Johannesburg: Spain are the overwhelming favourites for Sunday's World Cup final against the Netherlands, according to International Sports Press Association members who voted online.

The poll found 63.79 per cent of journalists from 54 countries predicting a victory for Spain in their first World Cup final appearance at Soccer City.

The Dutch, who like Spain have never won the World Cup but appeared in the 1974 and 1978 finals, were tipped by 36.21 percent of those voting, the AIPS reported on Saturday.
