The Ernst Happel Stadium is the venue for the 2008 European Championships Final, where pre-tournament favourites Germany take on Spain for the title of European Champions. To mark this amazing occasion, two leading bookmakers, Betfair and Skybet are giving away free bets up to the value of £25. Germany reached their sixth European Championship Final after a 3-2 victory over a workman-like Turkey in the semi-final. The game looked to be heading for extra-time but Philipp Lahm changed that with a last-gasp goal to send Germany through and Turkey home. The Germans were once again unconvincing and were saved by the woodwork on two occasions but in typical German style, they managed to get the job done and reach their first Euro Final for 12 years. A couple of positives for Germany are that once again Miroslav Klose was amongst the goals and his strike partner, Lukas Podolski, is currently the tournament’s MVP with three goals and two assists.

Spain reached their third finals after a 3-0 demolition of Russia. Once again, Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas was in scintillating form and the Spanish looked world-class with him on the pitch. His arrival for the injured David Villa, who will now miss the final, in the 34th minute, was the catalyst the game needed and he was behind every attacking move the Spaniards made. Goals from Xavi, Guiza and Silva in a half hour, second half spell saw Spain through comfortably. On paper, the Germans have the advantage having won eight and drawn six of the previous 19 encounters between the two sides but Spain seem to have hit form at the right time and should go into the final as favourites. Betfair and Skybet’s free bet offer is valid for the Euro 2008 European Championship final and can be used on such options as halftime score, correct score, total goals, first team to concede a corner and of course, who will emerge as European Champions.
