Spain are justifiable favourites to retain their European Under 21 Championship crown after breezing through qualifying, culminating in an 8-1 aggregate thrashing of Denmark in their play-off match.

Spain will want to get this three points under their belt with tougher tasks to come against Germany and the Netherlands but in Rodrigo, they have a player who scores goals for fun. He bagged 11 of Spain’s 35 goals in qualification and is favourite to be tournament top scorer. In the betting for tonight he is a bets price 9/2 (Paddy Power) to score first and that’s a price well worth taking.

Russia are one of the outsiders for the tournament, mainly because of their so called group of death but they have experience in their ranks, unfortunately for them though, Euro 2012 start Alan Dzagoev, who was so impressive for the senior side and the striker Smolov who averages more than a goal every two games for Russia Under 21’s are both unavailable for tonight. That only makes Russia’s task even tougher, as their odds of 13/2 (Sky Bet) to win the match suggests.

Looking at the betting then, there is no value in backing Spain Under 21’s to win at 1/2 for the average punter, but Spain to win by two goals or more is being offered at a generous 13/10 (Paddy Power).
