  • Spain have lost only one of their last 18 U21 EURO final tournament group matches (W15 D2).
  • Spain have kept 13 clean sheets in their last 16 U21 EURO final tournament group matches.
  • Spain have lost only one of their last 29 U21 EURO qualifying and final tournament matches (W26 D2).

THE PREDICTION

After losing Luis de la Fuente to the first-team after the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Spain have managed to replace him well with Santi Denia in the dugout. La Rojita come into this final round of group stage fixtures having beaten both Romania and Croatia to nil. They, alongside their upcoming opponents Ukraine, have already qualified for the quarter-finals with two wins to nil. Both sides, with that in mind, are likely to rest and rotate in this one so, given the Spanish have a bit more depth, a Spain win is expected.

BETTING TIP: SPAIN TO WIN
