Spain vs. England: Picks, Predictions, Odds and Player Props

After 31 days, 50 matches and 114 goals scored, the Euros draw to a close on Sunday as Spain face England in the final at Berlin's Olympiastadion.

Spain have been the standout team at the tournament, winning all six of their matches to date and playing an entertaining brand of football highlighted by young talents such as Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams.

England's passage through to the final has been a lot more labored, but the Three Lions delivered arguably their best performance to date against the Netherlands in the semifinals and could well be peaking at exactly the right time.

Spain vs. England betting picks and predictions

England to lift the trophy (+120)

There is no doubt that Spain have been the better of these two teams across the Euros, with Luis de la Fuente's side not only winning matches, but doing so with a clear identity that produces an entertaining brand of football.

After impressing during the group stage, La Roja dazzled against Georgia in the round of 16, showed great mental strength to battle past hosts Germany in the quarterfinals before coming from behind to dispatch France in the final four.

Spain certainly justify their tag as favourites to lift the trophy at odds of -150, but so often it is not the best team that wins a tournament. England could well have timed their sprint to finish line just right.

For much of this tournament, the Three Lions have been criticised for their underwhelming performances, with head coach Gareth Southgate's decision making, both before and during matches, also coming under scrutiny.

But, despite all that, England remain unbeaten and have shown great mental strength to reach the final.

Jude Bellingham's 95th-minute bicycle kick saving them from elimination against Slovakia in the round of 16, before they edged past Switzerland on penalties and then beat the Netherlands thanks to another late goal, this time from Ollie Watkins.

It was that 2-1 victory over the Dutch that suggests England are capable of landing their first major piece of silverware since lifting the World Cup on home soil in 1966.

That success in Dortmund was by far England's most cohesive showing of the tournament, with Phil Foden and Kobbie Mainoo delivering standout displays, while the way Watkins and fellow substitute Cole Palmer combined for the winning goal underlined the strength and depth at Southgate's disposal.

Having beaten Spain the last time the two sides met - a 3-2 UEFA Nations League success in 2018 - England know they are capable of springing a surprise in what should prove a tight game.  The Three Lions appear the value option at +120 to lift the trophy.

Both teams to score (+100)

Only one of the last five European Championship finals has seen both teams score, with three of those games ending 1-0, but this year's showpiece in Berlin is set to buck that trend.

Spain are the leading scorers at the tournament, netting 13 times in six matches and, while England have only found the back of the net on seven occasions, five of those have come during the knockout stages.

All three of the Three Lions' matches since the group stage have seen both teams find the back of the net. The same is true for Spain, who beat Georgia 4-1 before registering a pair of 2-1 successes over Germany and France, although extra-time was required against the tournament hosts.

The last three meetings between these two sides have also ended with both teams scoring and, with the attacking talent on show, there is every chance of that occurring again in Berlin.

Harry Kane to score anytime (+225)

A lot has been made of England captain Harry Kane's performances at the Euros, with a growing number of supporters and pundits suggesting the Bayern Munich star should be dropped for the final.

That seems unlikely to happen given Kane is his country's all-time record scorer with 66 goals in 97 appearances, three of which have come at this tournament - not a bad record for a player that is supposedly out of form and struggling for fitness.

Kane, who scored from the penalty spot against the Netherlands, is the joint-leading scorer at the tournament heading into the final. No player has notched more goals in the history of the European Championship knockout stages than the former Tottenham star.

He may have been substituted in all three of England's ties in the knockout stages, but Kane has scored in two of those and, given he will almost certainly be on penalty duty if the Three Lions are awarded a spot kick, he seems a likely scorer on the night.
