Croatia U21's V Spain U21's -1.5 Asian Handicap

Croatia will welcome the European Champions Spain tonight in the UEFA Under 21's Championship.

Another of Europe's finest group of young talent take to the stage tonight in Spain.

After already shouting about the likes of Germany in another tip for today, Spain are the only Under 21 team in the world that are even a cut above the Germans.

Spain are now on a 13 match unbeaten streak and have won 11 of those matches.

They were rightfully crowned Champions of Europe recently beating Switzerland 2-0 in the final.

Spain have now won their last 6 matches in a row and have won all of these matches by at least 2 goals.

Their last match was a 2-0 win at home to Georgia and previously to that had smashed them 2-7 in front of their home fans.

At times it was hard to tell the difference between the Under 21 side and the the full senior Spain national side as they played the same short passing, slick attacking style of football and if that is what the Spanish have coming through their ranks then they could well dominate the game for years to come.

They have one of the most promising goalkeepers in the world in De Gea who is already playing his football at the highest level possible at Manchester United, the likes of Canales and Romeu who play their football at Valencia and Chelsea and then Muniain of Bilbao and Rodrigo of Benfica who all like future world class players, this however is but to name a few and the whole of the Under 21 squad is very talented.

Their opponents today Croatia couldn't have wished for a worse time to face the champions as they endure their worst rein of form in a number of years.

They have won just 1 of their last 6 games and have lost their last 4 games in a row.

Just last month they lost 4-0 to Switzerland a team that Spain beat with relative ease in the Final this year.

Even the side that Spain just beat 9-2 over 2 games, Georgia, Croatia lost 0-1 at home too in June.

Their previous game to that was actually against Spain at this very venue in which Spain ran out 0-3 winners.

With Spain beating the -1.5 Asian Handicap in all 6 of their last 6 games, I fully expect them to do the same tonight and this looks a great bet at 1.99 with Victor Chandler.
