Spain showed how good shape it is in
Italy are a strong and cohesive team
Italy’s debut was against Albania. Goals from Alessandro Bastoni and Niccolo Barella underlined Italy’s ability to control matches quickly, while their disciplined approach ensured they maintained their lead with composure. Italy’s recent run without a loss in all competitions, five wins and two draws, is a testament to their togetherness and ability to perform under pressure, qualities that will be crucial against such a vibrant Spanish team. Italy’s game plan is likely to depend on their ability to suppress Spain’s attacking forays and take their own chances.
I expect an offensive game
Considering Spain’s ability to score freely (they have scored three goals or more in six of their last seven games) and Italy’s talent, a scoreless encounter is expected. Despite their strengths, however, both teams have shown vulnerabilities in defense. Spain risked conceding against Croatia, while Italy fell behind early against Albania. Historically, meetings between Spain and Italy have been highly contested, often decided by moments of individual brilliance or tactical masterstrokes. My prediction in this match is Both teams to score at odds of 1.83.
