Spain vs Italy predictions

Spain blasted out of the blocks at Euro 2024, just as they did at the 2022 World Cup, and La Roja should follow up their 3-0 victory over Croatia by beating European champions Italy in Gelsenkirchen.

A 7-0 rout of Costa Rica on matchday one at the World Cup proved to be a false dawn for Spain, who took one point from their next two group games against Germany and Japan before a penalty-shootout defeat to Morocco in the round of 16.

However, Luis de la Fuente's side should be full of confidence after their slick dismantling of a hugely experienced Croatia side and they look set for a repeat of last summer's 2-1 win over Italy in the Nations League semi-finals.

The Azzurri are just one place below Spain in the Fifa rankings but the match betting suggests there is a wider gap between the sides.

Italy edged past La Roja on penalties to reach the final of Euro 2020 despite having only 35 per cent of possession in 120 minutes.

Roberto Mancini and Luis Enrique were in the dugouts that day but there may be a different pattern to the play when De la Fuente's Spain take on Luciano Spalletti's Italy.

Against Croatia, Spain had less of the ball than their opponents for the first time in a competitive fixture since the Euro 2008 final win over Germany.

At times they have struggled to convert possession into goals but they looked a more efficient attacking unit in their opening win, racing into a 3-0 half-time lead thanks to goals from Alvaro Morata, Fabian Ruiz and Dani Carvajal.

Their last three friendly results before the Euros were a 3-3 draw with Brazil, a 5-0 rout of Andorra and a 5-1 victory over Northern Ireland and they won their final seven qualifiers by an aggregate score of 22-3.

While Spain outclassed Croatia, Italy edged past Group B outsiders Albania 2-1 after a shocking start to their title defence.

Albania striker Nedim Bajrami pounced on a defensive mix-up to put the 8-1 shots ahead after just 23 seconds although Italy swiftly responded with goals from Alessandro Bastoni and Nicolo Barella in the 11th and 16th minutes.

The influential Barella and his fellow midfielders face a tough test against a top-class Spanish trio of Rodri, Pedri and Ruiz and Italy's full-backs should be troubled by exciting wingers Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams.

Spain's attacking bench strength is also a concern for the Azzurri as Dani Olmo, Ferran Torres and Mikel Oyarzabal, who scored four goals in La Roja's last two friendlies, all came on against Croatia.

Dynamic Bayer Leverkusen left-back Alex Grimaldo and Real Madrid's Champions League semi-final hero Joselu were among the unused subs and Spain are a good bet to overpower the defending champions.

Key stat

Spain have scored three or more goals in six of their last seven internationals

Spain vs Italy bet builder predictions

Spain to win
La Roja looked an excellent all-round outfit in their 3-0 win over Croatia and beat Italy at last summer's Nations League semi-final

Over 1.5 goals
The last seven meetings between these sides featured over 1.5 goals and Spain have scored 16 times in their last four games

Giovanni Di Lorenzo to be shown a card
Croatia's right-back Josip Stanisic made four tackles in the defeat to Spain and Italy's Di Lorenzo could be in the firing line against La Roja's lively wide players
