Italy takes on Spain in the UEFA Nations League semi-finals this week and the European champions will be hoping to take one step closer to winning the competition with a victory here.
The two sides meet on Wednesday at 19:45 pm BST.
The last time these two sides met during the European Championships, Italy won the game on penalties and Spain will be looking to avenge that defeat. Luis Enrique’s side produced an impressive performance against the Azzurri and they should have won the game.
