Captain Options

Lorenzo Insigne can bring home handsome points. He has three assists in the Uefa Nations League in four games.

Ferran Torres has been in great form for club and country. He has four goals in six games in the Nations League.

Differential Pick

Nico Barella could be a shrewd differential pick. He has one goal and one assist for the national side in six games.

Defenders – E Palmieri, G Di Lorenzo, A Laporte, P Torres
Midfielders – M Veratti, N Barella, Koke
Forwards – F Chiesa, L Insigne, F Torres

Likely Winner:

• Since losing to Portugal in the inaugural UEFA Nations League in 2018, Italy has gone 38 games without losing.
• This will be the 35th time Italy and Spain have met. La Roja has won 12 of the past 34 games, while the Azzurri have won ten (12 draws).
• Spain, on the other hand, has only won one of their last five meetings with Italy, a 3-0 victory in a World Cup qualifier in 2017.
• Lorenzo Insigne will make his 50th appearance for Italy if he plays on Wednesday. He is the highest goal scorer for the Azzurri in the current roster, with ten goals.
• It should be a cagey game and Italy are marginal favorites considering they are playing at home.

Match Odds: 

Italy: 23/18
Spain: 3/1
