Head-to-head
| Date | Home | Away | Score | Competition | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 2026-09-28 | Turkey | Italy | 1-4 | UEFA Nations League |
Italy's sample covers France 1-1, Turkey 4-1, Belgium 0-2, Bosnia-Herzegovina 1-1. At least three total goals occurred in 1 of 4 games, both teams scored in 3, and 0 ended with a clean sheet.
Turkey's tracked results cover Belgium 0-3, Italy 1-4, France 0-1, USA 3-2, Paraguay 0-1. At least three total goals occurred in 3 of 5 games, both teams scored in 2, and 3 ended without a goal scored.
The combined sample contains 9 matches and 26 total goals, with France 1-1 and Belgium 0-3 as individual examples. Three or more goals occurred in 4 matches and both teams scored in 5; these are recorded-score frequencies, not proof of the next total.
Italy recent chain (France 1-1, Turkey 4-1, Belgium 0-2); Turkey recent chain (Belgium 0-3, Italy 1-4, France 0-1). Those sequences set the tempo questions for the match result read without turning old scores into a promise for the next ninety minutes.

For the goals market, the fixture-specific reference is 4 qualifying games from 9 results, including Turkey 4-1 and Italy 1-4. That rate is weighed against opponent strength, lineup information, and the reference price instead of being presented as a guaranteed trend.
The case starts with two separate score sequences: Italy reached three total goals in 1 of 4 games, while Turkey did so in 3 of 5; another sample slice is Belgium 0-2 and France 0-1. This is a starting point for checking tempo and lineups, not a forecast by itself.
