The UEFA Euros U19 Semi-Final match between Spain U19 and Italy U19 will take place at Ta'Qali National Stadium on Friday at 12:30 am IST.
Spain Under-19s, with the goal of reaching their 10th European Under-19 Championship final, will face Italy Under-19s in the semi-finals. Italy, who have reached the final four on four previous occasions, secured their spot by finishing second in Group A, while Spain comfortably progressed without suffering any defeats. The teams will clash at Malta’s Ta’Qali National Stadium as they will look for a place in the final.
Spain’s Under-19 team has advanced to the semi-finals of the European Under-19 Championship 2023 in impressive fashion. They topped both the qualifying round and elite round as group winners, and in Malta, they secured seven points from three matches while conceding only one goal. This achievement marks Spain’s 11th appearance in the semi-finals of the tournament. In the past, Spanish Under-19 teams have been successful in lifting the Under-19 Euros trophy on eight occasions, with their most recent victory coming in 2019 against Portugal in the final, thanks to a brace from Ferran Torres.
In contrast to Spain’s smooth journey to the finals, Italy faced a more challenging path. After finishing third in the qualifying round, they went on to win Group 2 in the elite round, surpassing Germany and Belgium. This marks Italy’s eighth appearance in the semi-finals at this level. Their last victory in the Euro Under-19 tournament occurred 20 years ago when Giampaolo Pazzini played a pivotal role, scoring in both knockout rounds, and Portugal ended up as runners-up.
Spain U19 probable starting lineup: Iribarne, Fresneda, Casas, Gasiorowski, Valle, Garrido, Palacios, Garcia, Akhomach, Perez, Barbera
Italy U19 probable starting lineup: Mastrantonio, Dellavalle, Chiarodia, Regonesi, Missori, Ndour, Faticanti, Kayode, Hasa, Vignato, Esposito
