Italy and Spain square off in a crucial Women's Euros group-stage clash on Friday, with plenty still riding on the outcome for both sides.
Spain have certainly lived up to their billing as tournament favourites, brushing aside Portugal with a dominant 5-0 display before putting six past Belgium in a thrilling 6-2 win. Despite the lopsided scoreline, it wasn't all smooth sailing. Alexia Putellas opened the scoring, but Justine Vanhaevermaet quickly levelled for Belgium. Irene Paredes restored Spain's lead before half-time, only for Hannah Eurlings to equalise once more after the break. However, Spain found another gear late on, with Esther Gonzalez, Mariona Caldentey, and Claudia Pina all finding the net in a late surge.
Italy's route has been less flashy but equally important. A gritty 1-0 win over Belgium, followed by a hard-fought 1-1 draw with Portugal, has kept their qualification hopes alive. Cristiana Girelli netted a brilliant strike to give the Azzurre the lead, and while Portugal had an equaliser chalked off for offside, Diana Gomes did eventually level the score in the 89th minute. Italy could still advance even with a loss, but their goal difference could prove decisive.

Italy boss Andrea Soncin may opt to stick with his tried-and-tested XI, with Roma's Elena Linari expected to anchor the back three alongside Juventus pair Cecilia Salvai and Martina Lenzini. Up front, Girelli remains the focal point, having hit four goals in her last five for the national team.
Spain team news
As for Spain, Montse Tomé might take a cautious approach with Ona Batlle and Laia Aleixandri, both walking a disciplinary tightrope with one yellow away from suspension. That could open the door for Jana Fernandez and Maria Mendez to step in. Elsewhere, Aitana Bonmatí, having eased back to fitness after a bout of viral meningitis, could finally get her first start after two substitute cameos.
