Italy to win

The match will be played in Italy, so home advantage is also important for this match.

Despite that, according to bookies, the French side are slight favorites in this matchup. However. both teams have players who can make a difference even when their team is not in a good moment.

We think home advantage will be decisive in favour of the home side.

Second sets points over 45.5

In the last h2h meetings between those teams, the average points of the second set were 47.

We think that trend will continue in this matchup.
