The Euro 2024 Final sees two-time winners Spain take on the Euro 2020’s beaten finalists England in what represents the Three Lions first ever final on foreign soil.
La Roja – the best team in the tournament so far – are 29/20 favourites to win it inside normal time and 4/6 to do so by any means available but Gareth Southgate’s improving side have a never say die attitude that we want to keep onside.

No need to deviate from BTTS bet that’s served us well
‘Both teams to score – Yes’ led a home a perfect three winning tips from three for us in England’s semi-final win over the Netherlands and also copped versus the Swiss.
The same bet also landed in their round-of-16 clash with Slovakia, so it has to be well worth backing once again at even money.
Spain have their own stats in support of the case despite going through the group stage without conceding. Since then they’ve shipped on their way to victory in each of their three knockout games, with even lowly Georgia getting in on the act.
Tip: Both teams to score – Yes @ 1/1
Never say die England can have the last word in Berlin
Quality isn’t a word that has been overused in analysis of England’s form en route to the final, but one ‘quality’ they have shown is an unwillingness to accept defeat.
Southgate’s side have looked sunk in each of their three knockout ties so far in Germany and conjured late goals to keep themselves going each time.
Jude Bellingham’s 96th-minute bicycle kick equaliser against Slovakia, Bukayo Saka’s 80th-minute leveller versus Switzerland and Ollie Watkins’ 90th minute winner in their semi-final all attest to a side that don’t know when to quit.
Spain gave up an 89th-minute equaliser to Germany at the quarter-final stage and it would be little surprise to see this indefatigable England side emulate the hosts.
Tip: England to score last @ 11/8
Tournament form make La Roja value to top card count
Spain are very narrow 6/5 favourites in the team with most bookings betting, with England 5/4 underdogs. Perhaps the Betzone traders expect Southgate’s outmatched artisans to resort to rule bending in attempts to tame their silkier foes.
However, a glance at the tournament stats suggests it’s Luis de la Fuentes’ men that are more likely to prevail on the card count – they’re ahead of the underdogs on every relevant metric.
La Roja have received 13 yellow cards and one red card to England’s 11 and zero despite playing 30 mins less football.
They’ve also average 13.8 fouls per game, the fourth highest such total in the tournament (England average just 8.3) and 15.3 tackles to their opponents’ 12.
