and unlocked the game, the match became a breeze. The doubling felt almost like a joke: while Joaquín Correa was sealing the deal, in Naples, the former Romelu Lukaku netted the 2-0 that practically secured the Scudetto for Conte and his squad.

Bologna 1 – 3 Genoa. Bologna wraps up its championship with 62 points, securing a spot in the next Europa League due to their Coppa Italia victory. On the other hand, Genoa ends the season in thirteenth place with 43 points.  A flawless first half is sufficient for Genoa to triumph over Bologna. The hosts respond in the second half with their reliable player, Riccardo Orsolini, but it falls short. Lorenzo Venturino’s brace and Vitinha’s goal provide a fantastic finish for Vieira’s squad.

AC Milan 2 – 0 Monza.  Milan beat Monza with goals by Matteo Gabbia and João Félix.  A disappointing season wraps up for AC Milan, who will miss out on European Cups next year. This is the first time since the 2019-2020 season that this has occurred, although back then it was due to their expulsion from the Cups for not adhering to Financial Fair Play regulations. The stakes are high for Milan. Perhaps this will be a season of renewal for them, as they focus solely on the league. Similar to Napoli, who took advantage of this situation to triumph over Inter in the Scudetto race.

Atalanta 2 – 3 Parma.  Atalanta finishes the season in third place, securing a spot in the Champions League. Parma ends up fifth from the bottom with 36 points.  Atalanta were ahead wit  Daniel Maldini scoring a brace in the 32nd and 33rd minute.  Parma manages to turn the game around and saves themselves.  Christian Chivu’s squad enters the second half fiercely and quickly finds a glimmer of hope with the new player Antoine Hainaut (’49), who believes in the play and unleashes an unstoppable shot past Carnesecchi. Both teams create many opportunities, but it is the yellow and blues who equalize, thanks to another newcomer, Ondrejka. The Swede, in the 71st minute, is assisted by Bonny and scores against Carnesecchi. Ondrejka misses a chance to take the lead but in the 91st minute, he nets the goal for 3-2, assisted by Bernabé.

Venezia 2 – 3 Juventus. The Bianconeri had their fate in their own hands, yet they fought hard for qualification until the very end. Captain Manuel Locatelli crucial penalty carries Juventus on his shoulders, leading them to the Champions League.  Venezia, sadly, relegated to Serie B. Locatelli steps up and secures Juventus’ fourth place. It was a fantastic performance from the man who represents this Juve, highlighted by a goal that at least preserves their dignity in a challenging season. He battles, takes on significant responsibility, and then celebrates with his fans.  The match begins poorly for Juventus, with Fila scoring just two minutes in. Unable to respond with their usual play, they rely on individual brilliance, particularly from Yildiz, who levels the score. Then Kolo Muani nets the goal that puts them ahead. In the second half, Juve appears to be in control, but at a crucial moment, they allow Haps to equalize, with the defense caught off guard. All their plans unravel, and a mistake by Nicolussi Caviglia on Conceicao tips the scales.

 Empoli 1 – 2 Hellas Verona. Empoli wraps up the season in third-last position with 31 points, trailing Lecce by three points after they defeated Lazio tonight at the Olimpico. Verona climbs to 37 points, leaving Cagliari behind and finishing in 14th place. Hellas secures a victory in Empoli, ensuring their survival while simultaneously relegating their opponents to Serie B. Bradaric breaks the deadlock after the first half ended 1-1, scoring with a close-range header from Tchatchoua’s assist.  Empoli’s drop to Serie B marked a notable moment in the 2024/25 Serie A season. The club, under the leadership of president Fabrizio Corsi, conveyed their disappointment while also showing a strong resolve to rebuild and progress. Unfortunately, the team’s performance in the closing matches of the season fell short of what was needed to maintain their position in Serie A, resulting in their relegation after four straight years in the top division.

Lazio 0 – 1 Lecce.  Lazio only needed a single point to secure their place in Europe, but instead, the home loss to Lecce, combined with Fiorentina’s win in Udine, leaves Baroni’s team without any cup competitions this season. It’s a complete mockery; Coulibaly rescues Giampaolo from Serie B, while the worst-case scenario unfolds for the Biancocelesti in front of a stunned crowd at the Olimpico. The match ends with nothing but boos, despite Lazio playing with eleven against ten for an entire half after Pierotti received a red card (double yellow) during first-half stoppage time. Baroni’s squad gives it their all, launching a full-on assault, with Pedro and Castellanos coming close to scoring multiple times, but Lecce’s defense holds strong, allowing the Salento team to triumph at the Olimpico and secure three crucial points for their survival. For Lazio, the season concludes in the most disappointing manner, especially as they finish the match with ten players after Romagnoli’s red card (for putting his hands on the linesman during a moment of frustration).

