After several weeks of intense competition, the final of Eur0 2024 is here. The semifinals were electric, with Spain taking down France, while England was able to get the job done against the Netherlands. Now, these two teams are going to leave it all out on the line in Berlin this weekend. Who will come out on top? Entering the opening whistle, Spain is the favorite over England in the Euro 2024 Final. This is surely going to be a game to remember.
Spain is riding high after stunning France and Kylian Mbappe. In that win for Spain, they actually went down 1-0 in the first half, but they answered pretty quickly with two goals shortly after. This included a world-class strike from teenage sensational Lamine Yamal. Now, Yamal and Co. are going to hope to post one more win to capture the glory. Obviously, England wants to prevent that from happening.
| Euro 2024 Final odds |  |  |  |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spain to win | -150 | -150 | -150 |
| England to win | +130 | +130 | +130 |
| Over 2.5 goals | -110 | -110 | -110 |
| Under 2.5 goals | -110 | -110 | -110 |
The Three Lions posted a heart-stopping win over the Netherlands on Wednesday, with Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins scoring a goal in the final minute. It looked like the game was going to head to extra time, but Watkins proved to be the hero. Manager Gareth Southgate also deserves some credit, as he took off Harry Kane, who tied the game from the penalty spot, to make way for Watkins. It was a risk that paid off in a big way.
According to the best sports betting sites, which includes the reliable Bovada sportsbook review, Spain holds -150 soccer betting odds to win the title, while England has been listed with +130 odds. Spain has been cruising from start to finish over the last month or so, so it's not a shock that so many people think they're going to come away with a win. However, we don't think it's going to happen for them.

England is our pick to win the Euro 2024 Final
Believe it or not, England is our pick to win the Euro 2024 Final. It's surely coming home, right? Three years ago, England took on Italy in the Euro Final, but they lost on penalties. It was a heartbreaking result and people have been bashing Southgate ever since. However, there's a new feeling around this squad and they've certainly got the playmakers to stun the Spanish side on Sunday in Germany.
Kane has a tremendous boot, but we've also got to talk about the play of Bukayo Saka, Jude Bellingham, Declan Rice and of course Kobbie Mainoo. The Stockport native has been sensational since taking over as a starting midfielder. Mainoo looked amazing in the semifinal and now he's ready for one more win. Saka, Kane, Watkins, Bellingham, Rice and others are fired up to make a statement this weekend too.

"Our traveling support is amazing, the money they spend, the commitment to do that, to be able to give them a night like this -- and we have given them a few over the last six years from Russia onwards -- it means a lot," Southgate said after the semifinal win. "If I hadn't been on the grass, I'd have been watching, celebrating like they were. We're kindred spirits in many ways. Of course, I'm the one that has to pick a team. To be able to give them a night like tonight is very, very special."
With the +130 odds, it goes to show you that while the sportsbooks for European Championships think that Spain will pull off a win, they also think that England will be able to keep things tight. Just when it looks like they're going to lose a game, someone steps up for them late in the action. We have a feeling that's once again going to be the case against Spain. It will be a battle, but in the end, we see England lifting the trophy in dramatic fashion.
The over on goals should hit between England and Spain
With so much offensive firepower for both teams, the over on goals should hit between England and Spain. These are two of the best teams in the world. While both England and Spain have tremendous defenses, we think they're surely going to have their hands full in trying to stop the opposition's attack. In the win over France, Spain was able to get the ball into the box comfortably and their finishers did the rest.
With England, they have guys who can come off the bench and deliver, which is exactly what we saw with Watkins' thrilling goal. Per the oddsmakers, the over/under for goals has been set at 2.5, with -110 betting odds for both. From our chair, it would be a bit of a surprise if at least three goals weren't scored. For our final score prediction, we have England winning 2-1, which would capture them the title, but also cover the over. That's our pick for this one.
