The final of the European Championships is usually the game in which the most money is traded and by looking back at some key trends from previous relatively recent European Championships Finals it can often become easier to predict what is going to happen during the game.
| Year | Winner | Full Time Score | Half Time Score | Runner Up |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2008 | Spain | 1-0 | 1-0 | Germany |
| 2004 | Greece | 1-0 | 0-0 | Portugal |
| 2000 | France | 1-1 (2-1aet) | 0-0 | Italy |
| 1996 | Germany | 1-1 (2-1aet) | 0-0 | Czech Republic |
| 1992 | Denmark | 2-0 | 1-0 | Germany |
| 1988 | Holland | 2-0 | 1-0 | Soviet Union |
| 1984 | France | 2-0 | 0-0 | Spain |
There have only been three different correct scores in the last seven European Championships Finals, the game either finishes 1-0, 2-0 or 1-1. If a goal has already been scored at half time then predicting the full time score should be relatively easy with only one more goal likely in the second half.
In the last seven finals if a team has been winning at half time they have gone on to win the game so at half time back the leading team (if there is one) to win the match. If a team is winning 1-0 at half time the stats suggest the game is almost certain to finish either 1-0 or 2-0 to that team and that would offer better odds than just backing that team to win.
Every time the game has been a draw at half time in the last seven finals it has always been goalless at half time. This has happened four times recently and on half those occasions the game has gone on to be 1-1 so if the teams look very evenly matched at half time the best bet may be 1-1.
There has never been a European Championships Final that has finished 0-0 so one of the first bets to place in running is to lay no next goal in the match, history says there will be a goal. The longer the game goes on, the better the odds will be for layers of no next goal.
With so much on the line in the European Championships Final there are rarely too many goals, all of the last seven European Championships had under 2.5 goals in 90 minutes. At any time during the match under 2.5 goals should be a good in running bet,
In those seven matches there were only three first half goals and nine second half goals. This means that if the game is 0-0 at half time, like three out of the last four finals have been, you want to be betting on just one or two goals to be scored in the second half.
When betting in running on the European Championships Final you should: Lay no next goal Back under 2.5 goals If a team is winning at half time back them to win 1-0 or 2-0 at full time If the game is a draw at half time and looking even back 1-1 Back more goals in the second half than first half
