ISCO to shine in Euro Under 21 final

Tuesday night sees the final of the European Under21 Championship and it is the same two teams who contested the seniors final last year, Italy and Spain. Will Spain reign again or can the Italians gain some form of revenge? Here is our guide to the best of the bets from the game Tuesday night.

Bookmakers have Spain as the 1/2 (ladbrokes) favourites to lift the European Under 21 title. It is easy to see why as the Spaniards are unbeaten in their last 25 games, winning 22 of these. Progress so far has been without fault as they have netted eight goals and have yet to concede one. They comfortably saw off Norway 3-0 in the semi-finals the same scoreline which they saw off the Netherlands in their last group game. Italy meanwhile are also unbeaten in the tournament winning two and drawing two. The Italians had a Fabio Borini goal to thank for booking their place in the final in a game in which the Dutch can consider themselves a little unlucky to have lost. The Italians are 21/10 (bet365) to lift the trophy and if you think the Italians can win the game in 90 minutes then you can back them to do so at 4/1(GENERAL). A win for Spain in 90 minutes is 17/20 (paddy Power) and the draw is priced at 13/5 (SKYBET).

The top scorer in the tournament so far is Alvaro Morata who has grabbed four goals and the Real Madrid youngster can be backed at 6/1 (BETVICTOR/WILLIAMHILL/188BET) to score the first goal. The market is headed by his colleague Rodrigo who is 5/1 (BOYLESPORT/ladbrokes) to open the scoring. At a slightly bigger price the highly in-demand Isco could be value at 11/1 (bet365) to score first after bagging a goal in the last two games. The player is also 15/4 (bet365) to score in the anytime goalscorer market. The Malaga playmaker is a class act who could be Premier League bound with former coach Manuel Pellegrini keen to bring the player to Man City. I think he looks worth backing as he looks to showcase his potential. Those looking for an Italian can get Borini at 9/1 (GENERAL) to score first after his goal in the semi-final while Manolo Gabbiadini (who has two goals already in this tournament) is a 10/1 (bet365) chance to grab the first goal. The Spaniards have not conceded a goal all tournament and have won their last two games 3-0 and a 3-0 Spain victory here is a best priced 33/2 (youwin). If you think the result can be the same as it was in the European Championship at senior level then a Spain 4-0 victory is a best priced 42/1 (188 BET). Spain won the final 2-0 last year and another 2-0 Spain win is priced at 15/2 (188BET). If you think Italy can win this game then a 2-1 Italy victory is 18/1 (CORAL) while a 1-0 Italian win is 11/1 (BETVICTOR/CORAL/youwin). If you think the game will end in a draw after 90 minutes then 0-0 is 9/1 (SKYBET) and 1-1 is 13/2 (BETVICTOR/CORAL/WILLIAMHILL).

One final bet I like is NO in the both teams to score market at 5/6 (BETVICTOR). Five of the last six finals have seen one or both teams fail to score while these sides have conceded just one goal between them so far in this tournament.

BEST OF THE BETS

GOLD: Isco to score anytime in Euro U21 final, 15/4 (BET365)
SILVER: Isco to score first in Euro U21 final 11/1 (BET365)
BRONZE: NO in the both teams to score market, 5/6 (BETVICTOR)
