Italy – France. Forecast and announcement for the League of Nations match

On November 17, the match of the 6th round of the Nations League will be held at Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro), in which the Italian national team will meet the French national team. The match will start at 21:45 Kyiv time.

Italy

The team under Manchin was able to respond to the failure of not qualifying for the 2018 World Cup with a fairly confident victory at the Euro. Then Roberto failed to lead his wards to the World Cup in Qatar. There were problems with last year’s qualification as well, but the one who appeared in Spalletti’s coaching position did overtake Ukraine in the dispute for the second place in the group. But in the summer in Germany, by the admission of Luciano himself, Squadra Azurra failed: they barely beat Albinia, literally at the last moment they drew with Croatia, but in the first round of the playoffs the Italians lost 0:2 to Switzerland. Instead, they started the League of Nations with a victory over the French. However, they managed to misfire, drawing 2:2 with Belgium at home. In the last round, they managed to rehabilitate themselves, winning against the Red Devils, albeit minimally. Now it’s enough just not to lose.

France

The national team is doing well under Deschamps at the world championships. Only Emiliano Martinez and his trademark reflexes in the penalty shootout prevented them from winning the World Cup again in 2022. But in the Euro format, Le Bleus do not look so convincing. And this fall, playing without Griezmann, and in fact for the second month without Mbappe, they faced problems, losing in the very first match – at home against Italy. As a result, the Gauls turned into a catch-up in the dispute for second place, thanks to which they did not drop points even against strong Belgium. Against a weak debutant, Israel, after winning a nominal away match 4:1 last month, in the 5th round, after long doubts and discussions, they did play. And they sensationally limited themselves to a zero draw.

Statistics of personal meetings

Before the mentioned 1:3 in September, the French defeated Italy three times, however, always in a friendly format.

Forecast

Bookmakers consider the pair’s odds as equal. But a draw is enough for the hosts here – a great scenario for the pragmatic Squadra Azzurri. The guests also do not play spectacularly, so a total of less than 2.5 goals is suggested (coefficient – 1.75).
