La Roja have roared into the last eight off the back of two commanding performances, racking up 11 goals by beating Portugal 5-0 and Belgium 6-2 (leaving them only three off England's record of 14 in a single group set in 2022). Despite being pegged back in their 1-1 draw against Portugal, Italy can join Spain in the quarter-finals with a point here.

Italy will reach the quarter-finals if they avoid defeat by Spain or if Portugal do not beat Belgium. If Italy lose and Portugal win, they will be split for second and third place on overall goal difference, then overall goals scored, then lower disciplinary points then higher position in the overall European Qualifiers phase rankings. Italy will finish first if they win.

Spain are through to the quarter-finals. They will finish first if they avoid defeat by Italy.

Reporters' views

Francesco Corda, Italy reporter
The draw against Portugal denied Italy qualification, but everything is still in their hands. Not losing this last match would be enough but the problem is they face Spain. Andrea Soncin's team will have to be at their best to get a positive result and avoid the calculations if Portugal beat Belgium. But with Cristiana Girelli in the form that has won more admirers in Switzerland, the Azzurre are allowed to dream.

Andrea De Ferrater, Spain reporter
Spain have been one of the most solid and effective teams in the tournament, those 11 goals reflecting their ambition. Alexia Putellas and Esther González, joint-top scorers with three goals each, lead a side that excels tactically with high pressing, smart possession and great movement. Already through to the quarter-finals, Spain will want to secure top spot in Group B.

What the coaches say

Andrea Soncin, Italy coach: "It's a very different game to the others, so there will definitely be a tactical aspect to take care of. Then there's the issue that several girls have spent so much energy. We have players one booking away from a suspension and we need to manage that as best we can, but we also know it's a high-level match. I still have a lot of time to evaluate all things and there's still a lot of time to see the fire in all the players. For now, it's there and I'm happy with that.

"The players are very confident, and they're determined to go and get what we all deserve. So, the immediate disappointment after the final minutes of the equaliser [against Portugal] has already been put aside. Now, there's the desire to go and get it in a completely different match against Spain".

Montse Tomé, Spain coach: "[Winning] would mean doing the job well and executing the plan. The team are on a good run. We have some great goals to fight for, like finishing top of the group."

"Italy are a very competitive team, they try to defend well, they get players into the box very quickly, they attack with direct play and second balls, and I think they have experienced players. It’s going to be a very hard-fought match."
