Euro 2012 Final Man of the Match betting tips - Andres Iniesta can be Spain's star

Andres Iniesta has been Spain's stand-out performer at Euro 2012 and he can once again be the star man for Vicente Del Bosque's side in tonight's final against Italy.

Bet Victor are top price on all players in Man of Match betting on the Euro 2012 final. Customers without an account with the firm can claim a £25 free bet on the match when registering via a Bettingpro link.

Andres Iniesta was Spain's hero two years ago when they won the World Cup in South Africa with the diminutive midfielder netting the only goal of the game in the final against Netherlands and his career has gone from strength to strength since. 

The 28-year-old now plays in an advanced role ahead of club mates Xavi and Sergio Busquets in the Spanish midfield and he is arguably his country's most important player. Unlike the rest of the midfield, Iniesta is happy to hold onto the ball and commit opposing defenders. This either frees up team mates or allows the Barcelona star to simply ghost past them en route to goal.

Iniesta has not yet scored a goal at Euro 2012 but he has been named Man of the Match twice and he will surely be the key player once again for Spain against Italy in tonight's final in Kiev. It is 9/2 at Bet Victor that he is voted Man of the Match against the Azzurri and that looks like an outstanding bet.

The alternatives in the Spanish squad to Iniesta are Xavi, David Silva, Cesc Fabregas and Fernando Torres and each is a 10/1 shot with Bet Victor but there are reasons to oppose all four. Xavi may be a metronome in midfield but he rarely ventures forward and prefers to simply lay the ball off to team mates. This means that he will not attract quite as much praise as the players in front of him.

As for the other three; it is unlikely that either Torres or Fabregas will play for 90-minutes and so that immediately rules them out while Silva may be creative enough but he drifts in and out of games. The Manchester City forward has yet to hit the heights that he achieved at club level this season and has yet to stamp his authority on any match in Ukraine and Poland.

Andrea Pirlo, a 9/2 chance, and Mario Balotelli (8/1) are both options in the Italy side but we are expecting a Spain win this evening and there has yet to be a match at Euro 2012 where a player on the losing side has been named Man of the Match.
