Germany vs. Spain Euro 08 Final Gambling Prediction

[Shame About Ray]

Euro 2008 Final - Germany vs. Spain

After brilliant upsets throughout the tournament, the championship match in Euro 2008 boils down to two heavyweights - - Germany and Spain. Turkey played about as well as they could against the Germans this past Wednesday but a late goal by Philip Lahm in extra time sealed Turkey’s fate. The Germans were lucky to escape with a victory over the big-hearted Turks and must now turn their attention to the most impressive team in Euro 2008.



Spain has looked unbeatable in this tournament. They won every match and besides the quarterfinal victory over the Italians, where the Spanish won on penalty kicks, the Spaniards have pretty much dominated their opposition. Against Russia, for example, they took Arei Arshavin, perhaps the best ball-handler in Euro 2008, right out of the game. Spain dominated Russia in a 3 – 0 sports betting victory without one of their top players, David Villa, making it into the second half.

That’s how good this Spanish team is. Of course, facing Germany will be no easy task for the Spaniards and it has to be noted that Spain hasn’t won this tournament in 44 years. That’s a long drought for both the Spanish and online soccer betting fans to overcome!

Here are the BetUS online sportsbook betting odds for this match.

Germany pk + 125 + 220 O 2 - 140 O 1 + 110
U 1 - 140

Spain pk - 145 + 125 U 2 + 120 O 1 ½ + 130
U 1 ½ - 160

Draw + 210

The Spanish will be without the top scorer in Euro 2008 - - David Villa. Online wagering fans shouldn’t let the injury bother them, however, as Cesc Fabregas, who filled in admirably for Villa in the last fifteen minutes of the first half and the entire second-half of Spain’s victory against the Russians, is an incredibly talented striker.

Fabregas has the ability to hurt the Germans as much as Villa did. That means that Germany had better be on their toes in this game.

The Germans gave up two goals to the Turks in the semi-final. That’s not a good sign and if Germany has any hopes of beating the Spaniards, they had better turn things around quickly.

Germany needs to find the form that led them to that brilliant victory over Portugal in the quarterfinal round. The Germans can do it and even though Spain has looked virtually unbeatable in Euro 2008, I have to once again go with the money play.

In this case, the money play is Germany at BetUS online wagering odds of + 220 to win the Euro 2008 Finals match straight-up.
That’s where my money will be. On Germany to beat the Spanish in the championship match of Euro 2008.
