The Turkiye vs Italy head-to-head record comes back into focus as the two sides meet in the UEFA Nations League on 28 September 2026. The numbers below are current as of 26 September 2026. Both teams sit in Group A after one round, with Turkiye third and Italy fourth of the four teams, so the positions come from the same group and are directly comparable.
Head-to-Head Record
Across all four recorded meetings between these sides, stretching back to 15 November 2006 and running through to June 2024, Italy have won twice, the pair have drawn twice, and Turkiye have yet to beat their rivals in that span. The provider’s archive does not go back any further, so this is the recent record on file rather than the sides’ entire history. Those four matches have produced 10 goals combined – 3 for Turkiye and 7 for Italy – an average of 2.5 goals per meeting. The most recent of the four, a goalless draw in June 2024, was a friendly, while their only competitive fixture in this window, a UEFA European Championship match in June 2021, finished 3-0 to Italy.

Turkiye: Recent Form
Turkiye’s last six matches read L W L L W W, giving them three wins and three losses, nine goals scored against seven conceded, and a points-per-game figure of 1.5 in that span. They kept one clean sheet and failed to score in three of the six. Two of those six matches were friendlies, so this run is not entirely competitive football.
