Spain will be looking to make a winning start at the UEFA U21 Championship when they take on host nation Slovakia U21 in Bratislava.
Slovakia U21 vs Spain U21 Betting Tips - Spain U21 to Win
Spain U21 head into Wednesday's clash as heavy favourites and with good reason. La Rojita have won 11 of their last 12 competitive fixtures, a run that highlights their consistency, depth, and dominance at this level.
Like the senior side, Spain U21 are regarded as the best team in the continent, and they will be confident of beginning their campaign with another win this week.
Slovakia U21 will take confidence from last year's shock win over the Spaniards, but history still tilts strongly in Spain's favour. La Rojita won four of the last five meetings against the Slovaks, and on paper, the gulf in class remains significant.
While Spain are priced as pre-tournament favourites at just 5.0 to win the competition, Slovakia find themselves way out at 50.0, a clear reflection of their outsider status in the tournament.
Unlikely to be an easy day at the office against a well-drilled and motivated Slovakian side, Spain's superior quality, technical ability and squad depth should prove the difference in Bratislava.
I'm putting my money on Spain to win, but don´t be surprised to see BTTS in what should prove an entertaining contest in Slovakia´s capital. Three of La Roja's last four matches finished with both teams scoring.
An away win is my best bet, with a second stake placed on BTTS.
