Italy have three wins, a draw and a defeat from their last five, scoring nine and conceding five. The latest was a 3-1 home win over Turkey in October, three days after a 1-1 draw in France. Before that, they won 4-1 in Turkey and lost 2-0 at home to Belgium in the Nations League, while the oldest result is a 1-0 friendly win in Greece in June. Italy are unbeaten in their last three games.
France’s 4-1 home win over Belgium in October was their third win in four Nations League games. Three days earlier they drew 1-1 at home with Italy, and before that they won 1-0 in Belgium and 1-0 in Turkey. The oldest result in the sample is a 6-4 defeat to England at the World Cup in July. That makes three wins, a draw and a defeat, with 11 goals scored and eight conceded, and France kept clean sheets in two of their four Nations League games.
France have the edge in recent meetings, with three wins to Italy’s one and one draw. The most recent was the 1-1 draw in France in October.

Italy have lost both of their home meetings in the sample, a record they will hope to improve at San Siro.
France lead Group 1 on 10 points from four games, three ahead of second-placed Italy on seven. An Italy win would take them to 10 points, level with France, while a France win would lift them to 13 and six points clear of Italy.
