Euro 2024 wraps up on Sunday as Spain take on England at 9pm in Berlin, in the most anticipated football game of the year.

The Three Lions reached their second consecutive Euro final after losing the previous one on home soil to Italy in 2021. Beating Spain would mean lifting their first Euro trophy.

Spain, on the contrary, have the opportunity to clinch a record fourth title. They’re already the joint all-time top winner with Germany.

Spain vs England prediction
This is a real clash of style but it feels like Spain will just have the edge as their ability on the transition can win them the game at any moment. England will hang in there and have chances but this will be their biggest test of the tournament by some distance. Spain 2-1 England.

England, who were on the other side of the knockout draw, defeated Slovakia 2-1 in the round of 16 after extra time while beating Switzerland 1-1 (5-3) after penalties in the quarter-finals. Gareth Southgate’s team beat the Netherlands in the semi-finals, courtesy of a 90th-minute goal by substitute Ollie Watkins.

Spain’s Dani Olmo and England’s Harry Kane, meanwhile, will continue their Golden Boot challenge at the Olympiastadion. Both are currently tied at three goals this edition. Midfielders Fabian Ruiz (Spain) and Jude Bellingham (England) are also in the running, having scored two goals each.

Where will the Euro 2024 final be held?
The final will be held at the Olympiastadion in Berlin.

Germany is hosting the tournament this year, the first time it has done so exclusively since West Germany did so in 1988.

Munich’s Allianz Arena hosted four matches in the COVID-impacted pan-continental competition in 2021.

England have had the upper hand against La Roja with 14 wins while Spain have registered 10 victories. Three draws have been contested.

Spain vs England team news
Spain will get a double defensive boost for Sunday’s final with Robin Le Normand and Dani Carvajal both returning from suspension.

They will be expected to slot back in place of Nacho Fernandez and 38-year-old Jesus Navas, the latter of whom had a bit of a torrid time against France and Mbappe and went off with a knock in the second half.

The performance data underlines his impact that day. He produced the most ball carries into the final third (25) as well as the most crosses (nine). He was active without the ball too, posting the most runs in behind (15) of any player on the pitch. To highlight the extent to which England relied on their right flank that afternoon, 63% of their passes into the final third went to that side of the pitch, with Saka receiving 25 of the 45 balls played there.
