Italy vs France: Nations League preview
Any meeting between Italy and France evokes memories of some of football’s most famous matches, including the finals of Euro 2000 and World Cup 2006.
While Milan’s iconic San Siro will provide a fitting backdrop for this clash of two European heavyweights, the sad truth is that the Azzurri are a shadow of some of the great sides of years gone by and will be underdogs against Les Bleus.
That being said, manager Roberto Mancini will fancy his team’s chances of pulling off a shock win over France that would send them top of Group A1 ahead of Sunday’s finale with Belgium. The Italy boss has called up 20-year-old AC Milan winger Alphadjo Cisse, who has already scored eight goals in a breakthrough season.
France arrive at San Siro knowing a victory would seal their place in the quarter-finals as group winners before they host Turkey on Sunday.
Zinedine Zidane’s side were frustrated by Italy in last month’s return fixture, which ended 1-1 — the same scoreline as the World Cup 2006 final, when the now-Les Bleus boss was infamously sent off for headbutting Azzurri defender Marco Materazzi.
Centre back Dayot Upamecano was sent off against Italy last month but is available again after serving his ban, while Ibrahima Konate and Aurelien Tchouameni also return to the squad. However, Paris Saint-Germain star Ousmane Dembele misses out through injury.
FourFourTwo’s prediction
Italy 0-1 France
This should be another fascinating contest, but we are backing Les Bleus’ superior quality to make the difference.
