Zinedine Zidane's reign as the French head coach has begun in pleasing fashion. Les Bleus started the new era with a 1-0 win over Turkey, before delivering another single-goal victory (and a clean sheet) against the Belgians. Both of those wins came on the road, where the boys in blue really did tough it out. Now for the first time under the new boss, they'll take to the field on French soil. In Paris, they'll get down to business against the Italians, who arrive in the capital off the back of a win against the Turks.
After he entered the field of play as a substitute and scored the winner for Les Bleus last time out, key man Michael Olise is expected to be back in Zinedine Zidane's starting XI, and if that's the case and odds of +200 remain on offer, the hugely exciting forward is well worth betting on to find the net for a second game on the spin.

Our France vs Italy Prediction
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out just how dangerous Michael Olise can be every time that he gets on the ball. The Bayern forward has started the season in hot form, and having scored his first national-team goal in a while against Belgium last time out, the mercurial forward will be hungry for more. Against an Italian side that has looked shaky at the back in each of the two recent Nations League games, the 24-year-old, who has scored six goals in his last five games for club and country, is worth betting on to satisfy that hunger at anything bigger than +175.
