Recent home/away form

Italy

Italy's recent home form has been a mixed bag, with a noticeable dip in their most recent match.

Notably, they've kept two clean sheets during this period. Their matches have been relatively high-scoring, with 67% of games seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams finding the net. The standout result was a convincing 4-1 victory over Israel in the UEFA Nations League, showcasing Italy's attacking prowess. However, their most recent home game resulted in a disappointing 3-1 defeat to France, breaking a four-match unbeaten run at home and perhaps indicating a challenge in maintaining consistency against top-tier opposition.

Germany

Germany's recent away form has been a mixed bag, with the team showing resilience but struggling to secure consistent victories. In their last six away matches, Die Mannschaft have managed two wins, three draws, and one loss, demonstrating their ability to avoid defeat but also highlighting their difficulty in closing out games. Notably, Germany have scored in every match, maintaining an impressive average of 1.5 goals per game, whilst conceding 1.17. Their goal-scoring prowess is further emphasised by the fact that both teams scored in 83% of these fixtures, contributing to an entertaining total goals average of 2.67 per match. However, Germany's defensive record leaves room for improvement, with only one clean sheet in this six-game stretch. The team's ability to compete against top-tier opposition is evident in their draws against Hungary and the Netherlands, as well as their victory over France, suggesting that Germany remain a formidable force on the road despite their inconsistent results.
