Our prediction for the match France vs Italy
“Les Bleus”, as the vice-champion of the world, is rightfully considered one of the strongest teams. Generally speaking, it confirmed this in last year’s qualification, taking 22 points in 8 games (only once it allowed the opponent to take a draw). “Squadra Azzurra” took 2nd place in the group in 2023 with some difficulty – the team lost both matches to England and overtook Ukraine only on additional indicators, having played with them to a draw in the last round of qualification.
By and large, both teams disappointed at the Euro. The French by practically not scoring from play, although it should be remembered that Mbappé’s jaw was broken in the 1st round. The Italians, with great difficulty, having snatched a draw with the Croatians in the third match, reached the 1/8 finals. Still, they were confidently dismantled by Switzerland there – 0-2.
Both coaches retained their positions. Benzema has finally ended his international career, and Giroud has put an end to this due to the fact that Deschamps remains. Immobile has not been invited for a year, since last autumn. Moreover, Spalletti has updated the squad by about a third, although there are a minimum of debutants.

“Squadra Azzurra” is clearly not the same as it was a couple of years ago. Mbappé and the company should beat the opponent on the native field (odd: 1.77).
