Dugout Discussion – Italy vs Spain

756 Comments
Share

The Round of 16 is concluded today with a couple more fixtures for Fantasy managers to consider.

First up at 5pm, Italy take on Spain for the right to meet Germany in the quarter-finals.

Both sides will be looking to bounce back from respective defeats to Republic of Ireland and Croatia in the final round of group matches.

Having swept aside Belgium and Sweden in their first couple of fixtures, Antonio Conte’s men will be confident of overcoming the defending champions, though will need to make do without the injured Antonio Candreva this afternoon.

The stats are somewhat in Spain’s favour for this one, though. Despite scoring just once more than The Azzurri so far, Vicente del Bosque’s side fired more than double the number of attempts on goal (51 to 25) and have allowed their opponents just 27 attempts on goal compared to Italy’s 34.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      Pretty clear assist - De Gea got a touch onto it, it hit Giaccherini's foot and fell to Chiellini.

      Giaccherini's was the last touch before the goal.

      (I own KDB and don't own Giaccherini)

      Looking at LVGs past the only season he did well was in the late 90s with Ajax. All his other major managements were looked at as failures. Conte has a better track record than LVG did
