France – Italy: a big surprise to be expected in the Blues' eleven

The Nations League begins this Friday for the French team with a clash against Italy. Discover all the information about this match.

The French team is making its big comeback after its resounding defeat against Spain in the semi-final of Euro 2024 (1-2). Didier Deschamps' players would certainly like to relive its 2021 epic where it won this competition. But before looking too far ahead, the Blues must start with a victory to hope to take the lead in Group A2 where Italy, Belgium and Israel are. “Italy remains Italy. It remains one of the best European nations. There is a significant gap compared to their title in 2021, but “it is one of the best nations”, recalled the French coach.

Indeed, while Italy remains a strong footballing nation, it has lost some of its reputation in recent years. La Nazionale failed in the round of 16 of Euro 2024 after a defeat against Switzerland (0-2) and must use this Nations League to get back on track. In the Nations League, the Italians are hard to beat since in the group stage they only lost in two of their 16 matches. “After the Euro, I had a very bad summer. Everything that happens is 100% my fault. The players who were with me are not responsible,” said Italy coach Luciano Spalletti.

What are the probable line-ups for France – Italy ?

For this first gathering of the French team of the season, Didier Deschamps had to deal with a lot of forfeits. Mendy, Tchouameni and Fofana are absent and new players join the list like Badé, Koné and Olise. If the French coach could leave a few minutes to these new players including Michael Olise who could start. Kylian Mbappé who will return to his old stadium, should be a starter. He could also give a chance to a certain Bradley Barcola, in form with PSG. The probable XI of the Blues: Maignan – Clauss, Upamecano, Saliba, Hernandez – Fofana, Kanté – Kolo Muani, Olise, Barcola – Mbappé

For his part Luciano Spalletti has a more complete squad and has already announced that he wants to reshape his tactics by playing in a 3-5-2 or a 3-4-2-1. The probable Italian XI: Donnarumma – Calafiori, Bastoni, Dimarco – Di Lorenzo, Frattesi, Faggioli, Pellegrini, Zaccagni – Raspadori, Retegui.
