- 上个月意大利在贝加莫以5比0击败爱沙尼亚
- 意大利国家队在加图索的两场比赛中进了10个球
- 爱沙尼亚在过去的12场主场比赛中输掉了8场
形式意大利微风掠过爱沙尼亚
加图索是一名好斗的防守型中场球员，在担任意大利队主教练的早期，他没有表现出任何自我的迹象，带领他的国家队在世界杯预选赛对阵爱沙尼亚和以色列的首场比赛中取得了五球的成绩。
在第二场比赛中，蓝衣军团以5比4险胜以色列队，但他们以5比0轻松击败爱沙尼亚队，并希望在周六的反向比赛中能有更多的比赛。
爱沙尼亚唯一的资格赛胜利是对阵第一组鞭打男孩摩尔多瓦；一支在五场比赛中攻入25球的球队；他们看起来将在对阵意大利的另一个艰难的夜晚。
塔林惊悚片只能走一条路
主场优势通常会给双方带来提振，但由于爱沙尼亚在过去12场比赛中输掉了8场，很难看到他们对复兴的蓝衣军团有任何喜悦
加图索的激情战术从一群才华横溢的人身上得到了很多，状态良好的前锋莫伊斯·基恩和马泰奥·雷特吉得到了出色的中场球员尼科洛·巴雷拉和桑德罗·托纳利的支持，另一场高分胜利即将到来。
意大利队最近十场比赛中有六场至少进了四个球，加图索的两场比赛总共进了14个球，因此在塔林的这场比赛中支持同样的结果是有道理的。
- Italy routed Estonia 5-0 in Bergamo last month
- The Azzurri have scored ten goals in their two games under Gennaro Gattuso
- Estonia have lost eight of their last 12 home matches
In-form Italy to breeze past Estonia
A combative defensive midfielder as a player, Gennaro Gattuso has shown no signs of his previous self in the early days of his reign as Italy manager, leading his national side to five-goal hauls in World Cup qualifiers against Estonia and Israel in his opening two matches.
The Azzurri were run close in the second of those matches, narrowly beating Israel 5-4 in a thriller, but they comfortably routed Estonia 5-0 and will be hoping for more of the same in Saturday’s reverse fixture.
Estonia’s sole qualifying win has come against Group I whipping boys Moldova – a side who have shipped 25 goals in five games – and they look set for another tough evening against Italy.
Tallinn thriller will only go one way
Home advantage normally gives sides a boost but with Estonia losing eight of their last 12 matches on their own patch, it is hard to see them having any joy against the resurgent Azzurri.
Gattuso’s gung-ho tactics are getting plenty out of a talented bunch, with in-form forwards Moise Kean and Mateo Retegui supported by brilliant midfielders Nicolo Barella and Sandro Tonali, with another high-scoring victory on the horizon.
Six of Italy’s last ten matches have featured at least four goals and with Gattuso’s two games produced a total of 14, it makes sense to back the same outcome for this Tallinn clash.
