Spain vs. Germany picks and predictions
Prediction
Spain 1, Germany 1
Moneyline (ML)
BET DRAW (+210).
These teams play a similar style, and both are going to allow little counterattacking. Each is technically sound in the midfield and should be able to possess well. Spain has looked dominant, but it only had 1 real challenge which resulted in a 1-0 win over Italy via an own goal for the Italians. Spain drew Brazil 3-3 in March and also lost 1-0 to Colombia in another friendly that month.
For Germany, it had a 1-1 draw in its only real challenge, Switzerland. In its other matches, it won a combined 7-1, and it had 2024 friendly wins over France and Netherlands. Germany is the host nation and has the resume to hang with a young and up-and-coming Spanish side.
These teams are as close as they come, and the odds represent that. Expect a game that hard-fought battle and back DRAW (+210).

Over/Under (O/U)
BET UNDER 2.5 (-130).
Both teams allowed 2 or fewer goals during the group stage with neither team allowing 2 or more in a game. Germany hasn’t allowed multiple goals in any of its eight 2024 matches with games against Switzerland, Denmark, Netherlands and Germany. It has gone Under in 3 of its 4 Euro battles.
Spain has gone Under in 2 of 4 games and has allowed 1 goal through 4 games. It has scored 3 or more in 2 of 4 which gave way to the Over. However, Germany will have a defense capable of slowing down M Rodri and company.
Considering both teams’ strength defensively and the value here, back UNDER 2.5 (-130).
