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

On November 17, the match of the 6th round of the League of Nations 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 Manchyna was able to respond to the failure of not qualifying for the 2018 World Cup with a fairly confident victory at the Euro. Then, however, Roberto failed to lead his wards to the World Cup in Qatar. There were problems with last year’s qualification as well, but Spalletta, who appeared as a coach, still got ahead of Ukraine in the dispute for the second place in the group. But in the summer in Germany, by Luciano’s own admission, the Azzurri squad failed: they beat Albinia with difficulty, drew with Croatia at the last minute, but in the first round of the playoffs, the Italians lost 0:2 to Switzerland. But in the League of Nations, they started with a victory over the French. True, they managed to misfire, at home they played 2:2 with Belgium. In the last round, he managed to rehabilitate himself, won against the Red Devils, albeit minimally. Now it’s enough just not to lose big.

France

Under Deschamps, the national team is holding the world championships magnificently. Only Emiliano Martinez and his trademark reflexes in the penalty shootout prevented him from winning the World Cup again in 2022. But in the Euro format, Le Bleus do not look so convincing. Even this autumn, playing without Griezmann, and in fact for the second month without Mbappe, we faced problems, we lost in the first match – right at home, against Italy. As a result, the Gaul roosters turned into a catch-up in the dispute for second place, thanks to the fact that they did not lose points even with strong Belgium. Against a weak debutant, Israel, they won a nominal away match 4:1 last month, in the 5th round, after long doubts and discussions, they still played. And they sensationally limited themselves to a zero draw.

Statistics of personal meetings

Before the aforementioned 1:3 in September, the French had beaten Italy three times, however, always in a friendly format.

Forecast

Bookmakers consider the pair’s chances 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 required (coefficient – 1.75).
