Italy vs Spain score prediction
On paper, this looks like a barnstormer. The Euro semi-final between the pair back in July was a terrific encounter full of drama and suspense.
Although the stakes are not quite as high this time around - no offence Nations League stans - both teams will still be extremely motivated to clinch some silverware.
In the end, Spain's lengthy injury list and the fact that Italy are playing 'at home' should ensure that Gli Azzurri extend their unbeaten record to 38 games.
Prediction: Italy 2-1 Spain
