On July 6, the semi-final match of the European Championship 2020 between the national teams of Italy and Spain will take place. Roman Pavlyuchenko, a former football player of Spartak Moscow and Tottenham in England, offers his forecast for this match.
The favorite in this pair is Italy. The team has a perfect balance between offense and defense. The wards of Roberto Mancini run away great in counterattacks, which was the key to success against the Belgians. This will play a role today.
Pavlyuchenko believes that the "red fury" has a strong attack and in this aspect it is even better, but there are difficulties in defense - too many goals were conceded. It will be extremely difficult to contain the Blue Lagoon forwards.
He is betting on Italy's passage to the final.
