Spain vs England Prediction, Odds, Tips | Euros Final Preview

Kick-off time: 20:00 (BST) 14th July / Olympiastadion Berlin / H2H: 27 – 10W, 3D, 14L

Spain Football Team:
Having won the Euros three times before, mostly recently in 2008 and 2012 back-to-back, Spain will be looking to add a fourth to their tally,  which would take them past Germany and leave them with a record-topping number of Euros trophies. After overcoming Croatia, Italy and Albania with three successive wins in the Qualifying stages, Spain’s victory against Georgia in the Round of 16 was defiant at 4-1. A Quarter-Final against Germany took extra time to put to bed and another incredibly difficult game against France in the Semi-Finals saw them win 2-1 and cement their place in the Final 2 for this Sunday’s game.
  Under the guidance of manager Luis de la Fuente, they welcome back both Le Normand and Carvajal from suspension, but will still be without Pedri who went off injured against Germany. Perhaps their greatest treasure so far, youngster Lamine Yamal, who scored a scorcher against France to become the record-holder of the youngest Euros goal, will be fit and ready to try and make history again, while early injury concerns for vice-captain Álvaro Morata have been downplayed, meaning it is likely that he will feature in the starting line-up as well. With Olmo on 3 goals and only one player left to contest him for the Euros Golden Boot, expect to see him pushing as well.

England Football Team:
Their second back-to-back final in the Euros after they were beaten by Italy in 2020, England will be looking to finally get their hands on a coveted International trophy after a 58 year drought that has seemed to stretch forever. A less than convincing qualifying round beating Serbia and then drawing to Denmark and Slovenia didn’t help their confidence, not to mention a Round of 16 game against Slovakia that required a last-minute goal to get them over the line. However their Quarter-Final game, while sluggish, saw them dispatch 5 perfect penalties, and their Semi-Final match against Netherlands finally showed what they can do when they put their mind to it, securing a win with another last-minute winner, this time by substitute Ollie Watkins.
  Under the scrutiny of Gareth Southgate, who according to rumours will be the beneficiary of a knighthood upon his return, England have a full squad available and strong performances from Saka and Foden will likely see their inclusion in the line-up. While Kane hasn’t been at his best, his bullet-proof penalty tactics and Euro Golden Boot potential will likely give him the nod, and recently-fit Luke Shaw may finally get a starting appearance having shown some good form as a sub in the previous two games. Whatever formation Southgate chooses for the final on Sunday, they will need to be solid against a side that has so many unique goal scorers in their ranks.

H2H Records: 27 – 10W, 3D, 14L
With 27 head to head games on their record, perhaps the most interesting read is that there have only been 3 draws between these sides, only one in the last 12 fixtures. In fact, their last five games have seen two wins each and a draw, almost all by a single goal margin, however their last competitive game (not a friendly) was some 28 years ago, so perhaps it’s not justifiable to place too much weight on that stat. Spain and England have actually met each other in 4 previous Euros tournaments, with England winning all 4 games, something that may be relevant when it comes to Sunday and we see if they can make it 5 or if Spain finally get one back.

Euro 2024 Final Betting:
As we head into the final game of the tournament at 8pm this Sunday 14th July, let’s have a look at what the Euro 2024 latest betting odds have to say one final time, according to BetVictor. At the time of writing, it seems Spain are the marginal favourites with odds of 11/8, meaning a £10 bet would pay £23.75 if correct, while England are slight outsiders at 19/10, so the same £10 staked, would return an increased £32 if they manage to win within the 90minutes of normal time. A draw is currently priced at 11/5, so £10 pays £29 if they are level, however considering their history of head to heads, we think this might come to a close inside normal playing time. While we predict this game will have a few twists and turns and we’d love to choose England to win, Spain’s incredible scoring power and insane 16-year old wonderkid have us thinking this might be a second thorn in the English attempt to secure a much-coveted trophy.
