Spain started their Group B campaign with an impressive 3-0 win against a strong Croatia side at the Olympiastadion Berlin and are considered the be one of the favorites to win the Euro’s.
Luis de la Fuente’s squad was full of verve and zip as they blew Croatia away and took their first three points as they bid to make it out of the group stage, which has Italy, Croatia, and Albania.
The focus for La Roja will be to keep their style against Italy but bolster their solidity and ensure they do not give away many chances against the Azzurri on Thursday.

Italy laid down a marker in an impressive display against a strong Albania side enroute to a 2-1 win that puts them on three points in Group B alongside Spain ahead of their clash on Thursday.
The Azzurri dominated the ball against Albania, linked play well, and defended brilliantly, other than the lapse in defense in the first minute that saw Nedim Bajrami score the quickest goal in the history of the European Championship.
According to UEFA Euro 2024 predictions, Italy will look to retain their intensity, pressing, and defensive shape as they look for the three points that will send them through to the knockout stages.

Italy will need to control the midfield area if they are to stand a chance of winning this match. Arsenal’s Jorginho and Inter Milan’s Nicolo Barella will be central to setting the tempo and rhythm of the match.
I think that Jorginho and Barella will help keep and circulate the ball, lead the press to win the ball back when they lose it, and help keep the shape of the Azzurri.
La Roja will need Manchester City’s Rodri to continue being the linchpin in the middle of the pack as they work to dominate the ball and dominate the match. Morata will also lead the line and provide physical presence, movement, and link-up play in the final third.
While Rodri will provide the defensive security and provide the basis for attacks, Atletico Madrid’s Morata will stretch defenses and offer the goal threat that Spain will need to overcome the Azzurri.
