This is the climax of Euro 2024. Spain and England will lock in a battle to be crowned the best team in the Old Continent. Olympiastadion in Berlin will host the epic finale of the tournament and it promises to be entertaining. Both teams came from behind in their respective semi-final matches and showed character to earn their place here.
Spain Team News
La Roja were not considered among the strong favourites before the start of the Euro. Teams like England, France and Germany were ahead of them in the pecking order, but Spain was considered more of a dark horse. They took this and turned the public perception of them with incredible performances against tough teams like Italy, and Croatia in the group stage and Germany and France in the knockout phase. La Roja are also on a 8 game winning streak before the final making them a team in splendid form entering one of the most high-profile games in the world. A win here would make Spain the most successful team at the European Championship, putting them in front of Germany.
England Team News
While Spain’s route to the final was more dominating and assertive, England’s path was marked by controversy, less-than-stellar performances and an abundance of late goals. Gareth Southgate and his side are in the final, yes, but their campaign has been anything but entertaining nor convincing. At the same time it must be said that in the most dire times, The Three Lions did find a way to save themselves, be it with stoppage time screamers or through penalties. Additionally, England could start to believe in themselves as this is their second consecutive final at the European Championships, although they will want to avoid a repeat of the previous one lost to Italy.
Head-to-Head-Games
Looking at the head-to-head games between Spain and England we can see 2 wins for either team and a draw. Their last 3 encounters produced over 2.5 goals and saw goals from both teams, albeit the most recent of these matches was back in 2019. What is more important is that England has a good record against Spain at the Euros with 4 wins to their name.
Spain – England Betting Prediction
I believe that both teams will score here and this will be my pick for the game. Spain play some silky and direct football with La Roja scoring a fair amount of goals throughout the tournament. England, on the other hand, have shown resilience and are the only team to reach a final having trailed in both quarter and semi-final fixtures, meaning that even if they fall behind, The Three Lions will be in a familiar position. Spain is also no stranger to coming from behind as they did concede first against Georgia and France in the knockout stage but ultimately reached the final.
