Spain faces Italy in Gelsenkirchen in one of the biggest derby in the Euro 2024 group stage. When these two teams go head to head it’s always a football classic. Let’s see what kind of a preview we could offer you in these Accurate soccer predictions for weekend games.
Spain had a flying start of the European Championship. La Roja had a tough task against Croatia in Berlin, but they were surprisingly merciless against the World Cup 1/2-finalists – 3-0. The Spanish side scored all of the three goals in the first half of the game. Alvaro Morata opened the score while Fabian Ruiz made it 2-0 with a brilliant goal. Dani Carvajal scored the third one after a great assist from the 16-years old Lamine Yamal.
Spain will hope that their captain Alvaro Morata is fine for the next game. The Atletico Madrid striker didn’t finish the match against Croatia because of an injury. He was replaced by Mikel Oyarzabal. It remains to be seen if Morata will play against the Italians.
Italy also had a winning start of their Euro 2024 campaign. The holders of the trophy conceded an early opener against Albania, but soon after this scored twice for a 2-1 win. Alessandro Bastoni equalised for Italy while Nicolo Barella scored the winner just five minutes later.
Federico Chiesa was chosen for Man of the Match against Albania. The Juventus winger reminded everyone that he usually plays well during Euros – what happened in 2021 is a good example for this. You can be sure that Chiesa will be a key player for Italy against La Roja.
That’s the Accurate soccer predictions for weekend games for the Euro 2024 game between Spain and Italy. Two of the favorites for the trophy are facing each other at the Arena auf Schalke in Gelsenkirchen. Let’s see how this one will go!
