You don't synchronise your iTunes Library with the iTunes Media folder.
Your iTunes Library lists music that you have added (not synchronised) to the library. Some, but not all, songs listed in the library will be in the iTunes Media folder. So the number of items in the folder is unlikely to be the same as the number of songs in your library.
Don't forget though, that there may be other files in the iTunes Media folder, such as artwork and compressed files, which are not used by iTunes. (The artwork is usually inside the audio file, but purchased songs often have a file for the artwork in the folder as well.)

What exactly is your concern?
If they matched until recently see Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash - Apple Community.
Otherwise you likely need to import the media folder, and then remove any dead tracks.
See Duplicate songs in iTunes - Apple Community if the import creates duplicates and KillDeadTracks if you have broken references to files you've deleted.
