Spain and Italy opened their Euro 2012 campaign against each other in a 1-1 Group C encounter and they will bring the curtain down on the tournament when they contest the final on Sunday.

Head-to-head statistics

    Italy and Spain are facing each other for the 31st time in their history. The Azzurri have 10 wins and Spain have eight, while there have been 12 draws.

    The Azzurri are unbeaten against Spain at major tournaments (penalty shoot-outs excluded), with three wins and four draws. Nevertheless, Spain advanced in their last knockout encounter in the quarter-finals of Euro 2008 (0-0 after 120 mins, 4-2 after penalties).

    Cesare Prandelli has faced Spain twice as Italy head coach and has yet to lose. Italy beat them in a friendly in August 2011 (2-1) before drawing in their opening game at Euro 2012 (1-1).

    Spain have faced only 12 shots on target at Euro 2012. Half of those were against Italy in their opening game (6).

    Italy and Spain have had the most shots at Euro 2012 - 99 and 86 respectively.

Here is what people say about the Final and their Prediction:
Mark Lewonson "As good as Mario Balotelli was for Italy in their semi-final win over Germany, I can still see him doing something stupid or sulking in the final"- I give it to Spain

Phil McNulty's prediction "I tipped Spain before the start of Euro 2012 and will not back away from them now, despite Italy's ominous improvement."

"We haven't done anything yet, as it would be like going to Rome and not seeing the Pope. We are in the final, but we need the victory." - Italy's Andrea Pirlo .

"Italy and ourselves have lived parallel lives and now we have to be at the level that a final demands." - Spain coach Vicente del Bosque.

"We won the league at Manchester City so having a good season for me doesn't depend on winning the Euros," - Italy striker Mario Balotelli .

"We need to win, that much is obvious. If we do it, it'll be historic, but we still have to improve on a few things." - Spain midfielder David Silva .

"Spain are the favourites in terms of experience and consistency, but we are in there." - Italy coach Cesare Prandelli .

I give it to Spain with my Heart and Italy with my Head - Guess i have no true winner myself?

Who do give it to?
