France vs Italy Prediction
France Form
Judging by their last three matches, we can expect a bit of everything from France at the moment. Against Belgium, they came out on top in a 1-0 win, before drawing 0-0 against Portugal. Most recently, they were left reeling in a 2-1 defeat against Spain. France won three of their previous six internationals. They drew two and lost one, scoring nine goals to six against.
Italy Form
In their past three games, Italy lost 1-0 against Spain, drew 1-1 with Croatia, and lost 2-0 against Switzerland. Italy claimed two wins against two draws and two defeats in their last six internationals. The scoreline from these matches reads five goals conceded and four scored.
France and Italy are mostly leaning towards matches shy on goals, as it seems that not conceding is more important than attempting to score. This indicates a close encounter is on the menu on Friday.
