At 02:45 a.m. Beijing time on September 7, 2024, the UEFA Nations League group stage will be a key match, and the Gallic Roosters France will face Italy, the defending European Championship losing title, at home. Who will die in this game? I'm going to give you some brief analysis of this game below.
France at home are a strong team, with superstars such as Mbappe and Antoine Griezmann playing in Europe's top five leagues. Midfielder Tchouameni, who currently plays for Real Madrid, and full-back Edouard Mendy have both withdrawn from the France national team's training squad due to injury. But that didn't have much of an impact on the luxurious France team. France were eliminated by Spain in the European Championship, but this did not affect the position of coach Didier Deschamps.
As the defending champions of the European Championship, Italy did not perform well at the European Championship in Germany. After a tough group stage, Italy were knocked out by Switzerland. Italy, which failed to defend its title, exposed the shortcomings of its declining talent. Surprisingly, the bald coach Spalletti, who led Napoli to the title, was not sacked by the Football Association because of his sluggish performance at the European Championships. He will continue to lead the Italy national team out of its current slump.
Judging from the strength of the two teams, the star-studded France team is naturally superior, while the Italy team will still belong to the France team with their best defensive counter-attack. In terms of head-to-head records, France have won their last three matches against Italy and have a clear advantage in head-to-head statistics, so this game is still optimistic that France will be undefeated at home.
