Spain vs Italy Prediction Euro 2024

⚽ Football EURO 2024 Match Preview

⏰ 20 June 2024 - 20:00 GMT +1

🏟 Stadium: Veltins Arena (Gelsenkirchen)

Two European powerhouses collide as three-time Euro winners Spain face defending champions Italy in Gelsenkirchen for the fifth straight tournament. After a 3-0 opening win over Croatia, revenge may be on Spain's minds after Italy eliminated them from the last two Euro finals.

That victory continued Spain's strong qualifying form (W7, L1), though their all-time record against Italy is finely balanced (W13, D16, L11). Extending their narrow head-to-head edge would see them through to the knockouts early, though four of seven Euro meetings with Italy ended level.

A draw could be enough for both to advance, but two-time winners Italy are unlikely to take it easy after their comeback win over Albania maintained hopes of another group sweep like Euro 2020. This is their eighth straight Euro finals, with a win ensuring a fifth successive knockout berth. Recent form (W5, D2) boosts hopes of downing Spain, though low scoring has been a theme.
