Group F winner Spain begins their quest for the championship in Euro 2008 on June 9th when they take on the Russians. Spain is one of the European Championship since 1968, the Spanish must find a way to end the drought.

The Russians might just be happy to be here. The second-place team from Group E Qualifying, the Russians are a serious threat on paper, and there’s no doubting their heart, but the Spanish, led by forward Fernando Torres, appear to have the Russians overmatched.

The BetUS soccer betting favorite in this match.

Every wager above says that the Spanish cruise to a victory. The key will be in deciding by how much. The BetUS over/under Euro odds regarding the Spanish at 1 ½ goals – 110 is actually a very good wager. The juice of only 10 bucks is a pretty good indication that the Spanish should score more then one goal.

If that’s the case, then what is the best online wager to make in this match? Giving up a goal and the Spanish at above even money, on the BetUS line of + 120, to win this match by at least two goals, that’s what!

That’s a very likely scenario for the simple fact that the Spanish are far superior to the Russians.

I’ll be making two online bets in this match. The first will be on Spain to beat Russia by at least two goals at + 120. The other will be on Spain to score at least two goals in the match at BetUS online odds of – 110.
