Italy host unbeaten France in a pivotal UEFA Nations League Group A1 clash on Thursday, November 12, with both teams aiming to secure a place in the competition's quarter-finals. The match takes place at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro) in Milan.
Kick-off time and how to watch
Kick-off in Milan is scheduled for 7:45pm (8:45pm local time). It is the late game in Group A1 on Thursday, following Belgium's away fixture against Turkey at 5pm, which could temporarily push Italy down into third place.
The game will not air on any traditional UK television channel. Instead, exclusive live streaming is available on Amazon Prime Video via a £2.49 pay-per-view pass, with coverage starting at 7:35pm. In the US, the match will air on Fox Sports 1.
Italy's Nations League record
Italy sit on seven points from four group games, with a record of two wins, one draw and one loss. They opened with a 2–0 home defeat to Belgium in Rome before beating Turkey 4–1 away in Bursa, drawing 1–1 away to France in Saint-Denis, and defeating Turkey 3–1 at home in Bologna.
France's record and Group A1 standings
Unbeaten France top the standings with 10 points after recording three victories and a single draw. Their campaign features 1–0 away wins over Turkey in Izmit and Belgium in Brussels, followed by a 1–1 home draw against Italy and a 4–1 home victory over Belgium at the Stade de France.
France sit top, Italy are second, and Belgium are third. Only the top two teams advance to the quarter-finals, meaning fourth-place Turkey are already out of contention. Third place enters a relegation play-off, and fourth suffers automatic relegation to League B.
