Roberto Mancini’s national team did not get off to a good start after winning the EURO against England in the final. Last month there were three international games in the World Cup qualification. The last one was won by the Azzurri at home against Lithuania and then also the first victory after the European Championship. In the clear 5-0 lead, Moise Kean (11th), Utkus (14th, own goal), Giacomo Raspadori (24th) and again Kean (29th) scored a clear 4-0 lead. After the change of sides it became a bit quieter. The European Champion scored only one goal in the second round, scoring Di Lorenzo in the 54th minute.
The Italians are still undefeated in the World Cup quali. Before the European Championships, the Squadra Azzurra won in Group C 2-0 against Northern Ireland at home and Bulgaria and Lithuania. It was only after the European Championship that the first points were lost at the beginning of September – Bulgaria (1:1) and a zero number in Switzerland as well as the 5:0 home win against Lithuania. Italy is leading the group ahead of Switzerland and will not be able to take away the World Cup participation in Qatar next year.
In the Nation League, the Southern Europeans had tougher opponents with Holland, Poland and Bosnia-Herzegovina in the League A1 than in the World Cup qualification. But even last year they remained undefeated during the preliminary round (three wins, three draws). In the home appearances against Bosnia and Holland (1:1 each), it was still difficult before Poland was beaten 2:0 on the penultimate day of the match. With a 1-0 victory in the Netherlands, a 0-0 victory in Poland and a 2-0 victory over Bosnia, Italy were even without conceding a goal.
Italy scored only seven goals in the Nations League. The best scorer for the Azzurri in the competition is Domenico Berardi from Sassuolo Calcio.
The Italian selection is worried about the use of top scorer Ciro Immobile from Lazio Rome. The attacker is working on a thigh injury.

The Iberians also didn’t get off to a good start in the World Cup qualifiers after the semi-final exit at the European Championship and took their first defeat in Sweden. After that, the national team of Luis Enrique caught up again and celebrated two victories in a row. The World Cup winner made his last international appearance in Kosovo in 2010 and, after a 2-0 victory, extended his lead in Group B, but he also had two more games to his name than the first chasing team from Sweden. The goals in Kosovo were scored by Pablo Fornals (32nd) and Ferran Torres (88th) just before the final whistle.
The Enrique-Elf thus cashed its only bankruptcy in the competition in foreign countries in Sweden (1:2). The other two guest appearances were successful against Georgia (2:1) and Kosovo (2:0). The start to the World Cup qualification was very disappointing with a 1:1 draw against Greece in front of their own fans. After all, the two home appearances against Kosovo (3:1) and Georgia (4:0) were successful. For the first time in 28 years, the Furia Roja took a defeat in a World Cup qualification. At the same time, the direct World Cup qualifier is in danger for the former World and European Champion.
In the NL, there has already been one defeat in six international games. In Group A4, the triple European champion lost on the 4th matchday in Ukraine (0:1). The Iberians celebrated victories against Ukraine in the first leg (4-0) as well as at home against Switzerland (1-0) and Germany (6-0). In Switzerland and in Germany, the break-up was 1:1 and is therefore still unsuccessful in foreign countries.
The Spaniards scored 13 goals in the current Nations League season. Only Belgium is even more accurate at the front. Ferran Torres of Manchester City is the best scorer in the Spanish national jersey with four goals. Mikel Oyarzabal (San Sebastian) and Sergio Ramos (Paris Saint Germain) each contributed two goals.

With the international game in the Nations League semi-final between Italy and Spain, a real treat awaits the fans at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium. The new edition of the European Championship semi-final this year could again only be decided in penalties.
Both national teams are endowed with a lot of quality and can win against any opponent at any time. The home advantage is a plus for the European champion, who struggled in the NL home games during the group phase and only won one out of three matches.
The Iberians even took a bankruptcy in the NL in the Ukraine, but finally swept the Germans 6-0 off the pace and are the second most dangerous team in the offensive. However, there was no away victory for the Enrique men during the group phase.
Anything can happen in Milan. We’re guessing a goal-rich game with scores on both sides. In the end, the Furia Roja prevails and moves into the final game of the Nations League.
Nevertheless, the 3-way bets seem too daring to us. That’s why we’re making the Tor bets on the market “Meet both teams? Yes”, because we think this tip is more promising in the end. Despite all this, there are hardly any cuts in the Italy – Spain odds for this tip to be accepted. The odds move at a level around 1.80.
