Sky Sports Football, 8pm Sunday
There will be a big crowd in Bologna and that home advantage could help Italy to make a statement early in the tournament by beating Spain.
Luigi Di Biagio has been handed a boost with many of those who have gained promotion to the senior squad dropping back down to Under-21 level.
A Lorenzo Pellegrini, Nicolo Zaniolo and Nicolo Barella midfield would match up well with whatever Spain serve up and there is more potency to the Azzurri in the final third.
Federico Chiesa adds penetration from the wings and Milan's Patrick Cutrone and Juventus's Moise Kean are lethal in the penalty box.
Recommendation
Italy draw no bet
1pt 21-20 general
