Daily Dynamo Selections – Spain v Italy

Betting Tips, Dynamo Bet | Article posted on March 2nd, 2025

One of the most iconic international matches of all takes place this week as the nation which has won their last three major championships hosts one of the most successful in international football history.

Spain play Italy in a friendly which will garner a great deal of attention around the world. The home side's air of invincibility has perhaps slipped slightly given the power of German football in Europe and some occasional indifferent performances from Barcelona and Real Madrid, but they retain a squad of awesome depth and quality. By contrast, this is a bit of a lean time for Italian football in every sense, but it is never wise to write off the Azzurri in any fixture.

Nonetheless, the gulf in quality between the teams is reflected by Spain's heavy odds on status to win this one. Their recent form has been good enough to warrant this, with the reigning World champions qualifying for the Brazilian tournament from a tough group including France. Italy will be there too, of course, but they certainly don't have the sort of incandescently brilliant players to pick from in midfield that Spain currently take for granted.

Thus, all evidence points to a home victory in this one, but the prevailing approach of the Italians suggests that this could be a pretty low-scoring affair, with Spain retaining the ball for long periods. A narrow Spain victory, and a match for the purists, seems highly likely.
