Game Preview
Italy has five games in a row without a defeat, all in the UEFA Nations League. Azzurri have won four matches and had one tie, scoring two goals in every event but the most recent one was when they defeated Belgium on the road, 0-1. This was a tough one for Spalletti’s boys, yet they’ve survived.
As stated, all apart from this game were interesting and efficient. Four of those matches had both teams netting and over 2.5 hits.
France is on the rise when looking at the results as well. The Gauls aren’t defeated in four matches, having three wins and a tie, though that latter is a reason to worry. World Cup runners-up couldn’t beat Israel at home, playing 0-0.
One of the reasons why did this happen might be Kylian Mbappe’s absence. Real Madrid star is out for this international break, and the sharpness of the French attack is immediately decreased.
Italy vs. France Head to Head
Italy was better in the previous meeting in early September, once they defeated France 1-3. Hosts took the lead in the first minute of the game, but Italy responded furiously scoring three times in a row.
Italy vs. France Prediction
France needs to attack, and even though they don’t have Mbappe, we believe they are going to score. Meanwhile, Italy scores in every match, and that’s why betting on both teams scoring is our pick.
- Italy vs. France Pick: Both teams to score
