A classic battle between Italy vs. Spain is a dream Semi-final that kicks off tonight at 20:00 GMT.

If history is a predictor of who the favorite in this amazing semi-final match will be, Spain has the advantage. Italy has only been able to beat the Spaniards twice in their last 14 meetings across all competitions, with 7 draws and 5 losses. The two wins came in one friendly match in 2011 and more recently, a big 2-0 win in the 2016 Euro Championships in the round of 16. 

The matches between Italy and Spain are quite common across global competitions. They have met nine times across all Euro/World Cup competitions and Italy actually has the advantage here with 4-wins and 4-draws, while Spain has only one. Tonight's match will make this fixture the most played among all European nations. 

Italy has definitely had more success in reaching the semifinal stage of major tournaments, with this being their 12th semi-final. Only Germany has more, with 20. Italy is also the only team in this tournament to remain lossless, which is only the second time in a tournament that they have won so many matches. 

Either way, the winner of tonight's match will face the winner of England vs. Denmark semi-final tomorrow night.
