Italy's sample is much smaller, just three matches. Two of those were narrow 1-0 wins away in friendlies back in June, but their last outing ended in a 2-0 home defeat to Belgium in the Nations League. That's a short run, so it's hard to read too much into it beyond the most recent scoreline.

France's numbers cover several different competitions, so they're not a pure read on their current Nations League form alone.

Comparative Team Statistics: France vs Italy

Head-to-head record

There are four meetings in the data here, though that's unlikely to cover every match these two have played. The two most recent, both in the 2024 Nations League, were each won by the away side: 3-1 to France in Italy, and 3-1 to Italy in France.

Further back, France won a 2018 friendly 3-1 at home, while Italy won 2-0 away in a Euro 2008 group match. It's not a clean home-or-away pattern across the sample, both sides have shown they can win in either country.

The last two competitive meetings both went to the away side, a small mark of encouragement for Italy given this one is in France.

Squad notes

The player data available here is limited to one match's worth of stats rather than a full squad list. Kylian Mbappé is shown as France's top scorer with a goal in that game, and Michael Olise picked up an assist. On the disciplinary side, Enzo Lepaul picked up a yellow card for France and Daniel Maldini one for Italy.

None of that tells us about squad availability for this specific fixture, so it shouldn't be read as team news in the usual sense, more a snapshot from recent matches.
