T.M. Selection: Germany - Spread

1) I like Germany to win this game against Spain on Friday. Although both teams have strong talent Germany is the side with an edge as the host country in this competition.

2) Spain, in fact, has never won at this late stage in the Euros when they are having to face the host country. Look for that historical trend to continue here.

3) Germany should take advantage here of Spain relying on some very young players. Keep in mind the intensity of the situation - the mental aspect - is getting bigger now that it is quarter-finals time. Look for Germany to advance on home soil!

T.M. Prediction: 2-1 Germany

Line: 0.0, -105
