When the time comes for the matches of the Nations League, we look at the match schedule, which could be considered a derby. I think that the match between France and Italy will be such a duel. It will be interesting to see how these two teams face each other, considering that we have not seen them play against each other in an official match for a long time.
The Italians did not perform well at Euro 2024, being eliminated in the round of 16 by Switzerland and having problems scoring goals. However, in the Nations League so far, they have started with a goal equality, specifically with a 1:1 scoreline. Whether this will be the case in Paris remains to be seen.
In my opinion, the more interesting team, however, is France. Didier Deschamps and his boys played brilliantly at Euro 2024, but the lack of goals from open play was evident. "The Roosters" will need to solve this problem if they want to do well in the Nations League. On the other hand, it is important to note that the team looks excellent in defense. Players like Jules Kounde, William Saliba, who are performing perfectly, are present. It will be even harder for Italy to score in this match.
I think that France will win this duel, even if it happens with just one goal difference. Also, I expect that it is possible for the French to keep a clean sheet. This is due to their high class in defense, while the Italians are struggling in attack. What will happen in the match? We will find out very soon!

It was not expected that they would show low performance and in none of their last seven matches they managed to score more than once. In an attempt to bring freshness, Didier Deschamps called up two new names - Manu Kone from Roma and Michael Olise from Bayern Munich.
It seems that Italy is not up to parLately Italy obviously has not been performing very well. This was also evident at the recent European Championship, where they did not impress and were disgracefully eliminated by Switzerland in the round of 16. Now they will have a very serious test, noting also the fact that they lost their last three matches against France, even though they were friendlies.
Prediction: victory for FranceFrance did not shine at the European Championship, but then what can we say about Italy, whose performance was worse. I would definitely choose France as the winner in this match.
