In anticipation of tonight's Euro 2024 final between England and Spain in Berlin, a simulation has provided a thrilling forecast of the match.
England, coming off a 2-1 victory over the Netherlands in the semi-finals thanks to goals from Harry Kane and Ollie Watkins, face a formidable opponent in Spain. Spain, arguably the tournament's standout team, secured their spot by defeating France 2-1, aiming for their fourth European Championship title.
After their heartbreaking loss to Italy on penalties in the Euro 2020 final, England's manager Gareth Southgate is determined to secure the nation's first-ever European Championship victory. Despite initial uncertainties about his future, reports confirm that Southgate will remain in charge regardless of tonight's outcome.
In the simulation, Spain is expected to field a 4-3-3 formation with Simon; Carvajal, Le Normand, Laporte, Cucurella; Rodri, Olmo, Ruiz; Yamal, Morata, Williams. England, on the other hand, could line up in a 3-4-2-1 formation featuring Pickford; Walker, Stones, Konsa; Saka, Mainoo, Rice, Trippier; Foden, Bellingham; Kane.
The simulation showed Spain dominating the early stages, with Lamine Yamal posing a significant threat and nearly scoring. Despite England's initial struggles and a missed opportunity from Alvaro Morata, they remained resilient. The second half saw England gaining possession and confidence.
The predicted final score from EA FC 24 simulation is a narrow victory for England, with a 1-0 win in extra time.
