Italy vs Spain Betting Tip and Predictions. In the one of the most interesting matches of the 1/8 finals on EURO 2016, Italy take on Spain at Stade de France, in Paris. Read below betting preview, useful info and betting predictions for the match between Italy vs Spain.
Italy finished at the 1st position in Group E on EURO 2016, with two wins and lost game. In the opening match in group, Italy beat Belgium 0-2, while in the second round they took another three points against Sweden 1-0 and qualified in the next phase of this tournament. In the last game they lost 0-1 in the match against Republic of Ireland, but that game wasn’t important for them and despite the fact that they lost, Italians secured the top position. They won’t have an easy job in the 1/8 finals and will have to play against European Champions, Spain. But, Italians know how to play matches like these and I believe they will play defensively and try to score from the counter-attack.
Italy and Spain were met in the final of EURO 2012 and Spanish side smashed them 4-0!
