Where: Veltins Arena, Gelsenkirchen, Germany
When: Friday, June 21, 03:00 AM

Spain defeated Croatia pretty routinely, exploiting the rival’s problems and weak spots. After the game, both Rodri and Morata confirmed that their injuries hadn’t been major. Therefore, everything was in perfect shape in the Spanish locker room. It’s the same in Italy, which posted a win over Albania after overcoming the deficit to start its campaign of defending the European crown.

Spain vs. Italy Preview

Spain

The Red Fury blitzed Croatia, who didn’t know what hit them in the first half of their matchup. Three goals, with plenty more chances for a total domination and three points. We need to say that Fabian Ruiz perfectly orchestrated the midfield, scoring a goal and assisting for one more.

As we stated, Rodri and Morata picked up injuries leaving the field, but in the end, everything turned out fine with the two superstars. They are 100% ready for the meeting with Italy, and there’s no debate about their participation.

Spain now has three wins in a row and 16 goals scored over the latest four meetings. It seems that Luis de la Fuente targeted the form for the championship perfectly.

Italy

The Azzurri were down one goal some ten seconds into the match against Albania, who had a home-field edge in that meeting. Albanian fans occupied more than two-thirds of the Signal Iduna Park, but even that wasn’t enough to prevent the Italians from coming back.

Soon after the initial shock, Spalletti’s boys took over the control of the field, scoring twice until the end of the half to flip the score. After that, it was the classic Italian way of keeping the advantage and killing the pace of the game.

Italy has seven wins in the last ten events, four over the past five. They’ve posted four clean sheets in the previous six meetings, and that’s a great improvement compared to the previous calendar year.

Spain vs Italy Head to Head

Spain vs. Italy Predictions

Both teams are solid in defense, and knowing they have won from the opening clash, we can hardly believe that either unit here would go after a victory and be offensive-minded. That’s why we took under 2.5 goals in this event.

Our verdict: Under 2.5 goals