Torino 0 – 2 AS Roma. Roma concluded the season on a high note. For their performance, for the points they accumulated, and for their unwavering belief. They came so close, and the disappointed expressions of the players tonight in Turin reflect the remarkable achievement of a team that endured 10 grueling months. Mourinho was let go in January, De Rossi in September, and Juric in November. When Ranieri took over, Roma was deep in a relegation struggle, yet tonight they found themselves competing in the Champions League for an extended period. Although they fell short, today, three years after that unforgettable night in Tirana, there is a hint of hope. They will still participate in the Europa League, as Budapest awaits, eager for retribution.  Roma triumphed in Turin with a score of 2-0, thanks to a penalty from Paredes and a goal from Saelemaekers.

Udinese 2 – 3 Fiorentina.  Fiorentina made a remarkable comeback against Udinese.  Lorenzo Lucca opened the scoring, taking advantage of Udinese being down to 10 players after Bijol received a double yellow card. Fagioli netted the equalizer, and Comuzzo celebrated his first Serie A goal with a stylish backheel, but Kabasele quickly responded with a header. Ultimately, it was Moise Kean who proved to be the game-changer: his goal secured a spot in Europe.

Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Genoa, 13th position with 40 points and a negative goal difference of -14
Bologna, 8th position with 62 points and a positive goal difference of +12

Bologna FC lost to Genoa CFC in the Serie A Week 38 match on Saturday, May 24, 2025, at the Renato Dall’Ara Stadium in Bologna, Italy.  Bologna wraps up its championship with 62 points, securing a spot in the next Europa League due to their Coppa Italia victory. On the other hand, Genoa ends the season in thirteenth place with 43 points.

A flawless first half is sufficient for Genoa to triumph over Bologna. The hosts respond in the second half with their reliable player, Riccardo Orsolini, but it falls short. Lorenzo Venturino’s brace and Vitinha’s goal provide a fantastic finish for Vieira’s squad.

The game…

In the 18th minute, Vítinha scores for Genoa with a right-footed shot into the bottom left corner. Aarón Martín provides the assist with a cross after a corner given away by Nicolò Casale. Once again, Martín assists, this time from a corner, locating Vitinha, who skillfully controls the ball and finishes with a right-footed shot.

Genoa is fired up! In the 26th minute, Lorenzo Venturino found the net with a right-footed shot aimed at the bottom left corner. The young Grifone striker takes charge and, after a brilliant run with the ball, successfully outsmarts goalkeeper Ravaglia with a skillfully executed right-footed cross shot.

Speaking of inspiration! At the 43rd minute, Lorenzo Venturino netted a goal with a right-footed shot to the bottom left corner. Vítinha provided the assist. Once again, Vitinha showcases his brilliance by getting past Casale and sending a wonderful ball to Venturino, who cleverly anticipates Holm and scores.

Bologna closed the gap in the 64th minute. Riccardo Orsolini found the net with a left-footed strike aimed at the upper center of the goal. The assist came from Nicolò Casale. It was a magnificent goal from the rossoblù winger, who controlled the ball with his chest before volleying it with his left foot, leaving the unsuspecting goalkeeper Daniele Sommariva with no chance.

Stats before the game:

Bologna has managed to win only one of their last 11 Serie A encounters with Genoa (D5 L5); since the 2018/19 season, they have recorded fewer victories only against Juventus (D6 L8) and Benevento (D1 L1).

Bologna has faced defeats in their last two Serie A matches, allowing a total of six goals, which is equal to the number they conceded in their previous nine matches in the league; they haven’t lost three consecutive league games since January 2022.

In 2025, Bologna has remained unbeaten at home in the league, achieving seven wins and three draws for a total of 24 points; only Roma (26 points) have performed better than the Emilians in the current calendar year.

Genoa has suffered four losses in their last five league matches (D1), matching the number of defeats they had in their previous 15 matches in the competition (W6 L5); the Ligurians could end up with just one point or fewer in their last six Serie A games of the season for the first time since 1991/92 (which would result in six defeats).

Genoa has not won any of their last 10 away league matches (D5 L5); this is their worst performance under a single coach in Serie A since the period from October 2009 to April 2010 (12 away games without a win under Gian Piero Gasperini during that time).

Player Stats:

Riccardo Orsolini has scored 14 goals in this season, including two in the last two matches; the Bologna player has already netted in three consecutive games this season (four between October and November) and could be the first Rossoblù to hit 15 goals in a single Serie A season since Marco Di Vaio in 2010/11 (19).

Aarón Martín has provided seven assists this season, with the last Genoa player to do better being Andrea Bertolacci in 2014/15 (eight); additionally, the Rossoblù player has made a winning pass in each of his last three appearances, and the last player from Liguria to achieve this for four consecutive matches was Rodrigo Palacio between May and September 2011, spanning two seasons.

Andrea Pinamonti, who scored a brace in the last match, bringing his total to 10 goals this season, could become the first Italian to exceed 10 goals in three of the last four Serie A seasons; considering all nationalities, only Lautaro Martínez, Olivier Giroud, Victor Osimhen, and Ademola Lookman have accomplished this.
