Spain vs Italy Prediction Prediction
This will be the 11th time that Spain and Italy have faced off in a major competition, a record for two European countries. They are playing each other for the fifth time in as many Euros, and Spain’s winning streak over Italy may continue. They have also been frequent opponents in the Nations League.
Spain may be celebrating a safe trip to the round of 16 since their more varied attacking strategy paid off against Croatia, while Italy’s defense is still questionable.

SPN vs ITA Players to watch
Spain: Midfielder Fabian Ruiz, who scored and provided an assist against Croatia, was the most impressive player for Spain on the opening day of play. Despite his detractors in Spain, Fabian Ruiz is a sophisticated operator who last week received strong support from the manager of his national team.
Italy: Italy’s most potent weapon and man of the match from the previous game, Federico Chiesa, will pose the greatest threat to Spain. He is Italy’s key attacking player thanks to his dribbling, build-up play, and deadly finishing. When given the freedom to move freely on his right side, he is superb.
