Spain and Italy face off in their second Group B match of UEFA Euro 2024 on Thursday, June 20.
Spain impressed in their opener in Berlin, scoring three first-half goals to defeat Croatia. Fabián Ruiz starred with a key assist for Álvaro Morata and a goal of his own.
Sixteen-year-old Lamine Yamal also shone, delivering a superb cross for Dani Carvajal to score the third goal. The three-time Euro champions enter this match with strong momentum.
Italy, meanwhile, had a tough start against Albania but recovered to secure a hard-fought win. The Azzurri have recent history on their side, having beaten Spain in the last two Euros.
They won 2-0 in the round of 16 eight years ago and triumphed in a semifinal penalty shoot-out at Euro 2020. Despite the challenge, defender Alessandro Bastoni believes Italy can exploit Spain's weaknesses.
Both teams aim for a win to secure a spot in the knockout stages, making this a highly anticipated encounter.

Spain vs. Italy prediction
- Score prediction: Spain 2-1 Italy
Spain and Italy are no strangers to each other, meeting for the fifth straight Euros and also clashing in the Nations League recently.
Spain’s diverse attacking approach, which worked well against Croatia, might give them the edge over Italy, whose defense has shown some vulnerability. This could lead to La Roja securing a spot in the last 16.
