The duel can mark the future of each of the teams in the tournament, since only the first of each of the groups has insured the ticket for the semifinals. The fourth selection that reaches the next round will be among the best seconds.

Consolidated group

The great strength of the Spanish U21 team is that the group knows each other very well, since they have been playing together for years. A strong and consolidated block in which names like those of Vallejo, Ceballos, Jorge Meré or Mayoral stand out. This poker of players already disputed the European of the 2017, in which they finished being runners-up.

The great doubt in the eleven of Spain is under the three sticks, where both Unai Simon and Antonio Sivera can be made with the ownership. What seems clearer is that the National Team will start with a 4-3-3, in which Vallejo and Meré will form the central pair with Aaron Martín and Martín Aguirregabiria on the wings. Meanwhile, the center of the field is formed by three 'gamers' with Mikel Merino, Fabián Ruiz and Dani Ceballos.

De la Fuente is committed to a colorful football, in which technique and strength appear in a balanced way. In his trident three consecrated footballers are placed. His '9' is still Borja Mayoral, but on the side of the Real Madrid squad they are positioned two players called to lead the Absolute in just a few years: Carlos Soler and Oyarzabal.

Italy wants to win at home

Five times has been proclaimed champion of Europe sub21 the Azzurra. Now they are going for the sixth pitch and, moreover, at home, so the pressure is double, but also the environment in their favor. Spain is unbeaten since last September, accumulating since then six victories and only one draw. But Italy has one of the most imposing teams.

At the controls is the mythical Di Bagio are several young players who alternate the sub21 with the Italy of Mancini. Moise Kean, Barella, Zaniolo, Pellegrini or Chiesa are some of these names already established in the elite, who, like the Spanish team, will form in the traditional 4-3-3.

Moise Kean is the strong man of this selection. But the great doubt of Di Bagio is who will form together with him the dangerous trident that will put the Spaniards in trouble. Cutrone has ballots to act as a reference, while in the bands point to Chiesa and Orsolini.
