Spain vs Germany Betting Tips
- The Panel Tip 1: Spain To Win Inside 90 Minutes – 17/10 With BetMGM
- The Panel Tip 2: Fabian Ruiz Any Time Scorer – 11/1 With Betway
- The Panel Tip 3: Robert Andrich To Be Shown A Card – 11/5 With Bet365
The Euro 2024 quarter-finals kick off on Friday with an absolute cracker between two of the favourites to win the tournament.
Betting sites find it hard to separate the three-time winners, but Spain are the slightest of favourites at a best-priced 17/10 with BetMGM, while hosts Germany are available at 15/8 with Unibet to win inside 90 minutes.
Those prices are reflected in the outright odds which have Spain at 4/1 to lift the trophy in Berlin on July 14, just ahead of the Germans, who are generally 9/2.
Both nations topped their respective groups and are inside the top two for goals scored in the tournament, so the signs point towards an exciting game.
Germany started their campaign with a 5-1 drubbing of Scotland followed by a 2-0 victory over Hungary and 1-1 draw with Switzerland, but they had luck on their side for the last-16 victory over Denmark.
Despite edging the first half, Germany thought they had fallen behind shortly after the restart when Thomas Delaney was adjudged marginally offside in the build-up to Joachim Andersen’s close-range finish.
Andersen’s misery was complete moments later when David Raum’s cross caught his slightly outstretched arm in the area, resulting in a penalty which Kai Havertz converted before Jamal Musiala sealed a quarter-final spot 15 minutes later.
Spain won all three group games against Croatia, Italy and Albania without conceding, but had to fight back from a goal down to beat Georgia 4-1 on Sunday night during which they had 36 attempts on goals, 13 on target.
It promises to be a thrilling encounter in Stuttgart and The Panel have picked out three Spain vs Germany betting tips.
Spain Vs Germany Prediction: Roll With La Roja
The last four meetings between these countries have ended in 1-1 draws and a repeat of that scoreline is 11/2 with football betting sites, or it’s 18/5 for the match to finish all square after 90 minutes and goals at both ends.
Die Mannschaft, though, still have nightmares about their heaviest ever competitive defeat in November 2020 when Ferran Torres, then with Manchester City, scored a hat-trick in a 6-0 Nations League victory for Spain.
That said, Germany have thrived since Julian Nagelsmann replaced Hansi Flick last September, winning eight and drawing three of his 13 matches in charge, but despite their improvement, Spain still look the team to beat at the European Championship.
Luis de la Fuente’s side have had 13 more attempts than nearest rivals Germany and, as you would expect, more shots on goal (29), although only one more than Friday’s opponents.

Spain made it six successive wins with an impressive performance against a Georgia team that four days earlier had beaten a weakened Portugal side that still had Cristiano Ronaldo playing up front.
It looks a close match to call, but Spain’s relentless pressure and solid defence should prove too strong for Germany, especially if they persist with Havertz instead of Niclas Fullkrug.
The Arsenal striker has had a tournament-high 15 shots, nine of which were on target, but scored just twice – both from the penalty spot.
The Panel Tip 1: Spain To Win Inside 90 Minutes – 17/10 With BetMGM
Spain Vs Germany Prediction: Absolutely Fab
The any time scorer markets are awash with some great prices, such as Jamal Musiala, who is 19/5 with BetMGM to add to the tournament-high three goals he has already struck for Germany.
In the opposite camp, Nico Williams became the only player since 1980 to score, assist a goal and complete 100% of his passes in the comeback success against Georgia, and looks an interesting prospect at 5/1 with Unibet to find the net.
The same bookmaker offers 16/5 on Fullkrug to score just as he did as a sub with the equaliser in a 1-1 draw with Spain during the group stage of the 2022 World Cup.
However, the burly Borussia Dortmund striker has yet to start a game at Euro 2024 and as things stand is likely to be on the bench once again.
Instead, The Panel are drawn towards Spain midfielder Fabian Ruiz, who looks a steal at 11/1 with new betting sites to score on Friday night.
The PSG midfielder warmed up for the Euros by scoring in a 5-1 friendly rout of Northern Ireland and has continued his good work with goals against both Croatia and Georgia.
Furthermore, only six players have taken more shots than Fabian’s 11 at the tournament and five of them have been on target - one more than Spain's main striker Alvaro Morata - so he certainly has an eye for goal.
The Panel Tip 2: Fabian Ruiz To Score Any Time – 11/1 With Betway
Spain Vs Germany Prediction: Andrich Riding His Luck
The Panel sided with Robert Andrich to be shown a card in Germany’s 2-0 victory over Denmark at 3/1 and although the tip failed to pay off, he was lucky to escape a caution.
The Bayer Leverkusen midfielder clattered into Joakim Maehle just outside the area prior to the game being suspended for lightning, but only a free-kick was awarded.
A less lenient referee than Michael Oliver would certainly have brandished a yellow card for that cynical foul, but the official in charge of Friday's match may not be so forgiving.
Andrich continues to live dangerously at the European Championship, committing eight fouls, although his only booking came against Scotland in the opening match of the tournament.
Although the odds are lower than they were against Denmark, The Panel are keeping faith with Andrich to go into the official’s notebook at 11/5 with betting apps.
The Panel Tip 3: Andrich To Be Shown A Card – 11/5 With Bet365
