Spain look to extend their undefeated streak at European Championships (dating back to the 2008 tournament) to 14 games on Friday as they take on Turkey.

Winners at both Euro 2008 and Euro 2012, Spain kicked off their title defense with a 1-0 victory over the Czech Republic, rewarding bettors as -225 chalk.

The club kept supporters on edge after dropping a stunning 1-0 decision to 137th-ranked Georgia in a pre-tournament clash on June 7, waiting until the 87th minute of their date with the Czechs to bury the winner—a match which they otherwise dominated in every statistical category.

La Roja are now 10-2-1 in their past 13 games overall and a perfect 9-0-0 in their past nine competitive contests, including eight straight wins during Euro 2016 qualifying.

Turkey find themselves in dire circumstances following a 1-0 loss to Croatia in their first group stage matchup, and they will be eager to earn at least a point to strengthen their chances of advancing to the knockout stage for the second time in four tournament appearances.

The squad went undefeated in their final eight Euro qualifying matches to finish third in their group, but are a middling 2-2-0 in their past four games.

The Turks were badly outshot by Croatia, and they demonstrated poor discipline with three players drawing yellow cards in the match—including veteran defender Hakan Balta, a key member of the national side that produced a semi-final finish at Euro 2008.

But history is not on Turkey's side, with the Crescent Stars last picking up a victory against Spain way back in 1954 and most recently suffering a pair of losses to the defending champs during qualifying for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

Spain vs. Turkey Prediction: 2-0 Spain
