The Euro 2024 final is officially set with Spain taking on England Sunday for the title. Spain has marched through this competition without much resistance and will now look to cap a great run with a championship, while England has been quite lucky but appears to be a “team of destiny” looking to avenge a loss at Wembley Stadium in the 2021 final.
Here’s a look at the opening odds for Sunday’s final courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook.
Spain vs. England moneyline odds (regular time)
Spain: +145
Draw: +185
England: +235
Euro 2024 final winner
Spain: -155
England: +120
It’s not surprising to see Spain as the favorite given how both teams have performed so far. The Spanish have looked better in general going forward and have scored more goals, but England seems to find a way to get timely goals and does appear to be in a groove. Spain will get some key players back from suspension, which will be a boost.
As far as a pick goes, I think a draw in regular time will have strong appeal. You can “draw no bet” with Spain to hedge a bit but as I mentioned, England has found a way to score goals at timely moments throughout this tournament. England lost in a penalty shootout last time around in a Euro final, while Spain won both its recent titles in regular time. Backing Spain as the winner makes sense, mostly because I believe La Furia have the edge when it comes to scoring goals. England’s new defensive setup has proven to be successful but Spain’s attack is a well-oiled machine at the moment. Pick Spain to get the job done and lift the European championship after 12 years.
