Have been waiting eagerly for tonight's game. Both sides are technical and play possession football. Expecting another high quality match... Hope can see the Azzurri go to the finals!

Nope. Italy will beat Spain comfortably. Too bad Spain doesn't have an elite striker like in the good old days.

My prediction tonight: Italy to beat Spain 2-0 (My no horse run of the night)

Expert Analysis: Both teams have got the pedigree, Spain winning the Euro Champ 3x and Italy 1x, Italy won the world cup 4x and Spain 1x.
Italy has more rest days than Spain leading to this match playing in London vs Austria winning in extra time and beating Belgium in Munich much nearer to London.
Spain last two games vs Croatia in Copenhagen and Switzerland in St Peterburg which is a much further destination than what Italy has travel were won in extra time and the last match won was in a penalty shoot out where the players all look wobbly tired, with all the long distance travelling, check-in of flight and hotel and the Covid-19 SOP all these will take its toll on the Spain players which i believe will give Italy added advantage to win this semi-final.(Talking Donkey@Football Pundit)

[Charlie99]

Excellent goal by Morata, Spain tie it one one

 

[Charlie99]

Spain deserve to win, but it will probably go to extra time.

 

[THE_CHANSTER]

Redemption for Morata. A well made equaliser.

 

[THE_CHANSTER]

Extra time. Here we go…

 

[Charlie99]
