France

Current form
The French national team approached the start of the last Euro as one of the main favorites – together with England, the bookmakers saw the French as the most likely winners of the tournament. They were unable to fully justify this status, the “tricolors” certainly set themselves the maximum tasks, but the European Championship cannot be called a failure in any way – the semi-final is a quite decent result.

Italy

Current form
The Italian national team failed to qualify for the recent European Championship in Germany – the Italians made it to the final part of the tournament, but were one step away from once again presenting an unpleasant surprise to the fans. Luciano Spalletti's team was not included in the list of the main favorites of the Euro, which is generally not surprising, given the modest selection of players and a very young lineup even by today's standards.

Moreover, the exit did not happen in a confrontation with one of the European giants, but with the modest Swiss team, which beat the "scudra azzurra" 2:1. The coach retained his position and will continue to build a new team for the 2026 World Cup.
The coach of the Italian national team has enough problems before the matches with France and Israel - first of all, the absence of Nicolo Barella, who has health problems, may have an impact. However, Sandro Tonali and Nicolo Fagioli have returned to the national team after a long disqualification, and Mateo Retegui has been called up to replace the injured Gianluca Scamacca both at club and in the national team. Several debuts may well take place - Caleb Okolie from Leicester and Marco Brescianini from Atalanta have been called up to the national team for the first time.

Nicolo Barella and Gianluca Scamacca are injured.

Bet on the outcome
The French national team did not impress in terms of play at the Euro, but overall they are a balanced, aggressive team, capable of achieving the desired result in a confrontation with any opponent. At home, the "tricolors" will certainly play to win and it should not be difficult for them to achieve it - Italy is going through hard times and is seriously inferior in terms of player selection, and in the last three head-to-head meetings, the "squadra azzurra" lost to the French.

France will definitely strive to start a difficult group with a win and will try not to complicate their life out of the blue – the hosts have everything they need to succeed. The “tricolors” are quite capable of getting three points, as of today the Italian team does not look like an opponent capable of surprising and creating a sensation, but they are quite capable of not losing dry to the Italians, in the last four matches the “squadra azzurra” scored against the French.
The bet is France win and both teams will score. This bet is offered at 3.55
