On July 6, the match of the 1/2 final of the 2020 European Football Championship between the national teams of Italy and Spain will take place. We bring to your attention the forecast for this meeting.
Italy
After the labor victory over Austria, some fans tried to remove the crown from the Italian national team. It didn't work out, the Italians are still very, very cool. In the quarterfinals against the powerful Belgian national team, the Italians did not make them doubt their own abilities for a second. Roberto Mancini has created an amazing team with almost no weaknesses. With all due respect to Spain, the Italians are much stronger now.
Spain
For Spain, both matches in the playoffs turned out to be incredibly nervous. First there was a dramatic meeting with Croatia, and the Spaniards passed Switzerland only in a penalty shootout. And this is not so much the merit of the Spaniards themselves, the Swiss kicked penalties too badly. It will be incredibly difficult with Italy, and there is no confidence that the defense of the Spanish national team will cope with the variable Italian attack.
Injuries and disqualifications:
- Injuries:
- Spinazzola, Florence-Italy.
- Under question:
- Sarabia – Spain.
Statistics and figures:
- The unbeaten streak of the Italian national team is thirty-two matches. Italy last lost in September 2018;
- In the last fifteen games, Spain has lost only once. It happened in the match with Ukraine;
- The last time Italy and Spain met in the selection for the 2018 World Cup, the first meeting ended 1-1, and in the second the Spaniards won with a score of 3-0.
Forecast:
Spain suffered in every playoff match and reached the semifinals despite. We are not sure that such luck will last indefinitely. The Italians showed in the match with Belgium that they are even more comfortable playing against the top teams. Roberto Mancini created a real team, which actually made him doubt himself a little only in the game with the Austrians. In order not to take any risks, we are betting that the Italians will make it to the final. Perhaps it will be after overtime.
