European Champions Italy are on course to add a second title to their honours list in just a few short months.
Standing in their way are Spain this evening and the winners of the other UEFA Nations League semi-final between Belgium and France.
The Italians can look forward to home advantage with all four remaining matches taking place in Milan and Turin, the final being hosted at the San Siro on Sunday night.
Despite some iffy draws with Bulgaria and Switzerland post-Euro 2020, the feel-good factor remains with the Italian squad who are now unbeaten in 37 matches – a world record at international level.
It was the Italians who ended Spain's European Championship hopes, knocking them out on penalties after a 1-1 draw. The Spaniards had a disappointing tournament overall, drawing with Sweden and Poland and have subsequntly lost to Sweden in World Cup qualifying. It's fair to say they're not of the same vintage as the all-conquering 2008-2012.
With all that in mind the 5/4 on Italy to win looks generous, especially with home advantage behind them. KevMac has found some more betting angles in his match preview.

** THIS IS NOT A NAP **
rubbish late night card so just one bet on an away goal, and this is more gut feeling than logic 😉
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Avai v Ponte Preta
23:00
Brazilian Serie B
Ponte preta to score 5-6 (SKYBET)
Everything is wrong stats wise here.
Head to head here is appalling, avai are strong at home and don’t concede many, and ponte are shit away.
Only glimmer of hope is ponte have scored in their last 4 games in the last 12 days.
That’s it, case for the prosecution complete😁.
Like I say my gut is telling me the final score will be 1-1 or 2-1, that on stats would be a goal avalanche, hope my gut is right.
Most likely score 1-0, hoping for 1-1 or 2-1 obviously.
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Didn’t sell this very well did I but my fat gut was right and ponte scored in the 50th minute.
🇧🇷 Winner 🇧🇷
Great stuff Parsley 👍
No joy with late Brazilian betbuilder, corners fall a few short so free £10 bet.
Betfair have their offer bet £20 on multiples for free £10 bet each day. Great offer as can bet 10 £2 bets or 2 £10 bets. 1st £10 bet just under EVENS at Corinthians v Bahia 01.30 KO. 2+ gls & 9+ cards.
Free tenner has to be used within 24 hrs of bet settlement
that’s a good offer, just resurrected my old account. any idea how long you have to reach the £20 total? i’m hoping to do it once a week as i’m not a big gambler. it looks as tho the bets have to settle within 48 hour period, so hopefully i can place bets over a weekend and get the £10 on the monday? cheers for sharing it

At HILLS……
Recife are a nightmare and will play for a 0-0 as usual which they often achieve but themselves have not scored at home for 6 games f.f.s.
JUVENTUDE have improved recently and have scored in their last 11 games, including a 1-1 at continental champions palmeiras just 3 days ago.
——————————————————–
Goianese score more away than at home and paranese score more at home than away, hoping they both both buck the trend and do the opposite.
