“Why spend your time being sh*te at football in the pissing rain, when you can sit indoors and write about how sh*te the professionals are.” – Michael McKean

In Michael’s career as a copywriter and journalist, he’s written about everything from language and travel, to music, tech and sports – and has plied is trade in the UK, Switzerland, Brazil and a handful of EU nations. With a flair for writing everything from the pragmatic and serious, right down to the plain silly and ridiculous, Michael has earned a reputation among his fellow writers and editors for being the ultimate “Banterous Professional” (no one’s ever actually said that, he just made it up – coining the term “Banterous Professional” in the process).

Mike reached his current height of 6”2 before his 14th birthday, with his inability to head the ball leaving a great many youth coaches amazed and disappointed in equal measure at how useless he was in the box during set pieces, despite being a foot taller than everyone else around him.

(Sadly though his greatest achievement at betting.co.uk is being mistaken for another Michael).

A Clash of Titans

The first semi-final of the Euro 2020 will see the high-flying Italians taking on Spain at the Wembley Stadium. Italy have had a splendid tournament so far and are one of the favourites in the Euro 2020 Winner Odds. Meanwhile, despite their torrid start to the campaign, Spain looked a much better side in the last few games. Stay updated on all Euro 2020 News and Updates with us at Betting.co.uk.

Italy Euro 2020

Italy have been in spectacular form of late and are also on a 32-match unbeaten streak. Italy finished at the top of their group with 9 points and a goal difference of 7. They have won all five of their matches in the tournament while scoring 11 goals and conceding just twice. Italy have also kept 11 clean sheets in their last 13 matches while scoring 2+ goals in all but one of those matches.

Ciro Immobile and Lorenzo Insigne have been providing the attacking threat for the Italians. They have scored two goals each, while Marco Verratti has been the creative force in their midfield with two assists. Alongside their defence, the three of them will be crucial to their chances of winning this Italy vs Spain Euro 2020 semi-final tie.

Spain Euro 2020

The Spaniards had a nightmare start to their Euro 2020 campaign with COVID-19 cases and two draws in their opening matches against Sweden and Poland. As a result, they finished 2nd in Group E behind Sweden with 5 points and a goal difference of 5. Spain also had to play extra time in both of their knockouts against Croatia and Switzerland.

However, Spain are the highest-scoring team in the tournament with 14 goals and also kept two clean sheets. Morata, Torres and Sarabia are their leading goal scorers with two goals each, while Olmo and Moreno have assisted two goals each. Spain have clicked offensively in their recent matches and will need more of that to breach the Italian defence.

Italy vs Spain – Euro 2020 Tips and Predictions

Both sides have struggled in major tournaments since their 2012 Euro final matchup, which Spain won. Italy even failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup. However, the early exits of most of the tournament favourites coupled with an upturn in form see the Italians being tournament favourites alongside England. Nevertheless, Spain aren’t to be taken lightly, especially considering their recent scoring form. Hence, 888Sport’s both teams to score at 17/20 looks like the safest bet for the tie. You can also go for a riskier market like Italy to win and both teams to score bet at 9/2 odds.
