Betting On Spain Online

If you haven’t heard the recent success story of the Spanish national soccer team, you’ve either been living under a rock or don’t have a clue what is going on in the world of soccer. It’s that simple. The Spanish team conquered all comers from 2008 until 2012, winning the Euro Cup twice and the World Cup once in that time span. The 2008 Euro Cup triumph was their first major trophy since 1964 when they beat the Soviet Union 2-1 in the final. Winning three major tournaments in a row shows how incredible a team the Spanish had.

Spain is the first nation to win back-to-back Euro Cups, but a poor showing at the Euros and Brazil World Cup left a lot to be desired. Few sportsbooks are giving them favorites odds for the 2020 Eurocup, with most bookmakers offering their odds as the sixth favorite.

Spain is currently sixth in FIFA’s world rankings and is pegged at +800 by Bovada to win the European crown, which is good for sixth favorites for Euro 2020. That shows how dominant aside the Spanish have been not so long ago. They had a miserable time at World Cup 2018 and failed to advance past the group stage. But the Spanish cannot be held down for long and have rebounded well since their disappointment in recent years. 

No matter what team they are pitted against, Spain is almost always favored by sportsbooks. If they are playing at home, you’ll have to put a lot of cash down for the returns to be worth it. 

You might consider taking Spain as part of a parlay or combination bet unless you have a chunk of cash to throw down on moneyline. 

Have a look at Spain’s game schedule to find out if their next game is a qualifier, friendly or part of a major competition. It will make a big difference in your betting strategy.

Spain is more susceptible during friendly games as they will experiment a lot more with untried, inexperienced youth. These games are the best times to bet against Spain.

Expect to see Spain at the top of the standings no matter the competition. Barring catastrophic events, like World Cup 2014, Spain should always make the knockout stage.
