Euro Final: All the odds
Bookmakers make Spain the favourites at 2.2 to win in normal time, but their are plenty of reasons to believe that Italy are worth a punt at 3.75 with bet365 and Paddy Power to come out on top.

Spain vs Portugal (1945 GMT)
It’s the famous Iberian battle tonight, as Spain lock horns with Portugal in the first semi-final of Euro 2012. Spain are looking to be the first nation in history to win three major trophies in a row.
Malouda, Meireles, Essien, Benayoun, Lampard. This attacking quintet are all 29 or older now, and it is time to think about replacing them and build on the next promising, and hopefully title-challenging squad.
The first semi-final of the Euro 2012 pitches the defending champions Spain and their Iberian neighbours Portugal in what promises to be a classic encounter.
Speculation was rife that Chelsea had reached an agreement with Porto of around £38m for the attacker, but in the last few days, talk of the move has cooled, and the moneybags in France, PSG, have come out and put their hand in, saying that they could well be willing to pay up to £45m for the hitman.
England are 2.88 shots with Paddy Power to win in 90 minutes and book their place in the semi-final.
Greece vs Germany (1945 GMT)
After 45 minutes of that Greece vs Poland game, it’s hard to believe that this fixture is taking place. They rallied together and Karagounis and co. somehow overcame the odds and knocked out Russia, beating them 1-0 and sending them flying through.
Czech Republic vs Portugal (1945 GMT)
So, after a days rest, we start the quarter-final stages of Euro 2012. This fixture will be a shock to many, as both Netherlands and Russia were most people picks for this clash, but have both been knocked out of the group stages.
England vs Ukraine (1945 GMT)
It is the final piece of the quarter-final jigsaw today, as Group D battle it out. France and England both know that a draw will put them through, whilst Ukraine need to beat England in front of their own fans to put themselves in the last eight.
