Nations League: France vs Italy Offshore Odds, Preview, and Picks (Sep 6)

European heavyweights will collide in the Nations League this week, as France and Italy lock horns at the Parc des Princes. Both nations endured miserable EURO campaigns in the summer, and the start of the Nations League will present both teams with an opportunity to get back on track.

Before Betting On France vs Italy

The first international break of the European season gets underway this week, as the Nations League kicks off. France will be among the favorites to win the tournament for a second time, but they could face an interesting challenge to top their respective group after being drawn alongside Italy and Belgium. France will be looking to get back on track after disappointing at the EUROs after failing to make the final, despite being one of the standout chances to win the competition.

The 2018 world champions stuttered throughout the tournament in Germany, winning just two of their six matches inside 90 minutes. Their campaign was ended in the semi-final stage after falling to a 2-1 defeat against Spain in Munich. However, that is only their second defeat this calendar year, having gone eight without defeat before their loss against the reigning EURO champions.

Italy will travel to Paris with huge questions to answer after slipping out of EURO contention at the round of 16 stage in Germany. It was a poor defense of their title, and they produced a no-show against the Swiss when falling to a 2-0 defeat.

Their overall form is also a concern ahead of this showdown, as they have gone three matches without a win, which includes defeats in two fixtures over that period. Their last victory was picked up in the opening round of EURO matches against Albania on June 15.

France have won their last three matches against Italy, netting eight goals in the process. That could be a trend worth following once again this week, as we prefer the chances of France to land maximum points in Paris.
