Spain v Russia Odds

The Spain v Russia odds for this Spain Russia betting Euro 2008 semi final match, has the classy Spaniards as clear favourites to win, but it is doubtful whether they can repeat their emphatic Group D win of 4-1, over the massively improved Russians. The Russians who bombed out the Dutch in such great style and against all the odds the other night, seem to have found their peak in the nick of time, as such the Spanish, who are joint favourites to win the Tournament along with Germany, may find this their hardest match.

Latest Euro 2008 Odds Comparison

Spain has a history of failing at the latter stages of major tournaments, but they seem to determined not to allow that to happen again. Their players have been putting everything into their matches, they have looked good in every area of the game and they have been highly entertaining. They should have the psychological advantage over the Russians having already beaten them once. Russia was outstanding going forward against Holland and looked like they have plenty more goals in them. In Ashavin and Pavlyuchenko they have players that can unlock any defence and they will be far more of a threat than the Italian attack. It will be interesting to see if Arsenal’s Cesc Fabregas starts this match, he looked a much better bet than Xavi in the midfield. We tip a narrow win for Spain in a game where goals are likely. If so then backers should consider backing both Pavlyuchenko and David Villa to score on the night.
