2 squads which have never won a World Cup championship will encounter in the final on Sunday in World Cup betting as Holland challenges Spain in a match that can be viewed on ABC television. This will be the first-ever appearance for Spain in the final, while Holland has been in the final 2 times in their history, losing in 1974 and in 1978. Spain is a -200 favorite at the offshore sportsbook with the total at two.

Spain was able to get past Germany 1-0 in the semifinals to reach the final while Holland outscored Uruguay 3-2 in the other semifinal. Arjen Robben and Wesley Sneijder lead the Netherlands while Spain is led by David Villa. Sneijder and Villa are tied for the World Cup goal scoring lead as each competitor has landed 5 goals. The Netherlands have outscored their foes 12-5, so they are the higher scoring team in the World Cup betting. Spain has performed more of a defensive competition as they’ve outscored foes in the World Cup by a 7-2 margin.

Spain in fact lost their first match 1-0 to Switzerland in this year’s World Cup. They have allowed only 1 goal since that loss. David Villa has landed 5 of their seven goals and is tied with Sneijder for the Golden Boot. Spain is filled with talent and it showed as they completely owned Germany in the semifinals. The midfield of Spain is just brilliant with Xavi, Iniesta and Xabi Alonso. Goalkeeper Iker Casillas is 1 of the greatest goalies on the planet, and the defense is rather good. And they have Villa upfront when Spain needs a goal. There are not a lot of weaknesses on this Spanish team and they’re a worthy favorite.

The Netherlands has been impressive in the World Cup odds and they’ve got the talent to compete with Spain except in goals. The Netherlands has Robben and Sneidjer and they have a great duo in Nigel de Jong and Mark van Bommel in the middle. Dirk Kuyt and Robin van Persie are not to be neglected. The issue for Holland is that goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg is not in the class of Casillas. Spain probably will have the advantage if the competition boils down to which keeper makes a significant save. On the flip side, Holland is the only team in this year’s World Cup not to lose a single competition.

Neither of these countries has ever won the World Cup before, so this year will be a special 1. Either Holland or Spain will become the eighth nation to join the pretty brief list of countries that have won the World Cup. If Spain takes it, they will become the first team in history to win the World Cup after losing their first competition. If the Netherlands do, they would be the first team since Brazil in 1970 to win every competition in the World Cup en route to the championship. The winner of this match will be making history for their nation one way or another.
