🇫🇷🇮🇹 FRANCE VS ITALY PREVIEW!
Carlo Garganese and Nima Tavallaey break down a massive tactical preview of the high-stakes UEFA Nations League Group A clash as the Azzurri travel to Paris to face Les Bleus!

The Nations League Group A Match Day 3 match between France and Italy takes place on Friday 2nd October at 20.45 CEST at Stade de France, Saint-Denis, Paris.

The guys dive deep into the probable starting lineups (XIs) and tactical adjustments, debating if Riccardo Calafiori must enter the defense and whether to keep the midfield identical or bring back Nicolò Barella.

With France missing Kylian Mbappé and many key players, they analyze the massive opportunity for the Azzurri to completely boss the midfield layout.

Plus, they break down the selection headaches out wide between Giacomo Raspadori, Moise Kean, and Nicolò Cambiaghi, discuss if Francesco Pio Esposito can realistically evolve into Italy's Harry Kane, and explain why Samuele Inacio MUST be added to the squad.

Finally, they analyze how fatigue from playing on a wet, heavy pitch against Turkey could impact the team before offering their predictions!
