Italy v Spain betting tips: Spain seek revenge in Nations League

They subsequently did better than many expected in reaching the semi-finals of the European Championship and are 21/10 to win this semi-final.

Italy v Spain head-to-head

This is a re-run of the European Championship final in 2012 when Spain were at their peak and cruised to a stunning 4-0 victory in Kiev.

The two teams have met seven times since then and there have been four draws, with this match 19/10 to go to extra time in Italy v Spain betting tips.

The most recent meeting saw Federico Chiesa’s second-half strike cancelled out by Alvaro Morata in the Euro 2020 semi at Wembley, only for the Italians to win on penalties.

Both sides scored in three of the last eight meetings and it is 4/5 that one or other fails to score this time.

Goals have been at a premium in recent meetings. There have been three or more goals scored in just three of the last 13 meetings, and it is 6/5 that over 2.5 total goals will be scored on this occasion.

Italy v Spain team news

Italy have been forced into a change, bringing in Moise Kean from Juventus to replace Lazio hitman Ciro Immobile.

Roma full-back Leonardo Spinazzola is still ruled out with an Achilles injury and expects to return next month.

Spain have called up Brais Mendez and Bryan Gil to replace injured Pedri and Marcos Llorente, and there is also a recall for Chelsea’s Marcos Alonso after a three-year absence. He will join Blues teammate César Azpilicueta, who has been a regular in Enrique’s side.

Italy v Spain key battles

Italy’s long unbeaten run, which stretches back to September 2018, could be under threat.

Spinazzola was one of Italy’s key players in the first part of Euro 2020 before injury and Italy are a more creative side when he is in their back four.

Should they struggle, Spain have plenty of marksmen, such as Manchester City’s Ferran Torres, who will look to take advantage and Enrique’s side are 1/2 to win or draw the game on the Double Chance market and 23/20 to win either half in Italy v Spain betting tips.
