Euro 2023 final prediction
England look fearsome up top and have a defence yet to concede a goal. They have not had a better chance for glory in 39 years and will surely make it count.
Spain will need to win the midfield battle to have any chance of victory, and certainly have the firepower to punish England, otherwise I can’t see past a Young Lions win.
England to win 2-0.
Head to head (h2h) history and results
