Italy vs France Tips, Predictions & Latest Odds
Italy host France at the San Siro on Thursday night in the Nations League, so here are our picks for the game, part of today's football betting tips.
France lead Group A1 on 10 points, three clear of Italy, so a draw would take them to the quarter-finals and a win would secure top spot.
The first meeting in Paris finished 1-1, with Michael Olise scoring for France and Alessandro Bastoni for Italy.
France are without Marcus Thuram, Pierre Kalulu, William Saliba and Ousmane Dembele, while Kylian Mbappe is expected back.
Italy are missing Moise Kean, Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Giacomo Raspadori and Gianluca Mancini.
Italy vs France Tips
Here are our tips for Thursday's Nations League game, along with the best free bets to use on them, and you can find more booking picks in our card betting tips.
Tip 1: Rayan Cherki to score a goal
Cherki has five goals in nine Premier League games for Manchester City this season, 0.8 per 90, with 39% of his shots on target.
Italy have conceded five goals in four group games, but he has scored only once in four Nations League games for France, so the 4/1 depends on him carrying his club form over.
Tip 2: Nicolo Barella to be shown a card
Barella has two yellow cards in 842 Serie A minutes this season and is set to start in a midfield that has to deal with France's quick forwards.
Italy were booked four times in the 1-1 in Paris, though Barella was not one of them, so this is a price on his role rather than a record.
Tip 3: Sebastiano Esposito to score a goal
Esposito has two goals in 13 games for Sassuolo this season, including one against Juventus, and he is expected to start alongside Pio Esposito.
France are without Kalulu in defence, but only three of his 10 shots this season have been on target, so 7/2 is a speculative punt.
