Finally, it is time for some action. Cheesy

We are going to have the semi-final matches today and tomorrow. Today, Italy are gonna be hosting Spain in Giuseppe Meazza. Italy have a really huge advantage I think. Because I think that they are the better side and have a stadium advantage also. This mean that we will see Italian supporters many more. My favourite team in this match is definitely Italy considering the general forms of these teams. Maybe it will be a really competitive match but Italy should be able to win at the end.

Italy has a pretty good record when dealing with Spain so far, moreover they came as Euro 2020 champions and of course this will make them favorites to qualify for the final, besides that Italy has the advantage of playing at home and of course the support of the citizens italy will make their mentality even higher in facing spain, i personally hope italy will be able to beat spain like in the semifinal of euro last year.

I think Italy will win today and the odd is really good considering that they are playing at home,odd is at 2.25 which is really high for a team like Italy.I think they will win easily against a team like Spain which isn't in their best condition,having failed the Euro and losing to Sweden and teams of not that really high caliber.We should take profit from this odd and even to be sure play a handicap game of Italy starting the game 1-0 at almost 1.5 odd which I believe it is a sure bet.

However in gambling things like sure bet don't really exist so do your own research before betting blindly following my advice.

Players of Italy have good forms so far and it is plus point for them in this match. Spain have minus point because they will not have Dani Olmo and Pedri for this match. They are most impressive players in the Euro 2020 semi final match.

Spain have a good team with talented players but Pedri and Olmo are important for them. This match is interesting to see will Spain dominate it with ball possession or Italy will do it. Italy did not have good records in recent matches with Spain.

^Italy vs. Belgium would be a great final match, that's my prediction Cool

I don't think neither of the other 3 teams can compete with France. They are too strong on the paper versus the others.

Spain is in the decline phase and Italy is back in the rising phase, will be an interesting match for sure in the final they can both compete with Belgium if they manage to win somehow... but with France, they have no chance.

From the depths of the existing squad, France actually has a very good opportunity for this and in fact even at Euro 2020 they are predicted to be champions.
but unfortunately sometimes this French game is not stable even though it is strengthened by players who are quite capable in all fields.
I don't know what's the problem here when with players who are really good in all areas, France is still not stable in performance.
even when looking at the current fifa rank, the position of france dropped to 3rd position overtook by brazil.

Italy is in great form and I expect them to do well against Spain that is missing real threat in attack.

In other game I can't decide who to favour. I would prefer for Belgium to pass just because of their attacking and very watchable style of play but France is a tournament team and their defense is more than ready to keep Lukaku and co away from the goal while being dangerous in counter attacks.

That's exactly what i think. The match between Italy and Spain will decide the winner of the Nations League. In the European Championship (Semifinals) it was 50/50 and Italy fortunately won it in the penalty shootout. Italy v Belgium match will be strong offensively. Italy vs Spain it is dominated by tactics.

Slava Ukraini!

It's second season of Nations League and I still don't get what's is exact format of this tournament and what's the whole point of it.
Nevermind. Both semifinals looks exciting. In Italy - Spain game I would give advantage to Italy. They still continue amazing record breaking series without defeats and they will play at home.
About Belgium - France game, I will tell my opinion later on matchday.

after almost a year, there are semi-finals in Nations league, with two matches:
Italy vs Spain - tomorrow in Milan
Belgium vs France - Thursday in Turin

both matches could go on any side, but I expect Italy to be under2.5 goals and Belgium to be over2.5 goals

A year, well almost, to see this competition resuming.
Italy - Spain match is quite challenging but Italian showed a great skill in EURO especially. Odds are also backing Italy @2.2 vs @3.4 for Spain.
Belgium - France is also Interesting, Belgium is a hard team while France dropped a lot in performance. Although odds are in favor of France @2.5, I think Belgium could win @2.9, it all depends from how bad France will play..

Thanks for this, I totally forgot - too many competitions in a short period of time Grin

This time around we have much better teams in the semifinals, any one of them can lift the trophy. Belgium has problems in defence and France will miss Kante, but I still feel these 2 teams have a slighter advantage over Italy and Spain. I'm tipping on France to win it.

Belgium has a good chance of winning this match because France is not looking very confident right now. It would seem a very strong team, but they lost points in many matches, even with not the strongest teams. I agree that there can be many goals scored in a match, both teams have good attacking, and both have strong forwards who score a lot of goals.

I mistakenly thought this was World Cup qualification games actually, since the teams are all the same in Europe and no idea we are back in Nations League. I wonder what happens to this format if the new World Cup proposal is accepted where it would be played every 2 years instead of 4!

I back Italy and France for this one. One to extend their non-lose streak and one to regain confidence.

I wouldn't be so confident of France.. they have few absolutely world clas players, like Mbappe, but good players isn't enough. A chemistry between players is essential. And it needs proper circumstances to reach that
And France has recently problems even with Finland.

@Snipie Eden Hazard is Belgian not Spaniard, he only play in spanish Real

lol I meant hazardous and not Hazard the player Cheesy

What I meant is Italy is favourites to win that game unless there will be penalties Wink

The problems with Finland are not real problems.France just took them easy as they were not playing full power because they didn’t need this.When it will come to real clashes like for example against Belgium they will absolutely go full power and would be a great game to watch.

Yeah I expect to see France in the final, it would be a surprise if they will not qualify.
For Spain and Italy, I think Italy will win but I am not sure. There might be even decisive penalty kicks and then there will be just a pure hazard?
