European U-21 Championship Final, Jerusalem, 5pm, live SS1
DEFENDING champions Spain have won all four of their matches at the European U-21 finals in Israel and are 4-5 at William Hill beat Italy in 90 minutes in Jerusalem tonight.
Spain are hugely talented and look the complete package but will have to be at their best to see off a tough Italian side who defended superbly to beat Holland 1-0 in the semis.
Alvaro Morata is tournament top scorer with four goals and the Real Madrid striker has scored in all but one game despite being used as a supersub.
He has grabbed the opener in three of his four outings – two late ones – so is worth a look at 13-2 with BetVictor to break the deadlock if he starts. If he doesn't consider 13-2 to net last or back him at 21-10 at Paddy Power to score at anytime.
Rodrigo Moreno is the favourite at 7-2 and preferred started even though he hasn't yet scored in the tournament.
So if Rodrigo gets the nod I'll turn my attentions to Isco who is 11-1 at bet265. I tipped Isco, who will leave Malaga for Man City or Real Madrid, to net against Norway in the semis and he 7-2 at bet365 to score again.
Italy are looking to be the first team to net against Spain in the Euros but what a tough task as the Spanish have only conceded one goal in their last 13 matches. Italy, have, however, hit the target in every game at Euro 2013 and both to score pays 11-10 at Coral.
Spain, 4-9 with William Hill to lift the trophy, are unbeaten in 25 games (winning 23) and it would be a major surprise if they slipped up.

What about a wager on this one going to extra-time Mr F.? I haven’t been following the U21’s too closely but I don’t think there have been too many draws. 13/5 looks a fair price.
Lord Clegg, admittedly Italy are tough to break down but Spain have been brilliant from what I’ve saw so I’m on them to win in 90 minutes.
any ideas on jordan v oman in their qualifier?
both competing for 3rd spot in group. oman has better form, jordan coming off 0-4 whipping by not a great australia. oman also beat them 3-1 at home last meeting. yet are at $3.30 @spsbet.??
spain over 1.5 team goals at evens?? gonna have a bet on that
I’ve got Spain on a single and the Morata combo. Also going to try Spain with BTTS. I know they don’t concede but I think the Italians have a chance of scoring here so worth a pop.
Rab, btts up inside 10 minutes.
A bit of luck their Mr F with the early Spain goal. Hopefully Spain can win it now.
Brilliant first half. I didn’t do any overs bets but anyone who did must have been laughing after half an hour. Can’t see the second half being the same but do think there will be at least one more goal, maybe two, with Italy having to open up more.
Nice one Mr F :)
Yeh nice call again Mr F.

Dazz, glad you like it. Sometimes it goes a bit daft but it’s really calmed down and that’s better for everyone. A lot of changes planned in the summer and looking forward to the start of the new season proper.
