Italy has secured a spot in the UEFA Nations League knockout stage more easily than expected, with a real chance to top the group ahead of France. Luciano Spalletti’s side is on a strong run, a big boost for the fans after their early EURO exit. The main goal remains World Cup qualification after missing the last two, and failure to make it again would be devastating for this football nation. This tournament serves as a great test and an opportunity for certain players to impress the coach.
France, meanwhile, has also reached the quarterfinals, but their form since the EURO has been less convincing. Aside from the 4-1 win over Israel, they haven’t really impressed. Deschamps needs to shake things up and prove he’s still got what it takes. The team is also gearing up for the 2026 World Cup, so while results might not be the absolute priority, winning and lifting trophies never hurts.
Italy vs France pick: ITALY TO WIN AND COVER AH 0
We’re seeing an interesting Italy, full of confidence and with fresh players who look ready to write a better chapter in the national team’s history over the coming years. Based on certain factors, this could be a tighter game with fewer goals. France is missing a few key attacking players, which might limit their efficiency, while Italy, especially at home, is a tough team to break down, relying heavily on a strong defense. In our view, Italy has a slight edge, but a smart bet here would be on AH 0, where a draw gets your money back.
