Spain vs Italy prediction and betting tips - June 20, 2024
As part of the second round of the Euro 2024 group stage, Spain and Italy will face off. The match will take place in Gelsenkirchen on Thursday, June 20, with kickoff scheduled for 21:00 Central European Time. Experts at Dailysports have provided a prediction for this match.
Spain
Luis de la Fuente's team started the current European Championship brilliantly. The Spaniards left no chance for the Croatian team in their first-round match, scoring three goals before halftime.
Before the match with Italy, the team has some minor personnel issues. Rodri and Morata did not train after the match against the Croatians but, according to the coach, will be ready for the next game. The only player in the infirmary is Aymeric Laporte, who arrived with a muscle injury and, apparently, will not play against the Italians.
Italy
Italy achieved the necessary result in the match against Albania after conceding an early goal. Although not without nerves, the "Azzurri" managed to secure three points against the group's underdog.
The key match of the group stage will undoubtedly be the final match against Croatia. However, securing a place in the playoffs and preparing for the knockout stages can begin now. A victory in this match guarantees either team a top-two finish.
Interesting facts and head-to-head records
- Spain has scored at least 3 goals in their last four games.
- Italy is unbeaten in seven consecutive matches.
- In the last three head-to-head meetings, the "both teams to score" bet has always been successful.
Spain vs Italy Prediction
A match between two top teams will attract many fans, but predicting its outcome will be very difficult. I think a bet on both teams to score would be a good option.
