Euro2024 Final Prediction

Published on 14 July 2024 at 17:28

And just like that, the final has come, Spain vs England, two teams who have had two very different tournaments.

Spain have won every game they've played, looking quite convincing in most, knocking the hosts Germany out, and one of the favourites France, they won't be short of confidence that they can dismantle an England side that has underperformed with draws against the likes of Slovenia, Denmark, and Switzerland, but a final is a one off game and England have the quality that can hurt any team on any day, the problem is they haven't found a way to click and don't look very fluid,whilst Spain has looked very smooth in their transitions, playing exciting, fast passing football.

La Roja will try to control the game by having possession, which might not be the worst thing for England who have shown throughout the tournament they struggle more vs a team that sits back which could possibly result in Spain getting the first goal, and England finding themselves in familiar territory having to come from behind, however this might not be the worst thing for Southgate's team with then arguably playing better and turn it on more in the attack when they go behind. In past games when taking the lead England have a tendency to take their foot of the gas and play more defensive compact football which in my opinion could cost them, they need go for Spain's neck and can't show any passiveness because your going to need to score more than one to win this final.

On the flip side Spain need to ensure they take this game out of Englands reach, because as we've seen England have knocked teams out due to them not being clinical enough and putting the game to bed.

I think it will be a closer game than people think, Spain will dominate possession and score at least one of their chances, leaving England having to respond quickly, which will cause them to be vulnerable to attacks from Spain possibly resulting in them increasing their lead. I do think England are more than capable of scoring vs Spain, i'm just not sure it will be enough.
