Spain vs. England picks and predictions
Prediction
England 2, Spain 1
Moneyline (ML)
BET ENGLAND TO LIFT THE CUP (+126).
Spain has won both games, and it has taken full advantage of the opportunities it has had. However, it hasn’t dominated, having fewer shots in both of its last 2 matches and allowing 23 shots from Germany. After not allowing a goal through its 3 group stage matches, Spain has given up a goal in each of its knockout stage games.
If England get those types of opportunities, it should be able to make them count. England dominated a solid Netherlands side and had more shots in its quarterfinal match against Switzerland as well. It also has the more experienced side behind F Harry Kane and 30-year-old D John Stones.
Considering those trends, take ENGLAND TO LIFT THE CUP (+126) for the best team-specific value.
Over/Under (O/U)
BET OVER 2.5 (+158).
Both teams have been scoring well over the last 10 days. Spain has scored at least 2 goals in each of its last 3 games and has gone north of this total in all 3 knockout stage games. It is 7-2 O/U this total throughout its last 9 games.
England has scored at least 2 goals in 2 of its last 3 games as well. After notching 9 shots on a competent Netherlands backline, the England attack may finally be starting to come together.
Given the recent trends for both sides, back OVER 2.5 (+158).
