Italy, who triumphed at Euro 2020, will be looking to continue their fine form under manager Roberto Mancini. They have won seven and drawn three of their last 10 matches at the UEFA European Championships, including a memorable penalty shootout victory over Spain in the semi-finals of the previous Euros.

Luis Enrique's side will be looking to avenge their defeat to Italy at Wembley and reach the Nations League final for the first time.

The match is expected to be a close and entertaining affair, with both teams possessing plenty of attacking quality. Italy will be looking to the likes of Federico Chiesa, Lorenzo Insigne, and Ciro Immobile to provide the goals, while Spain will be hoping for inspiration from Ferran Torres, Alvaro Morata, and Gavi.

The winner of the semi-final will face Croatia in the Nations League final on Sunday, June 18, 2023. The match will be a repeat of the 2018 World Cup semi-final, which Croatia won 3-1 after extra time.
