Spain vs England Prediction & Picks - Euro
by Stephen Abiola in Euro Picks
It’s Spain vs England for the Euro 2024 Finals. Both teams have fought hard to earn their spots after bruising semifinal matches. England produced their best performance yet at the Euros after defeating the Netherlands 2-1 on Wednesday. The Three Lions fell behind in the 7th minute after a strike from Xavi Simons. However, Harry Kane leveled matters in an 18th-minute penalty before Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins bagged the winner with a sublime 90th-minute strike. Earlier on Tuesday, Spain rallied from a 1-0 deficit to score two second-half goals and book a spot in the finals. They have endured a tough road to Berlin after conquering heavyweights like Germany, Italy, Croatia, and now France. This is their first European finals since 2012 and perhaps their strongest campaign in history.

Spain - England: Form Analysis
Spain heads into the finals as the odds-on favorites. They fell behind early in the semis before scoring two goals within four minutes to seal the win. This is the second time they are trailing in this tournament after recovering from 1-0 down to beat Georgia 4-1 in the Round of 16. Luis de la Fuente’s attackers have been in fine form at this tournament, scoring 13 goals. Impressively, La Roja won all six of their games at the Euros without needing penalties. No country has achieved this feat in a single European Championship. They could become the first country to lift the Euros four times on Sunday.
As for England, the jury was still out before the semis. They haven’t played good football for the larger part of this tournament. However, England perfectly answered their critics with a convincing win against the star-studded Dutch. They now face a more formidable opponent as they seek to win their first European Championship trophy. Their only major trophy was the 1966 World Cup on home soil. England is 14-10-3 against Spain, and their last meeting ended in a 3-2 win for the Three Lions. This is their third matchup against Spain in the Euros, winning the previous two. The numbers are looking good for England here.

Spain & England Squad Analysis
Spain has Lamine Yamal to thank if they win the 2024 Euros. The 16-year-old Barcelona winger has taken this tournament by storm, drawing similarities to Pele’s 1958 World Cup campaign. He scored the winning goal against France with a curling left-footer. Yamal has so far assisted three and created 13 chances in this tournament. In midfield, Spain will continue to enjoy the commanding presence of Rodri, who could be the player of the tournament. Luis de la Fonte will also get a double defensive boost with Dani Carvajal and Robin Le Normand returning for suspension. Only Pedri will miss out with a knee injury.
Gareth Southgate, on the other hand, has several crucial decisions to make before the finals. Man United’s Luke Shaw is pushing to displace Keiran Trippier at left-back as England looks for ways to neutralize Lamine Yamal in the finals. Ollie Watkin’s brilliant stoppage-time goal against Holland also presents him as an ideal replacement for Harry Kane. Despite scoring three goals, the Bayern Munich forward has been less convincing at the Euros. Players like Cole Palmer and Ivan Toney should give England enough threat from the bench if they need to chase this game.
