Italy host France at San Siro, Milan on Thursday, Nov 12 at 8:45 PM in a top-four clash that could have significant title implications. Both sides are separated by just 3 points in the League A – Group 1, making this one of the more consequential fixtures of the season.

Italy come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 1D 1L). France, meanwhile, arrive in good form (3W 1D 0L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Despite playing at home, Italy face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. France have won 5 of 10 encounters, with 3 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 1–1 draw. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.6 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Italy a slight edge, but France are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
