In the semifinals later, it looks like Italy will be the team that will be seeded because in five matches, Italy has always won Turkey, Switzerland, Wales, Austria, and Belgium were the teams that Italy defeated at Euro 2020.
and in that win Italy showed a strong defense by conceding only two goals which I think is much better than Spain.
however the game may change as both have ambitions to advance to the final and it will be a very interesting match as both have different styles of play.

Italy face Spain in the first semi-final of this year’s European Championship ,Spain reached the last four by the skin of their teeth thanks to goalkeeper Unai Simon’s heroics in a penalty shoot-out against 10-man switzerland on friday Italy have been the most consistent team at the finals, impressing with a well-drilled style of play based on pressing and counter-attacking.the match is very dificult for both team ,statistics say italy have more chance for win but spain can make surprise and reach the final

From a pure betting and gambling perspective Italy Spain is a great match: there are so many stats and data to look for before placing this bet that one could go nuts.
A few hints:
ITA: The Azzurri are unbeaten in their last 32 international matches (27 wins, five draws)
ESP: La Roja leads the tournament with 12 goals
The Italians have scored an average of 2.67 goals over their last 12 games and they could be scoring at least twice over regular times.
Spain's best attack could do the rest so a great bet for this game is over 2.5 goals.

I don't think that statistics on all games without sorting by the importance/strength of the opponent has any value. In fact, this match has every chance of a goalless draw. Both teams have enough skill to defend themselves and no one will risk in the semi-finals for no particular reason.
The match is likely to be a draw. Italy's defense is very strong. Defenders of spin are also very experienced. Spain has conceded many goals though. However, they followed the attacking strategy so they conceded too many goals. They don’t look like they will play so aggressively against Italy. Both teams will want to not concede goals..

today at 9pm it's finally time. i think we'll see the best and most interesting duel of this em. two very good teams will play each other today.
but only one will make it to the final. i hope the italians will make it today. they've played great football so far and i've really enjoyed watching these games.
i'm especially looking forward to the italian number 10. Lorenzo Insigne is a perfect footballer. i hope he will perform as well today as he has in the last few games.

I haven't been impressed with Spain at all in this tournament, and I believe Italy will win convincingly. I'm going with a 3-0 victory to Italy, which I believe was around 23.0 odds. I don't see Spain scoring, and if they do I only see them nabbing the one goal. While, Italy has been very impressive both in defense, and attack. I can see them either winning 2-0, 2-1, 3-0 or 3-1.
I did feel like they were frustrating more than beautiful, and agree Italy should win this -- if both replicate their past form for the last 5 matches, where Italy have been imperious and bold, while Spain careful and second-guessing.
You've just inspired me to go for a correct score, I will pick 3-1 instead -- 26/1 and should get a nice boost if I wait for it.

I remember your comment about England vs Wales, and how that can be a surprise... 0 - 0 in the end! I believe a surprise for many of us, but not for you!
Except for over 2.5 goals I didn't make any other bets for tonight's game, I will probably bet on Italy to qualify, but after reading your comment I think to place one clear win on Italy!
Slow Death and Welsh have the same prediction 2 - 1, will be interesting to hit the correct score! I will probably place some little bet on this!
Good luck all!

Today we have the first game of the semifinals:
Italy vs Spain
This is perhaps the most anticipated game of this phase.
I believe it will be a very balanced game with few goals. I see Italy with more capacity to win, phase to the performance of Spain. But of course Spain have great players who can really make a difference. If the game goes to extra time, I wouldn't be surprised.

I do not know about that. England fans are so hungry most of them were not even born the last time they won a cup so they will want to give everything to get into the final to meet another giant. They already won against Germany (but it was not a favorite) so they are confident.
Italy looks like the one to go through though but you are right I think this has extra time all over it.

