• France to win (90 mins)

Odds: 10/1

France to win

France head into Thursday's clash in strong Nations League form, having gone unbeaten through their opening four matches and picked up 10 points in the process.

They were impressive in their most recent outing, winning 4-1 against Belgium, and also drew 1-1 with Italy when the sides last met in October. France have enjoyed this fixture in recent years, with Italy winning just two of the last 10 meetings between the nations. Although Italy have been scoring freely and remain dangerous opponents, France's quality and experience could give them the edge.

Michael Olise to score

Michael Olise has been one of France's standout attacking players in the Nations League so far, registering four goals and two assists in the competition already.

The winger has also impressed at club level, producing 12 goals and six assists for Bayern Munich this season. With Olise carrying real confidence in the final third, he will be looking to make another important contribution against Italy.

Francesco Esposito to score

Francesco Esposito looks like Italy's biggest attacking threat heading into Thursday's match.

The forward has scored two goals and provided one assist in four Nations League appearances so far, while he has also found the net four times for Inter this season. Italy have scored in each of their last nine meetings with France, so even against strong opposition they will believe they can find the net, with Esposito potentially playing a key role.
