Sometimes statistics do not affect the result. For example France vs Italy. First half, 50:50. Second half 60:40. The final result, France lost and Italy could solve something that has never been solved as you say when playing in Paris.
Barcola with his early goal for France, but it was unimaginable that they had to give up 1-3 at the end of the match.
70 years of not winning in Italy, so for France the defeat against Italy was the first after losing to Spain in the semifinals of UERO 2024.
After Italy scored the first goal, and started creating more opportunity for themselves through the French defense, I knew it was just some few minutes it was going to take for them to score a goal. Didier Deschamps took out Olise and brought Dembele, that to me even took out more power from the French attack because even though Dembele is fast, good with his feet and can get himself into good positions, his decision making is still very poor at the last moment. Olise to me would have maintained the attacking threat that France had. Italy played very well, they kept finding spaces through the French defense.

I wonder what Türkiye will do against Wales. Craig Bellamy spoke ambitiously before the match. But Türkiye's new squad selection looks very good and balanced. It remains to be seen how the team will react after the Euro 24. In the Nations League we need to qualify for League A. We are the better team against Iceland, Montenegro and Wales. Of course, being better doesn't mean anything unless it's reflected in the score. I expect a win today in a difficult away game. I don't think Türkiye will play for a draw. 
We don't even have proper shots on target in the whole match. I don't want to criticize Montella too much while his hands are tied with the centre-forward problem. But maybe he could have told the players to show a more attacking performance instead. We don't have any reason to refrain from Wales. We are normally strong enough to defeat all of the teams in our group in League B.
