✅ Stats BEFORE the Game
France and Italy are facing off for the 42nd time. Additionally, Italy has secured 19 victories against France (10 draws, 12 losses), and only against Switzerland (29) have the Azzurri achieved more wins.
Stats Favoring France. Italy has won just two of their last 15 matches against France (4 draws, 9 losses); to be more specific, the Azzurri have lost four of their five most recent games against les Bleus (1 win). Will Italy change this trend and grab an away victory?
None of the last six clashes between France and Italy ended in a draw (two wins for the Azzurri and four for les Bleus), whereas four of the previous six matches between these two nations finished level (with two French victories rounding out the record).
Italy won their last away trip to France (3-1 on September 6, 2024 in the UEFA Nations League in Paris); only once have the Azzurri managed back-to-back away victories against les Bleus: between 1948 and 1954 (both friendly matches in that case).
