The sides last met in June 2023 as Spain won 2-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-spain-form\"><span class=\"green\">Spain Form<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Spain won the UEFA Nations League in June last year on penalties after a 0-0 draw vs Croatia. Six successive victories in Euro 2024 qualifiers followed as they topped their group. That streak included some big wins including 7-1 vs Georgia and 6-0 vs Cyprus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In March, they played two friendlies, losing 1-0 to Colombia in London and drawing 3-3 against Brazil. They played two warmup matches before the Euros, thrashing Andorra 5-0 and Northern Ireland 5-1. Their opening match in the tournament was a 3-0 win over Croatia. They scored three goals between the 29th&nbsp;minute and half-time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div   id="7rtdq1biye"    class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div   id="7rtdq1biye"    class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-black-color has-text-color has-background no-border-radius wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bet.machibet777-affiliate.com\/sports\/soccer\/euro-2024\/\" style=\"background-color:#f2a12a\">Bet Now: EURO 2024<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-spain-team-news\"><span class=\"green\"><span class=\"green\">Spain<\/span> Team News<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Spain have two minor concerns ahead of this match. Rodri was taken off in the second half with fatigue after a long season. He will be fit to start this key match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coach Luis de la Fuente saw captain and striker Alvaro Morata go off with a knock against Croatia. On the off chance that he doesn\u2019t recover in time, Mikel Oyarzabal will lead the line in preference to Joselu. Marc Cucurella is set to keep his place at left-back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-spain-motivation\"><span class=\"green\"><span class=\"green\">Spain<\/span> Motivation<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A draw would be a decent result in this match whilst a victory would pretty much seal top spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This Spain team are not as possession reliant as sides of the past.

They lost five of 12 matches during that period and were thrashed by Argentina (3-0) and Germany (5-2). Since losing 2-1 to Spain in the UEFA Nations League semi-finals, they\u2019ve lost just once in 12 matches. Their European qualifying group ended with a 3-1 loss to England, a 5-2 win over North Macedonia, and a 0-0 draw vs Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They won two friendlies back in March and before this tournament, Italy beat Ecuador 2-0 and drew 0-0 vs Turkiye. A 1-0 win vs Bosnia-Herzegovina was their final warmup result. The tournament began by falling behind vs Albania after 23 seconds before a strong response to win 2-1. They had 17 shots and 68% of the ball in the victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-italy-team-news\"><span class=\"green\">Italy Team News<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Luciano Spalletti is set to name an unchanged team, assuming Federico Chiesa shakes off a knock. Federico Dimarco is set to remain at left-back despite his error for Albania\u2019s goal last Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The squad is quite short of depth in the forward areas. AS Roma captain Lorenzo Pellegrini will play down the left wing again due to a lack of natural wide players at the tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div   id="7rtdq1biye"    class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div   id="7rtdq1biye"    class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-black-color has-text-color has-background no-border-radius wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bet.machibet777-affiliate.com\/sports\/soccer\/euro-2024\/\" style=\"background-color:#f2a12a\">Bet Now: EURO 2024<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-italy-motivation\"><span class=\"green\">Italy Motivation<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This Italy team plays similar football to Spalletti\u2019s Napoli.
