Spain vs Italy 15.06.2023

A long run on the pitch finally paid out to the Spanish squad, following a late close-range finish from Alvaro Morata to mark the only goal of the match that flipped the table to deny the Portuguese from advancing to the semis of the UEFA Nations League this season. They will now face the Italians this Thursday for the semifinal. Let it be remembered, Spain ended the Italians’ world record of 37 unbeaten runs in the football history during the last season’s semifinals. This leaves a big note to Jose Luis De La Fuente to maintain this record of his predecessor in the coming fixture.

For Italians this is could be a time for avenging their painful defeat to the Spanish side in their last semis. They had done a great job collecting 2 back-to-back clean wins in group stage and now their only wish is to keep this form alive. Italy is anticipated to bring in all key player to skip another defeat in this game. Their young talented player, Wilfred Gnonto might be one of the players in starting IX in this coming fixture despite his struggle to secure a place on the pitch at Elland Road. However, the trust of their fans to Roberto Mancini’s plan is enough to believe Italy could be a bigger challenge in this match. Game ON.

We are predicting Most Corners to Spain and they are to qualify for the final.
