Any guidance on how I can do this please?

numbers1_input=input().split()
numbers2_input=input().split()

numbers_1=[]
for x in numbers1_input:
   numbers_1.append(int(x))

numbers_2=[]
for y in numbers2_input:
   numbers_2.append(int(y)) 

So far I have created the input into 2 lists

>Solution :

numbers1_input="1 2 3 4 5 7".split()
numbers2_input="1 2 4 4 5 6".split()

numbers_1=[]
for x in numbers1_input:
   numbers_1.append(int(x))

numbers_2=[]
for y in numbers2_input:
   numbers_2.append(int(y)) 

for n1, n2 in zip(numbers_1, numbers_2):
    print(f"{'+' if n1==n2 else '-'} {n1} {n2}")

EDIT:
If one of the lists can be longer, you can use itertools.zip_longest to fill shorter iterables with whatever you need:

from itertools import zip_longest

for n1, n2 in zip_longest(numbers_1, numbers_2, fillvalue="x"):
    print(f"{'+' if n1==n2 else '-'} {n1} {n2}")
