This is the game the purists and the punters have been looking forward to. Paddy Power make the Spaniards 11/10 to win the game in 90 minutes and 1/ 2 to make it to the final, the Russians on the other hand are the value team and a great 14/5 to win in 90 minutes.

With both teams showing they are capable of scoring from anywhere, Paddy Power's semi final Money-Back Special will surely come to the aid of some punters on Thursday night.

If the last goal in 90 minutes is scored by a header, Paddy Power will refund all losing first/last goalscorer, correct score and scorecast bets on that match.

This match will see the two most talked about players of the tournament on show, hoping to add to their growing reputations and possibly a better transfer before next season.

David Villa is a target for many European clubs and is an odds on 8/15 to be the top goalscorer of Euro 2008.

For Russia it's all about Andrei Arshavin, he's been a revelation since returning from suspension and will be key to any success Russia may have.

Paddy Power have some specials on the Russian star player and they are a play on how his surname is spelt, Arshavin.

Spain exercised their quarter final demons against Italy and now find themselves just one game away from the final.

Russia will believe they are on the crest of a wave and go into the game with all the momentum. Does this mean both teams are going to cancel each other out and we'll end up with a stalemate?

Fear not as there is every chance this game will be decided by a penalty shoot out, then will the balance of power swing back in favour of the Spanish?

17/2 Russia win the penalty shoot out
17/2 Spain win the penalty shoot out
