On June 15, De Grolsch Veste (Enschede) will host the 1/2 final match of the Nations League Final Four in League A, in which Spain will compete with Italy. The battle will start at 20:45 CET.

Spain

The team ended “the era of Luis Enrique” ingloriously. It actually repeated in Qatar its own “exploits” of the times of the World Cup in Russia – it managed, as in 2018, to “crawl” out of the group with a lot of troubles, but only for the sake of losing on penalties to Morocco already at the 1/8 stage. Moreover, as in the match against Cherchesov’s wards, which took place four years earlier, “La Furia Roja” was the favourite – so, what’s the point? However, “Lucho” also had got merits, and this was not only the successful Euro 2020, the Spanish team confidently played in the Nations League, including winning the group in the previous year. Being under the rule of the new mentor, de la Fuente, the team has not increased its stability yet. Luis made his debut at the position (although he knew almost all the players, because of his continuous work with the youth team) with a victory; moreover, it was a confident one: strong Norway was defeated with a 3-0 score. However, the Scots returned the opponent to the ground, scoring two unanswered goals, in the next match.

Italy

The team leaves the most controversial impression. On the one hand, this is the reigning European champion and the continental tournament was won in 2021 on merit – there was a victory in the final match against England at Wembley. Speaking about the Nations League, the team performs quite well. On the other hand, “the Squadra Azzurra” has already failed twice: that was before Roberto Mancini and already under his rule – it has missed the World Cup in both 2018 and 2022. It is reasonable to mention that it lost the home match to modest North Macedonia in the previous spring! Moreover, the new cycle, which started in March, began with the home defeat made by England, and only then Malta was beaten. A newcomer, naturalized Argentinian Retegui, scored in both battles. It was written about possible new “oriundi”, but the squad has remained practically unchanged so far.

The statistics of head-to-head matches

The Italians overcame Spain at the Euro, but only in a penalty shoot-out. Then “La Furia Roja” was able to beat “the Squadra Azzurra” in the previous Nations League Final Four in Milan.

Predictions

Bookmakers consider Spain to be the favourite of the following battle. Still, Italy is also not “a gift” and needs new successes. Thus, we recommend betting on “total: over 2.0” (odd: 1.74).