My guess, Schick and Ronaldo will win.
There will be only one winner for the Euro Golden Boot and Ronaldo will win in case of tie because total number of assist will be the tie breaker for it. So in this case, Ronaldo had 1 assist while Schick had none but Sterling could be one of the potential candidate to win as well though considering that he currently has 3 goals and 1 assist with 2 games left to go
Im not a fan of Sterling but I personally think he has the potential to score against Denmark though
I think the same as you, in this case I would like Ronaldo to win because he is a very complete player, unfortunately they could not advance much, but in terms of technique and as an athlete Ronaldo is very complete.
Quote
UEFA, however, have stated that in the event of a tie, assists would determine the winner, and with one to his name, against Germany, Cristiano would edge the award. Both these players can only now be caught by a player representing Denmark, Italy, England or Spain.
Source: https://en.as.com/en/2021/07/03/football/1625339258_923332.htmlI think that with these signs the one who can win the victory will be Ronaldo. In the same way, you have to wait.

As expected, most of the sportsbooks have given Italy a slightly higher chance of winning. From what I could see, Italy is at +130 to +160, while odds for Spain range from +200 to +220 (the same odds are given for draw after regulation time). One interesting thing to note at this point. Italy has so far conceded two goals in this tourmament. One of them was from a penalty kick which was converted in to goal by Belgian star Romelu Lukaku. The only other goal was scored by Saša Kalajdžić of Austria during extra-time.
with so many difficulties that spain had, the oddsmakers are more optimistic in italy's victory due to its solidity in all games. Italy has good defense and good attack, while Spain seems to be bad at everything.
for this game my bets will go to:
1 - BTTS
2 - Italy will win ( Italy 2-1 Spain )

The odds in favor of Italy that I have seen in several bookmakers show that it is not an easy match for Italians despite their favoritism, which I repeat is not very reflected in the odds, that shows that the odds do not always take into account the current moment that cannot be seen reflected in the odds formula, so 2.5 (eg) is a gift for those of us who bet on Italy, a good chance to win.
July 06, 2021, 07:57:58 AM
Dolberg to win Golden Boot with 4 goals but England still passing through with scorers other than Sterling and Kane? What do you think the odds are for that?
According to my information, Dolberg has only 3 goals yet. This is the official current list from UEFA:
5 goals:
Patrik Schick
Cristiano Ronaldo
4 goals:
Karim Benzema
Emil Forsberg
Romelu Lukaku
3 goals:
Kasper Dolberg
Harry Kane
Robert Lewandowski
Dolberg needs to score at least 3 more goals in the remaining two matches to become best striker and I doubt he will make it against England and maybe Spain/Italy.
My guess, Schick and Ronaldo will win.

If Italy attacks today, I'm sure they will go through. Spain was bad in all parts of the games in which they had to defend and Italy has both enough offensive threat and pressing quality to put the spanish team on the back foot.
Italy will miss Spinazzola though, he was one of their best players in this EURO. Not even sure who'll take his place, probably Emerson.
I'm rooting for Italy - England final, they deserved it the most so far.

It is a matchday finally!
We are going to see a great game between Italy and Spain in Wembley Stadium. We have one missing player each for both of these teams (Spinazzola (ITA), Sarabia (SPA)). Italy seem to me as one step ahead. They played superbly against Belgium and deserved to eliminate them. They have a really good football discipline. When it comes to Spain, they had big difficulty in eliminating Switzerland. I know that Switzerland eliminated France in the previous round but I'd expect more from Spain.
Still, I think that we will see a close and competitive game. Maybe we can even see extra time and penalty shoot-outs. But at the end, I think that Italy will be victorious and will promote to the final.

The performance of Italy have been superb at this tournament as even the mighty Belgium are being knocked out from the tournament by Italy. It has not been a smooth journey for Spain to reach the semi finals as both Croatia and Switzerland have managed to force Spain into extra time in order to decide the winner. With Italy in such excellent form, I think the best Spain could do today will be to force the game into extra time again to decide the winner of the match.
I don't think this is a good strategy for Spain. Playing to draw, to take the game to extra time is very risky.
Spain had to go into extra-time twice in previous matches, creating greater physical strain. Italy has not had so many difficulties, and in turn has less physical wear.
