Episode five of the Zinédine Zidane era. The France team meets Italy on Thursday, November 12, in the group stage of the Nations League. A little over a month after the draw (1-1) against Squadra Azzurra at the Stade de France, the Blues have the opportunity to validate their qualification for the quarter-finals of the competition even before the last day.

Qualification objective for the quarters. It's simple: a draw or a victory would certainly qualify the Blues for the next round of this League of Nations, while there will still be one match to play against Turkey on Sunday.

Kylian Mbappé is back. He left the first rally of the Zidane era prematurely after still scoring. The captain of the Blues is back and he should find the forefront of the attack in the absence of Ousmane Dembélé.

Open Questions

  • Who will make up the starting XI against Italy?
  • Will the result of the match against Turkey be necessary for qualification?
