Our pre-match preview
Expect a measured start from both sides as they test each other's shape, with France likely to hold more of the ball and push wide to create chances. Italy should stay compact and look to strike on the break, so the tempo may rise in spells rather than stay constant.
The key battle will be in central midfield, where France's ability to keep possession meets Italy's pressing and counter-attacking habits. Whichever side wins that contest in the middle third will likely control the shape of the game.
