EURO 2024 Final Betting is on the way! After about a month of inspired soccer, the 2024 UEFA European Championships are set to come to an end on Sunday.
Spain stopped France, 2-1, despite giving up the first goal that France has scored in open play in this tournament in just the eighth minute of the game.
Lamine Yamal drew Spain level with a sparkling goal from outside the box only 13 minutes later. At the age of 16 years and 362 days, Yamal is the youngest player ever to score a goal in a men’s European Championships game.
Dani Olmo tallied four minutes later, and Spain were able to stave off a French attack that has been underwhelming for the whole tournament the rest of the way.
No team had ever won six matches in one installment of the European Championship before Spain did it this year, and this side have won six matches in a row.
Their counterparts went down 1-0 early as well, as Xavi Simons put the ball past Jordan Pickford in the seventh minute.
England drew level in the 18th minute as VAR called the referee’s attention to a possible penalty, and the referee ended up putting the ball on the spot.
In the 90th minute, substitute Ollie Watkins gave England the winner – just the second time a goal was scored in the 90th minute to win a previously tied Euro knockout match.

Spain EURO 2024 Moneyline +145
Spain got to play their semifinal on Tuesday, a full day ahead of England.
They’ve been the best team at EURO 2024 gets to have 24 more hours of rest than a team playing in its first major tournament final away from England.
The Three Lions have won only one major tournament in the history of the sport, back in 1966, when they won the World Cup – in England.
Spain have scored 13 goals to lead EURO 2024, while England have just seven.
The last three finals of the UEFA European Championships have all gone to the team that played a day earlier.
That included Italy beating England in penalties last year, Portugal’s win over France in 2016, and Spain routing Italy, 4-0, back in 2012.
The last three World Cups have all gone the same way, with the finalist that has the extra day of rest getting the win.
Spain’s pressure is among the best in the world, so the English trend of falling behind early before clawing back to draw level and then get a late win is something that the team should try to avoid this time around.
Between Wednesday’s win and Sunday’s final, the focus will be on recovery for the match, with no significant training set to take place.
That could help England narrow the gap in terms of rest, but will it be enough?
^England EURO 2024 Moneyline +240
England entered as the sports betting favorite to win this tournament, but they have looked less than impressive for lengthy stretches of play.
They’ve been using comebacks and late winners to advance as we saw against the likes of Slovakia, when both England goals came very late, the second in extra time, giving the Three Lions a 2-1 win, and against Switzerland and now the Netherlands.
In fact, it’s historically been the English side giving up late equalizers and losing on penalties, so seeing the Three Lions take this role is definitely a change.
One thing we do know about England in this tournament is that their plans coming in have largely failed. Soccer prognosticators thought it would be the play of the top players that determined how far this team would go.
However, it’s been the worker bees and the other contributors who have turned into heroes to this point.
Jude Bellingham has had a difficult month and is not finding the net – except for that bicycle kick late against Slovakia that drew England level. Harry Kane was a favorite to win the Golden Boot for scoring the most goals.
Instead, he’s playing in a system that doesn’t give him many touches, and opposing defenders are controlling his movements.
Phil Foden hasn’t really looked like the English Premier League Player of the Year that he was last year, but he did put up a nice match against the Netherlands.
The fact that Gareth Southgate didn’t know whether he wanted to run with a three- or four-man back line until the middle of the knockout rounds.
All of these intangibles could work in the favor of England on Sunday.
^EURO 2024 Final Betting Final Score and Prediction
England is a scrappy bunch, but their failure to take charge of games remains a key criticism of their approach.
Spain has shown no such issue with driving the rhythm of games.
I think Spain will take advantage of the extra day of rest and pressure the English side from the very beginning.
I predict a final score of Spain 2, England 0.
