Türkiye and Italy will be looking to get their 2026–27 UEFA Nations League campaigns up and running when they meet in Bursa on Monday night in League A, Group 1, with both sides having lost their opening fixtures.
Türkiye was narrowly beaten 1–0 by France but still gave a good account of itself, matching Les Bleus for shots and big chances while actually edging them for expected goals despite having significantly less possession—highlighting just how dangerous it can be in the attacking third.
Italy, meanwhile, fell to a disappointing 2–0 defeat against Belgium, adding another frustrating result to a difficult period after missing out on qualification for the 2026 World Cup.
History favors Italy. Across 14 meetings between the two sides, Türkiye has never beaten the Azzurri, who have won 10 of those encounters. However, three draws in the last five meetings suggest the gap between the two nations may be narrowing.
Here’s how to tune into Türkiye vs. Italy.
