Didier Deschamps has been at the helm of the French national team for over 12 years, leading France to victories in the 2018 World Cup and the 2021 Nations League. Despite some criticism of France's pragmatic and defensive style under Deschamps, his results have kept him in charge, including a semifinal appearance at the 2024 EURO. Deschamps will continue to guide the team into the next World Cup cycle with few major changes. Key squad adjustments include the dropping of Adrien Rabiot and Benjamin Pavard, while new talents like Michael Oliseh, Manu Kone, and Loic Bade are stepping in. However, Deschamps remains largely committed to his core players, with young stars like PSG's Zaire-Emery pushing for more playing time. Injuries, including those to Eduardo Camavinga, Lucas Hernandez, and Khephren Thuram, are affecting squad depth but are not expected to drastically alter the team’s strategy. Meanwhile, Italy, under Luciano Spalletti, barely scraped through the group stages at the 2024 EURO before being eliminated by Switzerland in the round of 16. Despite this disappointing performance, Spalletti has been given more time to rebuild the squad and make tactical adjustments. Italy has shown solid form in the Nations League, reaching the semifinals in the last two editions, but faces stiff competition in their group this year with France, Belgium, and Israel. Spalletti has made eight changes to his squad, with players like Jorginho and Gianluca Mancini missing, along with injured stars Scamacca and Barella. Young talents like Marco Brescianini and Caleb Okoli have been called up, while Moise Kean, Udogie, and Sandro Tonali return to the team. Italy's squad overhaul and recent struggles suggest they may find it challenging to beat a well-drilled French side in their upcoming Nations League clash. France is favored to win, with their strong squad and home advantage, while Italy may need time to adjust under Spalletti’s new direction.

迪迪埃·德尚已经执掌法国国家队超过12年，带领法国在2018年世界杯和2021年国家联赛中取得胜利。尽管有人批评德尚治下的法国队务实和防守风格，但他的成绩让他继续执教，包括进入2024年欧洲杯的半决赛。德尚将继续带领球队进入下一届世界杯，不会有什么大的变化。关键的阵容调整包括拉比奥和帕瓦德的离开，而像迈克尔·奥利塞、马努·科恩和洛伊克·巴德这样的新天才的加入。然而，德尚仍然主要致力于他的核心球员，像巴黎圣日耳曼的扎伊尔-埃梅里这样的年轻球星正在争取更多的上场时间。包括卡马文加、埃尔南德斯和图拉姆在内的伤病影响了球队的阵容深度，但预计不会彻底改变球队的战术。与此同时，在卢西亚诺·斯帕莱蒂(Luciano Spalletti)的带领下，意大利在2024年欧洲杯小组赛中勉强出线，在16强被瑞士队淘汰。尽管表现令人失望，斯帕莱蒂得到了更多的时间来重建球队并进行战术调整。意大利在国际联赛中表现稳定，在过去的两届比赛中都进入了半决赛，但今年他们将面临与法国、比利时和以色列的激烈竞争。斯帕莱蒂对球队进行了8次调整，若日尼奥和曼奇尼缺阵，还有受伤的球星斯卡马卡和巴雷拉。年轻的天才球员如布雷西亚尼尼和卡莱布·奥科利已经被征召，而莫伊斯·基恩、乌多吉和桑德罗·托纳利也回归了球队。意大利队的阵容调整和最近的挣扎表明，他们可能会发现在即将到来的国家联赛中击败训练有素的法国队是一个挑战。凭借强大的阵容和主场优势，法国队有望获胜，而意大利可能需要时间在斯帕莱蒂的新领导下进行调整。
