vs Prediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Group 1 of Nations League A has only just begun and both Italy and Türkiye are yet to play a match, so the standings do not reflect actual form. Italy arrive in good form: four wins, one draw and one defeat in their last six matches. Their most recent test was a 1-0 away win over Greece, preceded by another 1-0 away win over Luxembourg and, before that, a 1-1 away draw with Bosnia & Herzegovina. Türkiye arrive from the World Cup with four wins and two defeats in their last six matches: their most recent test ended in a 3-2 win over the United States, preceded by a 0-1 defeat to Paraguay and, before that, another defeat, 0-2 away to Australia. In the meetings between the two nations, the most recent, in June 2024, ended 0-0, while in the two before that Italy had won: 3-2 in March 2022 and 3-0 in June 2021, both played on the opposite ground from Monday's fixture. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
