After winning the second-ever European Championship crown in 1964, Spain appeared in only six of the following 10 tournaments and failed to win another title. The Spanish side ended the drought in 2008 and made it back-to-back championships four years later before being ousted by the Italians in the round of 16 in 2016. Spain will have revenge on its mind Tuesday as it faces Italy in the Euro 2020 semifinals. La Roja played to a 1-1 draw against Switzerland in the quarterfinals but advanced on penalty kicks, while the Italians reached this stage by posting a 2-1 victory over Belgium.
Kickoff from Wembley Stadium in London is scheduled for 3 p.m. ET. The latest Italy vs. Spain odds from William Hill Sportsbook list Italy as +140 favorites (risk $100 to win $140), while the over-under for total goals scored is 2.5.

Top Euro 2020 predictions for Spain vs. Italy
The model is leaning over 2.5 goals in Tuesday's matchup between Italy and Spain. There's no shortage of potential scorers on Italy's roster, as four players have recorded two goals in the tournament while five registered three or more during qualifying. Ciro Immobile and Lorenzo Insigne are on both lists, with each netting a trio of tallies in four qualifying games. Manuel Locatelli converted twice in a 3-0 triumph over Switzerland during group-stage action, while Matteo Pessina also has scored a pair of goals, including the game-winner versus Austria in the round of 16.
Spain is not far behind the Italians, as it has three players who enter Tuesday with two goals in the competition. To no one's surprise, one of them is Alvaro Morata, who also scored four times in six qualifying matches. The 28-year-old forward netted three tallies at Euro 2016 and is the only member of the squad with a double-digit goal total (21) during international play.
