France vs Italy Prediction: 6/9/2024

Italy’s supporters might be feeling quite disheartened as their team has managed to gather only one point from the last possible 33, highlighting their recent struggles. On the other hand, France, excluding playoff games, has secured nine victories in their last 14 home matches at this level, positioning them as likely candidates for another win.

The last two encounters between France and Italy in the playoffs each featured fewer than 2.5 goals. This trend of low-scoring games continues for France, which has participated in seven straight matches where few goals were scored. Similarly, Italy’s recent away games have also tended to be low-scoring, with seven out of their last ten away matches producing no more than two goals, suggesting that a high-scoring game is unlikely.

Recent matches in France have rarely seen goals from both teams, with only four out of their last 20 home games ending without a clean sheet. Similarly, both teams have scored in just two of Italy’s ten away games this season, making it unlikely for this pattern to change in the upcoming match.

 

Prediction

Despite the lack of atmosphere at their home stadium, France has continued to perform well, achieving four consecutive victories in front of their fans in the UEFA Nations League. Italy, with their poor travel record of nine losses in 18 top-tier away games and only one win, is expected to face challenges.

Prediction: France 1 : 0 Italy
