Spain, good debut, but…
Without a doubt, in the run-up to the game against Croatia, Spain positioned itself as one of the contenders for the championship, as a dangerous squad, but one that was going to have a rather complicated debut, but far from it the effectiveness came and the 3- 0 sentenced a match that looked different.
But don’t be fooled! Spain hit at the right moments, at the moments when things were worst and the data from the match defines it well, with a worse possession percentage (46% vs. 54%), the same number of shots on goal (5) and a worse total shot rate (11 vs. 16)so its debut, in the analysis was totally misleading.
Despite all this, playing with a certain irregularity, Spain beat one of the most dangerous teams on the old continent. Despite its clear defensive shortcomings, the Iberian team is more of a protagonist than ever.

Italy, an inauspicious debut
The defender of the title does not have the best of times, without striking figures they suffered to beat Albania, in fact from 20 seconds, Italy was already losing to its rival, conceding a “Baby football” goal, however that was only a scare, after all, from the 16th minute the Azzurra managed to turn the score around, one that did not move in the next 75 minutes.
Thus, unlike Spain, Italy was able to dominate its match, but due to its distractions and lack of decisive individuality, the Italians did not convince.
The same way, It must be said that Italy has only lost one match in the last 10 played, that one against England 3-1, adding 7 victories. Of course, Ukraine was the most difficult rival he beat.
An even history
Beyond the present, these squads have their past in the Euro Cup, with a total of 7 confrontations, where ties predominated in the 90 minutes, 4 times they tied (with one victory per side on penalties). Thus, Italy slightly prevails, with 2 victories, against one of the Spanish.
Although in the history of the Euro, Only once was the 2.5 goals exceededthe pace of this tournament has been striking, reaching this percentage of goals per game.
