A succession of reliable showings by the Italy defence has seen the number of goals they’ve conceded amounting to 2 from their past 6 fixtures combined. During the same period of time, the number of goals that they have scored themselves is 7. Let’s find out if that trend will end up being continued on into this next match.
↔️ Head to head
A review of their prior head to head meetings stretching back to 27/06/2016 shows that Spain have won 3 of them & Italy 1, with the number of drawn games standing at 2.
A sum of 15 goals were produced between them in these games, with 9 of them from La Furia Roja and 6 coming from Azzurri. That’s an average goals per game of 2.5.
🗞️ Team News: Spain
In our view, La Furia Roja will probably use the 4-3-3 system for the game and select Unai Simon, Daniel Carvajal, Robin Le Normand, Nacho Fernandez, Marc Cucurella, Pedri, Rodri, Fabian Ruiz, Lamine Yamal, Alvaro Morata and Nico Williams.
📋 Team News: Italy
We are inclined to think that Azzurri appear most likely to elect for a 4-2-3-1 lineup using Gianluigi Donnarumma, Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Alessandro Bastoni, Riccardo Calafiori, Federico Dimarco, Jorginho, Nicolo Barella, Davide Frattesi, Lorenzo Pellegrini, Federico Chiesa and Gianluca Scamacca.
✨ Prediction
We’re thinking that Italy would be disappointed if they were not to break down this Spain side, although it isn’t expected to be as many as they will have scored against them.
Our tip is for a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 winning margin for Spain at the end of the 90 minutes. It should be a decent one.
