The two football superpowers will meet for the 38th time in history. The "Azzuri" have more success, but in recent years the "Gallic Roosters" have been more dominant, with three consecutive victories. The French won the penultimate edition of the League of Nations, while the Italians' greatest successes are two third places. However, the last edition was not very successful for the vice-champions of the world, who barely avoided relegation to division B at the last minute, and were saved by Croatia with a victory over Austria in the last round.On the other hand, the quality of the Italian national team has been declining in recent years, and the only bright spots for the "Azure" are the title of European champion in 2021 and the last two editions of the League of Nations in which they won bronze medals. However, they hoped that in 2021, on their home turf and as the current champions of Europe, they would win this title as well.

They ended their title defence at the European Championship this year already in the round of 16, and their absence from two consecutive world championships has lasted for a full decade, so not playing in North America would be a national disaster of epic proportions.In addition, Spalletti's side enter this crucial clash with confidence shaken, having gone without a win in their last three games (one draw and two defeats), following a 2-1 comeback win over Albania in their EURO 2024 opener. Their attacking performance is of particular concern, they scored only one goal in the previous three matches.At the same time, in the last three duels with today's rival, they recorded three smooth defeats, with a goal difference of 3-8. However, those were friendly matches, while the last competitive meeting belonged to the "Azures", although it was more than 16 years ago at Euro 2008.It is interesting that Tonali has never lost an away game in his representative career, so Spalletti may have called him because of that "witchcraft". But in reality I expect France to win without too many problems as right now I rate them as much better team

这两个足球超级大国将在历史上第38次相遇。“Azzuri”取得了更多的成功，但近年来“高卢雄鸡”已经取得了三连胜，占据了统治地位。法国队赢得了国际联盟的倒数第二名，而意大利队最大的成功是两次获得第三名。然而，对于世界副冠军来说，上一届世界杯并不是很成功，他们在最后一刻险些被降级到乙级，最后一轮被克罗地亚击败奥地利拯救。另一方面，近年来意大利国家队的水平一直在下降，“天蓝色”队唯一的亮点是2021年的欧洲冠军头衔和最近两届获得铜牌的国际联盟。然而，他们希望在2021年，在他们的主场，作为目前的欧洲冠军，他们也能赢得这个冠军。

他们在今年的欧洲杯上已经在16强结束了他们的卫冕，他们连续两届世锦赛的缺席已经持续了整整十年，所以不参加北美比赛将是一个史诗级的国家灾难。此外，斯帕莱蒂的球队带着动摇的信心进入这场关键的比赛，他们在过去的三场比赛中一胜未得(一平两负)，此前他们在2024年欧洲杯首战中以2-1逆转战胜阿尔巴尼亚。他们的进攻表现尤其令人关注，他们在前三场比赛中只进了一个球。与此同时，在与今天的对手的最后三场对决中，他们以3-8的净胜球三次惨败。然而，这些都是友谊赛，而上一次正式比赛的相遇属于“蓝色军团”，尽管那是在16年前的2008年欧洲杯上。有趣的是，托纳利在他的代表生涯中从未输过一场客场比赛，所以斯帕莱蒂可能因为他的“巫术”而称呼他。但实际上，我希望法国队能在没有太多问题的情况下获胜，因为现在我认为他们是一支更好的球队
