Italy will play for the European Championship in a super clash against world champions Spain. La Roja has already qualified for the quarterfinals, while the Azzurre need only a draw to secure a spot they last achieved in 2013. Let’s take a look at the predictions and odds for Italy vs. Spain, scheduled for Friday, July 11, at 9 p.m. in Bern.
ITALY VS. SPAIN PREDICTIONS AND ODDS— The situation in the group sees Spain in first place with 6 points, followed by Italy with 4. Portugal is in third place and needs to beat Belgium by a large margin (today the Lusitanian goal difference is -5, against +1 for the Azzurre) and hope for a defeat for Soncin’s girls. Of course, Spain is a formidable opponent, but the recent victory in the Nations League could give Bonansea and her teammates the courage they need. Furthermore, if Spain decides to rotate its squad, a draw could be a realistic option: a draw is priced at 6.40 on LeoVegas, 6.25 on Snai, 6.15 on Goldbet, and 5.75 on Betsson.
OTHER ODDS— Spain is the clear favorite on the bookmakers’ boards, where a 2 is worth between 1.21 and 1.25, while Italy’s success reaches 12 on Sisal, 11 on Snai, and 10 on Planetwin365 and Admiralbet. “We respect Spain, but we’re going to play our game,” said the Italian players at a press conference. The 11 goals scored by Spain in their first two games are frightening, but the Italian defense has conceded only one goal, and Soncin’s girls are eager to make history and return to the big stage 12 years later.
