Italy-Spain: A draw is enough for the Azzurre to reach the quarterfinals.

Italy is playing for the European Championship in a super match against world champions Spain. La Roja has already qualified for the quarterfinals, while the Azzurre could be content with just a draw to secure a spot they last earned in 2013. Here's the prediction and odds for Italy vs. Spain, scheduled for Friday, July 11, at 9:00 PM in Bern.

Spain is currently in first place with six points, followed by Italy with four. Portugal is third, and to advance they'll need to beat Belgium by a landslide (the Portuguese team's goal difference is currently -5, compared to Italy's +1) and hope for a defeat by Soncin's girls. Spain is certainly intimidating, but their recent Nations League victory could give Bonansea and her teammates the courage they need. If Spain were to opt for a bit of rotation, a draw could become a real option: the draw is worth 6.40 on LeoVegas , 6.25 on Snai , 6.15 on Goldbet , and 5.75 on Betsson .

Spain is the clear favorite according to the bookmakers, with odds of 2 between 1.21 and 1.25, while Italy's win reaches 12 on Sisal, 11 on Snai, and 10 on Planetwin365 and Admiralbet. "We respect Spain, but we'll play our game," the Italians said at the press conference: the Spanish team's 11 goals in their first two matches are frightening, but the Italian defense has conceded only one, and Soncin's girls are eager to make history and return to top-flight football, 12 years later.
