Italy vs Turkey Competition – Nations League Stadium: Renato Dall’Ara Date: 5th October 2026 Kick-off time – 19:45 GMT
Italy’s rout of Turkey three weeks ago set the tone for this Group 1 rematch, with Turkey still searching for their first point when the sides meet at Renato Dall’Ara on Monday. Italy’s run has been solid, drawing 1-1 away at France in their most recent Nations League outing. Before that, a 4-1 away win over Turkey had followed a 2-0 home defeat to Belgium the game before. Further back, Italy beat Greece 1-0 away and Luxembourg 1-0 away to open the run. Across these five matches Italy have taken three wins, a draw and a loss, with the Turkey game their most emphatic scoreline.
Turkey’s run has been dire, losing 3-0 away at Belgium in their most recent outing. Before that, a 4-1 home defeat to Italy made it back-to-back heavy losses, following a 1-0 home defeat to France the game before — three straight losses. Further back, a 3-2 home win over USA preceded a 1-0 home defeat to Paraguay to open the run. Across these five matches Turkey have taken one win and four losses, with the Italy game their heaviest defeat by margin.
Italy hold a commanding record in this fixture, winning three of the last five meetings to Turkey’s none, with two draws completing the sample. The most recent meeting finished 4-1 to Italy away at Turkey just last month, their biggest win in the run. Renato Dall’Ara hasn’t hosted this fixture in the sample, but Italy have otherwise been unbeaten throughout, also winning 3-2 away in 2022 and 3-0 away in 2021, with draws in 2024 and 2006 the only blemishes.
Italy sit third in Group 1 on four points, with Turkey bottom on zero points after three defeats. A win for Turkey at Renato Dall’Ara would move them to three points, still needing goal difference to climb off the bottom.
Italy’s home clash with Turkey will be shown domestically on RAI 1 and RaiPlay, with Turkish coverage on atv, Digiturk Play, S Sport+ and TV8. UK viewers can catch it on Amazon Prime Video, and it’s also available in the US via Fox Sports 2, fuboTV, ViX and FOX One.
