Italy are ready to battle it out with Spain in their second group stage match of Euro 2024, a match that could prove decisive in Group B.

The clash between la Roja and the Azzurri kicks off at 20.00 UK time at the Veltins-Arena in Gelsenkirchen on June 20th.

Italy worked hard to pick up an important 2-1 victory over Albania in their opening game of the tournament in Germany, coming back from behind to snatch all three points in a key match, helping resolve some concerns from supporters.

Spain also got off to a strong start at the European Championship, flying to a 3-0 win over a lacklustre Croatia to put one foot in the Round of 16 of the tournament, looking dynamic and unpredictable under the guidance of Luis de la Fuente.

The Azzurri are not expected to make any changes to their starting lineup for the Group B clash, having a fully fit squad. Spain can also count on all their players, although there are some minor concerns surrounding Alvaro Morata and Rodri.
