Italy v Spain predictions and football betting tips for tonight’s international friendly match with an anytime goalscorer tip and team to win prediction.
Both these sides are assembling their squads for a tilt at Euro 2016 this summer and this friendly may give us a few indicators ahead of the summer tournament.
Italy vs Spain Betting Preview
Spain saw off England in their last friendly and kept a clean sheet and once again they will be fancied by man to get their hands on the trophy in July. They haven’t conceded a goal since June 2015 when they beat Costa Rica 2-1. That’s an impressive six clean sheets in a row for La Roja.

Spain have also had the monopoly in this fixture, Italy haven’t beaten this opposition since 2011 and have lost the last three encounters.
With Italy not entirely convincing of late and perhaps the news of Conte’s departure slightly affecting the players, I wouldn’t be surprised if they come away with nothing from this match.
They are the kind of team who fail to impress in non-competitive games, but will turn on the style on the big stage.
Spain vs Italy: Spain Team News
These will be experimental line ups for both sides in Udine on Thursday evening and it’s a call up for Adritz Adruiz that will have surprised many for Spain. Vincente Del Bosque has called up the Atletico Bilbao striker after a productive season in La Liga.
There has been plenty of coverage back in Spain about the call up of the 35-year-old, but the omission of Diego Costa and Dani Carvaljal have raised a few eyebrows too.
Spain vs Italy: Italy Team News
There is uncertainty about the Italians this summer with Antonio Conte making an exit after the Euros. He has recalled Thiago Motta for this game and many will fancy the Italians to progress to the latter stages of the tournament. They have been disappointing in their last two friendlies though, particularly their collapse at the hands of Belgium, especially after going 1-0 up after just three minutes.
Italy vs Spain Predictions
It always seems to be tight whenever these sides come up against one another. Three of the last four have finished with one or two goals. I can see this going the same way especially with Spain’s defensive strength of late. My first Italy v Spain prediction is for Under 2.5 goals in the game. It can be backed at 8/15 with Coral.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see Spain win this match. After watching the way the Italians fell apart against Belgium, It’s hard to see them claiming victory here. Spain beat England in their last friendly and their penchant for keeping clean sheets points be towards an away win. My second Italy v Spain betting tip is for Spain to win. It can be backed at 29/20 with Paddy Power.

Finally, as it’s a call up which has been largely called for in the Spanish media, Aritz Adruiz should get some minutes on the pitch. He has been firing them in domestically so will be full of confidence. My third Italy v Spain prediction is an anytime goalscorer tip and Aritz Adruiz to score anytime. He can be backed at 28/13 with 888Sport.
