Italy Vs France Preview
Having replaced Gennaro Gattuso after the AC Milan legend failed to deliver a 2026 World Cup berth, Roberto Mancini saw Italy lose 2-0 to Belgium on his return to the Azzurri international hotseat on MD1. However, the Euro 2020 victor has since gone on to beat Turkey home and away while also earning a hard-fought point in Paris.
As for France, recently appointed boss Zinedine Zidane will be aiming to clinch a semi-final spot with victory in Milan. He likely won’t receive a warm reception after his 2006 World Cup final antics against’s Thursday’s opponents, but Les Bleus legend has picked up 10 points from a possible 12 and is on track for UNL glory.

The Roberto Mancini revolution part 2 is in full swing from Italy’s perspective but injuries to key players will be unlikely to help their cause against a France side who look to have gotten over their World Cup heartache with minimal fuss. Even without Kylian Mbappe, Les Bleus have enough about them to claim a win and therefore, top spot.
