Italy – Spain

All eyes will be on Wembley Stadium when Italy and Spain go head to head in the EURO 2020 semis. The two European giants have adopted similar approaches to their game and will have to be at their best to reach the finals of Euro 2020. After a fairly shaky start to their Euro campaign, Spain have managed to hit their stride and have scored 11 goals in their last three matches.

Italy, on the other hand, have been one of the most impressive outfits at Euro 2020 so far. Roberto Mancini and his group effectively dispelled all concerns regarding their big-game credentials with a victory against Belgium in the quarterfinals and are now only two matches away from a historic triumph.

Spain have a marginal historical advantage over Italy as far as the head-to-head record is concerned and have won 12 matches out of a total of 34 games played between the two teams. Italy have managed nine victories against Spain with the other 13 games ending in stalemates.

Italy are the only team to have won all their matches so far at UEFA Euro 2020 and are on a historic unbeaten streak under Roberto Mancini at the moment. Spain have also exceeded expectations this year and have defied their skeptics by pulling off some impressive results at the Euros. Italy have all their bases covered, however, and hold a slight upper hand going into this knock-out fixture.
