France vs Italy: France to Win
UEFA Nations League · 2 October 2026 · Kick-off 18:45 UTC / 21:45 Israel time.
France enter this meeting with six points after consecutive 1–0 wins over Türkiye and Belgium. Italy recovered from a 2–0 defeat by Belgium with a 4–1 win over Türkiye. France’s two clean sheets provide the clearest reason to favour the hosts, although two matches are a small sample.
Our selection is France to win in normal time. Their controlled start makes the outright win preferable to demanding a large winning margin. Italy’s four-goal response shows why the favourite should not be treated as a certainty: if Italy score first, France may have to take risks against a dangerous opponent.
