Spain vs Italy Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 15th June 2023
Spain take on Italy for a place in the Nations League final on Thursday. Kick-off is 20.45 at De Grolsch Veste stadium in Enschede, Netherlands.
The last time these two teams faced off against each other, Spain came away as 2-1 winners. No doubt they are planning a similar outcome on Thursday.
Whereas hosts Spain sit as number 10 in the FIFA world ranking, visitors Italy arrive this coming Thursday as number eight.
Spain average 1.8 goals per game in their last ten games, scoring 18 times. They conceded nine goals or an average of 0.9 per game, with four clean sheets along the way.
Italy scored 15 goals, conceded ten and managed five clean sheets in their previous ten matches.
Spain vs Italy Prediction
Spain Form
Spain have seen it all in their last three matches, which added four points to their account. They first shared the points in a 0-0 draw with Morocco, before claiming 3 points in a 3-0 win against Norway. Unfortunately for them, this was followed by a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Scotland. Spain won twice in their past six internationals in which they also drew two and lost two. They hit the target 15 times and conceded four goals.
Italy Form
In their last three matches, Italy lost against Austria and England by 2-0 and 1-2, respectively, and beat Malta by 0-2. Italy claimed four wins in six internationals, whilst drawing none and losing two in which the score said nine scored to eight conceded.
Spain go into their match at De Grolsch Veste as favourites with the bookies, but form has been too shabby for us to back that claim. We prefer a bet on Italy, while the more cautious punter might prefer the double-chance.
