Hello and thank’s stopping by to view our Euro 2012 Spain v Italy Betting Preview where we have also provided you with the latest Team News, Head to Head Statistics, Lineups, Predictions, Tips, Odds, Free Bets and Money Back Specials associated with the match.
Spain will be looking to make history on Sunday evening in the Olympic Stadium as the first country ever to win three successive major tournaments and with a fully fit squad available and no suspension for coach vincent del bosque it would take a very brave person to bet against them achieving it.
Italy will have other ideas though and will head into this match knowing that Spain have only managed to beat them once since 1920 which came in a penalty shoot out during the quarter final stage of Euro 2008. But with the Azzuri yet to lose a competitive fixture under coach Cesare Prandelli the Italians will certainly fancy their chances.
Spain v Italy Team News
Spain Team News
Coach Vincent del Bosque has no suspensison and a fully fit squad to choose from, but with Alvaro Negredo failing to impress in the semi final against Portugal it looks likely that Cesc Fabregas will again take up the false striker role up front.
Probable Line Up [4-4-1-1]: Cassillas, Arbeloa, Ramos, Pique, Alba, Xavi, Busquests, Alonso, Silva, Fabregas, Iniesta
Italy Team News
Coach Cesare Prandelli has Christian Maggio available for selection having now served his one match suspension but he looks unlikely to be handed a starting position and will have to settle for a place on the bench. Ignazio Abate has recovered from a knock and should retain his starting position at the back.
Probable Line Up [4-4-1-1]: Buffon, Abate, Barzagli, Bonucci, Balzaretti, Marchisio, Pirlo, Nocerino, Motta, Balotelli, Cassano
