The UEFA Women's Euro 2022 is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as France take on Italy on Sunday. Both teams have impressive players in their ranks but France will expect to dominate the match.
Italy are not at their best at the moment and will need to work hard to qualify for the knock-outs this year. The Azzurri played out a 1-1 draw against Spain in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch this weekend.
France, on the other hand, are on a goalscoring spree and will look to be at their clinical best in the coming weeks. The home side thrashed Vietnam 7-0 last week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
