Italy  vs Spain

Today March 24, 2016 at 2:45 central time Italy and Spain will play .

The champions Spain travel to Udine on Thursday, where they'll hope a friendly victory over hosts Italy will extend their seven-match winning streak and set them on course for a successful title defence at Euro 2016.The Euro 2012 finalists will play their first match of the calendar year under non-competitive circumstances, but with this summer's continental showcase now just three months away, the pressure to find form is mounting.While Spain's recent run has been solid, the Azzurri are without a win in their last two outings, and outgoing manager Antonio Conte knows a quick turnaround is needed if he's to escape a gruesome Group E lineup in France.
