Spain U21 and Italy U21, two of the favorites at the UEFA U21 Championships in Poland will be facing off in the semifinals of the tournament on Tuesday 27th June in what promises to be a cracker as the championship enters the second round. Both teams topped their respective pools in the first stage, Spain advancing on a perfect record in Group B, while Italy advanced despite losing one of their three games in Group C. The Spaniards head to the game on a run of 12 matches unbeaten. They have won each of their last five matches, scoring 14 goals and conceding just three; they will be seeking to bag their third win in history over their Italian counterparts while at the same time looking to secure a place in the final. Italy on the other hand, have scores to settle with Spain, having lost the last two meetings between the two teams and will be hoping to stem the patchy run they have had ahead of this clash. The Italians have won three and lost two of their last five matches, in the process scoring seven and conceding six. With three losses in their last 10 matches, one issue the Italians will be keen on is a bad defensive run that has seen them concede in each of their last five matches. Each of the last three matches between the two sides has yielded over 2.5 goals. Head to head, the teams have faced off four times in history and Spain have won two while Italy have one win.
