Italy vs Türkiye

Italy enters this fixture with a solid record, having secured three wins and two draws across their recent competitive and friendly matches. They were held to a draw against France in their most recent outing but previously demonstrated their attacking quality by beating Türkiye four to one in late September. Conversely, Türkiye is currently struggling for momentum, having lost their last three matches including that heavy defeat to Italy. Their recent form shows five losses in their last six matches, with their last win coming against the USA in June. With no clean sheets in their latest sequence of games, they face a significant challenge to tighten up defensively against an Italian side that has proven difficult to break down.

The history between these two nations is thin, with few encounters on our record. The most recent meeting occurred on 28 September 2026, where Italy secured a decisive victory away from home.

• Italy defeated Türkiye by three goals in their previous meeting just days ago.
• Türkiye has lost three consecutive matches in the current UEFA Nations League campaign.
• Italy has remained undefeated in three of their last four matches.
• Türkiye has conceded eight goals while scoring only one in their three Nations League games.

Italy appears to be in a stronger position heading into this fixture, having recently demonstrated their superiority over the visitors in both result and performance. While Türkiye will be eager to bounce back from a difficult run of losses, the current form suggests they face a steep challenge at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara. A strong performance from the Italian side could see them maintain their momentum in the group.
