Italy and Spain are set to face off in the first semi finals of the Euro 2020. The victorious team in this match will face either England or Denmark in the final clash at Wembley in London. This mouth watering fixture is scheduled to kickoff 22:00 on Tuesday at the Wembley Stadium.
Italy looks to be on a fierce form after making 15 victories in a row and 32 games unbeaten run, furthermore; they dispatched the world’s top ranked team Belgium in Munich in the quarterfinals. On the other hand Spain started fairly shaky in this campaign however they have managed back their winning ways.
Spain has scored 12 times across the last four matches in the Euro 2020 and has shaken their tag as the team who would not make a breakthrough. Italy on the other side has scored 11 goals across three games but they have gone two matches without a clean sheet at the Euros.
The Azzurri have won 12 of their games heading into this one that makes them worthy favorites. Whilst Spain has drawn 1-1 with Switzerland and Poland in recent matches and we feel this might be used against them in this fixture.
Man to keep an eye on in this match will be Lorenzo insigne who scored a fantastic goal against Belgium last Friday. Insigne has had more goals than any other Italian player in this tournament and he’s clearly focusing on causing more trouble to the opposition.
Italy vs Spain head to head
Italy has better chances of winning this match having not lost in 32 of their previous matches compare to Spain who haven’t lost in only 12 games.
