The 2026-27 UEFA Nations League is already underway, with Turkey set to host France on Friday, September 25, at 2:45 p.m. ET. The League A matchup will mark the opening game of the campaign for both teams.

France, ranked third in the FIFA world rankings (1948.97 points), enters as the heavy favorite against 27th-ranked Turkey (1582.54 points). Zinedine Zidane’s team has won 10 of its last 14 competitive matches. Vincenzo Montella’s Turkey secured promotion from Nations League B after beating Hungary 3-1 and 3-0 in the playoffs.

From a betting perspective, France’s attacking depth is a major factor, with Kylian Mbappé, Ousmane Dembelé, and Michael Olise among its key threats. Turkey will look to Arda Güler, Kerem Aktürkoglu, and Can Uzun to provide enough attacking quality to challenge the visitors.

Odds as of September 24 at theScore Bet.

France is a heavy favorite in the current moneyline market at -208, while Turkey is priced at +500 and the draw is +380.

After removing the sportsbook’s vig, the moneyline implies a 66.5% chance of a France win, a 14.6% chance of a Turkey win, and an 18.9% chance of a draw.

A $10 bet on France at -208 would return $14.81 in total, including $4.81 in profit. A $10 bet on Turkey at +500 would return $60.00, including $50 in profit, if the home side wins.

The moneyline has also moved since opening, with France going from -233 to -208 and Turkey moving from +475 to +500. The total opened at 3.5 goals, with the Over at +125 and Under at -179. The Under has since moved to -159.
