The Spain national team will face the Italy national team in Semi-finals of the 2022/2023 UEFA Nations League on Thursday, June 15, 2023. Live streaming of Spain vs Italy, preview, lineup predictions, and how to watch the match live broadcast, can be watched in this article.
Spain haven’t shown their best form recently. From the last five matches, they won only once. In fact, they lost 0-2 to Scotland in the EURO 2024 qualifiers.
However, Spain has a good record in the UEFA Nations League. They have managed four wins from their last five matches in this competition including beating Portugal to finish top of their group.
La Furia Roja suffered a shock 0-2 defeat to Scotland in the previous match and had to get back up in this match. However, this will certainly increase the confidence of La Fuente’s players when they face Italy this weekend.
It should be noted, in last season’s UEFA Nations League, Spain also met Italy in the semifinals. At that time, they beat Roberto Mancini’s team with a score of 2-1 at the San Siro. In that match, Ferran Torres scored twice for Spain, while Lorenzo Pellegrini replied for Italy.
Italy hasn’t been impressive lately either. Roberto Mancini’s team suffered two successive defeats to Austria and England, before beating hosts Malta 2-0 in their last game. With such a performance, it is very likely that the Azzurri will again taste the bitterness of defeat to Spain.
Spain will play the semifinals of the UEFA Nations League without Pedri. The Barcelona star has a thigh injury. Defender Juan Bernat has also been sent home due to not recovering and has been replaced by Fran Garcia. Meanwhile, Dani Olmo only has a 50-50 chance to appear in this match.
In the Italian camp, Domenico Berardi and Matteo Pessina also had to return home due to injury. Apart from that, Manuel Locatelli, Alessandro Florenzi, Mattia Zaccagni and Federico Baschirotto were not called up by Roberto Mancini this time around.
