The 2024-2025 UEFA Nations League group stage will conclude after the epic clash between Italy and France in Milan.
This game is little more than a formality as both teams have already secured their place in the quarter-finals. A 3-1 win over France in September saw the Azzurri virtually assured of top spot in Group A2. Les Blues will need to win by three or more goals to dethrone Italy.
Luciano Spalletti's men put in a commendable performance in their most recent match against Belgium. Their journey in the Nations League has been impressive so far. Their high spirits will give them confidence when they welcome France to Milan.
Although France have also secured a place in the next round, their home turf is in trouble. After speculation over captain Kylian Mbappe's absence, coach Didier Deschamps' side were held to a disappointing 0-0 draw by bottom-placed Israel.
However, with the team having achieved their goals, it is understandable that they would rotate the squad and prioritise avoiding injuries. Perhaps the younger players will be given a chance in the match in Italy.
