UEFA Nations League -- Italy vs Spain

Italy and Spain will face off in a high-profile UEFA Nations League semi-final on Wednesday evening.

  

Italy are in fine form and are currently on an unbeaten streak that has now stretched to 37 games. Being six games unbeaten in League A Group 1, Italy played out a 1-1 draw with Bulgaria before being held to a goalless stalemate by Switzerland. In their latest game, they eased to a 5-0 success over Lithuania. 

 

 

 

 

Spain failed to respond to their Euro 2020 heartbreak straight away as they once again struggled against an inspired Sweden - losing 2-1 in World Cup Qualifying - but they returned to winning ways with convincing successes over Georgia and Kosovo. They had to face a penalty shootout defeat to Italy at the in the semi-finals of the continental competition after a 1-1 draw.

 

Spain have won just one of their last five against Italy in all competitions. Therefore, it’s obviously that Italy are quite simply the favorites to go on to win the Nations League following their exploits at Euro 2020.
