Germany vs Spain Odds and Betting Tips
Spain are the bookmakers’ favorites for this EURO 2008 final and they are also my personal favorites. On thing should be not forgot though. Germany played very well in this tournament only when they where considered outsiders. Think about their 3-2 win against Portugal. As they where considered big favorites they failed to produce good games. Remember their 2-1 defeat against Croatia and the lucky 3-2 win against Turkey in the semi-finals.
I think that the winner of this tournament will be an undefeated squad. This is why I will place my money on Spain. To give a more accurate prediction, I think that Spain will win 2-1. Good luck!
