This game against Tottenham provides an opportunity for Hearts to regain confidence and test themselves against a strong Premier League side. Naismith, who has been at the helm since April 2023, will look to guide his team through a successful pre-season and prepare them for the challenges ahead.

The grand finale of Euro 2024 will take place at Berlin's Olympiastadion on Sunday, July 12 when the La Rojas of Spain butt heads with England for the chance to lift the ultimate European international silverware.

If Spain lifts it, they will have lifted the prestigious continental trophy for the fourth time in their history, more than any other side while if the Three Lions of England lifts it, they will have finally brought it home for the very first time in the country’s history.

Spain's Chance to End Their 12-Year Pursuit of a Euros | Home Win = 2.60

Spain comes into this final aiming for their fourth European Championship title having last lifted the trophy in 2012, meaning they have had to wait 12 years to get the opportunity to do it again.

If they ever needed a reason to go into this final with everything they have, that up there is all the reason they would need. Spain has been in excellent form, winning all six of their matches in the tournament, including their 2-1 semi-final win against France.

Spain's excellent performances in the competition have all been leading up to this moment and if they show half the consistency and strong performance they’ve exhibited in this tournament, they would be a formidable opponent to England in the final.

England Could End Their 58 Years Wait to Bring it Home | Away Win = 3.50

English fans have been singing “It’s Coming Home” for 58 years since their last international major trophy, the 1966 FIFA World Cup, and on Sunday, they can finally bring it home.

However, to do that, they would have to replicate a lot of the good things they’ve done in this tournament, one of which is remarkable resilience, exemplified by the fact that they reached the final by coming from behind in each of their three knockout matches.

Despite not always being at their best, England remains unbeaten in Euro 2024, with three wins and three draws and Gareth Southgate's side will need to step up their game even more to challenge Spain, who have arguably been the best team in the competition.

Key Players and Team News:

In terms of team news, Spain is expected to deploy a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams providing support to striker Alvaro Morata while England might stick with a 3-4-2-1 formation, with Bukayo Saka likely featuring as the right wing-back.
