Bet on a draw
France are the stronger team. However, the defensive Italy will be boosted by the fact that they will be playing this game at home. Italy will also play confidently in this game given that they will be aware that France are without the presence of key man and captain Kylian Mbappe who has been left out of the France squad for unknown reasons.
The game will be tight. France will have the bulk of possession but Italy’s strong defence will mean that it will even be difficult for the French to carve upon opportunities in this game. Both teams will cancel each other out in terms of errors and there is a strong chance that this game will end in a draw.
Bet on the game to end 1-1
Italy claimed a 3-1 win when the teams last met in France in September. However, Didier Deschamp’s side can be expected to have learnt from their mistakes and to come out stronger in this game. France are very rarely prevented from scoring at least once. They have perhaps the best strength in depth in world football even though they will be without the presence of captain and key man Mbappe for this game. At the same time, Italy will show no fear in this game. They will defend in high numbers and may find a goal against the run of play in this game. It’s safe to say that this game may well end in a 1-1 draw.
Bet on both teams to score
Both teams will be content to play according to their natural philosophy. Italy will defend strongly and focus upon capitalizing upon French defensive errors. France will play free-flowing attacking football. There is a strong chance that both teams will score in this game based upon this.
