Group Stage Clash Between Two European Giants

Italy and Spain to Face Off in Crucial Group B Encounter

All the latest UEFA EURO Group stage match information including stats from history and more. Both sides won their opening Euro 2024 games albeit in very different manners. Spain cruised past Croatia 3-0 while reigning European champions, Italy, edged past Bosnia-Herzegovina 2-1. This promises to be a fascinating encounter between two of the tournament favorites.

Italy, the Euro 2020 champions, will be looking to continue their impressive form and extend their unbeaten run in the competition. They will be confident of getting a result against Spain, having won the last two meetings between the two sides.

Spain, on the other hand, will be keen to avenge their defeat to Italy in the Euro 2012 final. They have a strong squad and will be confident of beating Italy if they can play to their potential.
