With just one game remaining, Group A2 is Italy's to lose after their midweek victory over Belgium in Brussels. Sandro Tonali scored after just 11 minutes – the Newcastle midfielder's first goal for his country – and could've had another just before the break, but his early tap-in was enough to secure a crucial three points for Luciano Spalletti's side.
After a goalless draw with Israel on Thursday night, France must beat Italy and overcome a three-goal deficit in order to snatch first place away from their southern neighbours. Both teams have already qualified for the Nations League quarterfinals in March, so it's mainly pride that's on the line rather than anything more significant, but Didier Deschamps' side will still want to end the group stage with a win.
