Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips for Spain vs. England at EURO 2024 Finals
So, we’ve reached the 2024 EURO finals, with Spain and England meeting in the tournament’s final game. The Red Fury is a light favorite here because of all their good performances. On the other hand, England didn’t thrill anyone, reaching the title match with plenty of luck, the most recent in the game against the Netherlands.
Spain
France drew the first blood in the semis, and many believed that the Spaniards might break mentally due to an early conceded goal. Instead, de la Fuente’s crew became even more relentless, flipping the result until the half and showing what they are all about.
Youn Yamal was outstanding, scoring maybe the goal of the championship and displaying elite football on the pitch. In general, each Spanish player did that, particularly in the second half once they locked the midfield, suffocating one of the best teams in the world.
Counting in the extra times, Spain scored two or more goals in each knockout game. They also conceded in each of those events as well.
England
Many say Ollie Watkins saved England against the Netherlands with the last-minute winner. No, it was the controversial German referee Felix Zwayer who gave them a highly suspicious penalty, thus bringing them back into the game in the moments when they looked deflated.
After that, the Three Lions took over the command on the field yet couldn’t score against Oranje’s defense before Watkins’ dagger. This might have been one of the best games Albion has played in the past year or more, and England still had to go through drama to win.
What does that say to us? They have enormous luck here in Germany, reaching the finals with the current performances and displays. In the end, one statistical data, four of the last five games England played at the EURO were with both teams netting.
Spain: Simon: Carvajal, Le Normand, Laporte, Cucurella; Olmo, Rodri, Ruiz: Yamal, Morata, Williams
England: Pickford; Walker, Stones, Guehi; Saka, Mainoo, Rice, Trippier; Bellingham, Foden; Kane
The UEFA Nations League was the last competition in which teams met, and it was back in 2018. On both occasions, the guests triumphed, first Spain in England, 1-2, and later on Albion overseas, 2-3. The last competitive match was at the 1996 EURO in England when the hosts eliminated the Red Fury following the penalties and 120 without goals.
Spain showed much more than England, which would need an incredible amount of luck and other factors to avoid a loss here. The Red Fury performed superbly in each game so far, and we think they won’t stop now.
Our verdict: Spain wins
