The ultimate question ahead of any major tournament. Who will come out on top?
Along with picking out a team to go all the way, keep in mind that there are several other related markets that might be of more interest to you. Markets such as ‘To Reach The Quarter-Finals’, or ‘To Qualify From Their Group’, may be better options for teams which are considered outsiders but may have a favourable draw.
We’ll be taking a look at some of the main contenders to lift the European Championship trophy in 2024 and picking out a few bets which have value from our predictions.
France, the 2018 World Champions, progressed through their qualifying campaign almost flawlessly, collecting 22 points from 24 in a tough group that featured the Netherlands. Didier Deschamps’ squad, captained by Kylian Mbappe, is sure to be the team to beat in Group D, where they will be up against Austria, the Netherland and a play-off winner, potentially Wales.
Verdict: The team to beat.
England, with their Euro 2024 winner odds trimmed to 7/2 from 4/1, secured a favourable draw in Group C alongside Denmark, Slovenia, and Serbia. Their Euro 2024 campaign gets underway with a clash against Serbia in Gelsenkirchen, followed by encounters with Denmark and Slovenia. Despite a hiccup in a chilly North Macedonia, in a game they unexpectedly drew 1-1, the Three Lions, who boast an unbeaten 2023, will aim to go one further than they did at Euro 2020. With a full strength squad and considering they finished 2nd at Euro 2020 followed by reaching the quarter-finals of the World Cup two years later, Gareth Southgate’s side stand every chance of claiming their first ever European Championship trophy in what could be the final year in charge for the England manager.
Verdict: Every chance of going far.
As hosts, Germany enter the tournament with high expectations, yet their recent form under Julian Nagelsmann does raise some concerns. Home nations tend to do well in big tournaments but there are challenges ahead for the hosts having been drawn into Group A with Switzerland, Hungary, and Scotland. With just one win in their last six on home turf, an upturn in form is required if they’re going to use being the home nation to their advantage.
Verdict: No thanks.
Portugal, led by Cristiano Ronaldo and guided by manager Roberto Martinez, qualified for the tournament with 10 wins from 10 games. Scoring an impressive 32 goals in the process and conceding just 2. Their pre-tournament odds of 7/1 put them as serious contenders and they are definitely not to be written off. With a wealth of Premier League talent, including Bruno Fernandes, Bernardo Silva, and Ruben Dias, Portugal could progress in Group F ahead of Turkey and the Czech Republic, and you would be foolish to under estimate them against some of the biggest teams in the tournament should they reach the knockout stages.
Verdict: Strong worth considering. However, odds fairly reflect their chances.
Spain’s squad features a mixture of youth and experience under Luis de la Fuente. Despite setbacks like Gavi’s injury, La Roja remains a force to be reckoned with in Group B against Italy, Croatia, and Albania. It’s certainly not the easiest group to progress from, but with a talented squad and a good record in this competition (1st, 1st, 10th, 3rd in the last four tournaments), no one would be surprised to see Spain reach the later stages of Euro 2024.
Verdict: Contenders but better options available.
Belgium, with odds at 11/1, signed off their qualifying campaign with a 5-0 win at home to Azerbaijan,with star striker Romelu Lukaku bagging four goals. While lacking the depth of previous years, Belgium possess world-class talent and it would be a disappointment for them not to top Group E ahead of Slovakia, Romania. Should they achieve that, they’d be just four wins away from victory.
Verdict: Lots of potential. Rarely produce the goods to go all the way.
Italy, defending champions, face the challenge of maintaining their Euro crown at odds at 14/1. They will have to find a bit of form before the summer to stand a chance given that they’ve been drawn in the same group as Spain & Croatia.
Verdict: Don’t write them off but current form is a big concern.
The Netherlands, led by Ronald Koeman, are priced at 16/1. They were one of our outsider tips to reach the final of the 2022 World Cup at 13/2, and although they were eliminated in the quarters, they did show some good football. They finished 2nd behind France in qualifying with 6 wins & 2 losses. They could be up against it again, being drawn against France in the main draw, but odds of 16/1 will be enough to tempt some into having a small wager.
Verdict: Improvement needed but they have potential.
Croatia are persistent challengers in all major tournaments. They’re priced at 25/1 but are drawn alongside Spain and Italy. However, I wouldn’t be surprised to see them make it out of Group B and so a small wager on them reaching the quarter, or semi-finals, is definitely worth considering.
Verdict: 7/1 to reach the semi’s or 9/4 the quarters is worth a look at.
Turkey having impressed in the qualifiers, emerge as dark horses at 66/1. They finished top of their group with victories against both Croatia and Wales, and are one of the outsiders to ponder over.
Verdict: Tempting odds to reach the reach the quarter-finals.
Scotland have been drawn into Group A along with the hosts Germany, Hungary and Switzerland. It’s a tough ask for Steve Clarke’s side but reaching the knockouts isn’t unachievable. The Tartan Army are priced at 80/1 pre-tournament to go all the way but your money is best kept in your pocket for that one.
Verdict: No-go.
It’s rare for an outsider to go all the way in the Euros, although it does happen. Greece defeated Portugal in the final of 2004, and were priced at 50/1 prior to the tournament starting.
France and England are rightly favourites. Along with squads filled with world-class players, they’re consistent performers, which puts them ahead of other likely contenders at the moment such as Germany, Italy and Belgium. I’m leaning slightly more towards France and pre-tournament odds of 4/1 are reasonable.
Portugal could be contenders but I do wish they were at slightly greater odds than 8/1. They had a great qualifying campaign but I’m not fully convinced that they can turn over the best of teams consistently throughout the knockouts. However, I think they’ll give it a good go and they make a great choice if you’re looking to back a team at slightly higher odds than the favourites.
To Win Euro 2024: France @ 4/1
To Reach The Semi Finals: Portugal @ 6/4
To Reach The Quarter-Finals: Croatia @ 9/4

If you’re having a bet on Euro 2024, it can be extremely useful if you know who the penalty and free kick takers are for each country. This is especially true if you are betting on first scorers, anytime scorers, goals to be scored by penalty or free kick, or including one of those markets in a bet builder.
To help you with this, and to hopefully increase your chances of placing winning bets, we’ve put together a list of penalty and free kick takers for each team competing in Euro 2024. We’ve also included backups who may be nominated should the designated taker not be on the pitch.

England head into Euro 2024 as one of the favourites, priced at 7/2 ahead of France (4/1), hosts Germany (7/1) and Spain (8/1).
Southgate’s side reached the final of Euro 2020 and were knocked out in the quarter-finals of the 2022 World Cup. Both of those games were winnable and many will argue that England should have gone on to win on both occasions. However, a new challenge is ahead of the Three Lions, guided by Gareth Southgate who will take charge in his fourth major tournament as manager.
Can England secure a major men’s trophy, ending a drought that dates back to the 1966 World Cup?
There’s a good chance that this could be Southgate’s last opportunity to clinch glory as England’s manager. With a record marked by near-misses in recent tournaments, he’ll no doubt be feeling the pressure and the obligation to bring a trophy home.
Southgate’s contract ends in December 2024 and England’s final standing at the Euro’s may influence whether he continues as manager or not. Failure to reach the later stages of the tournament may result in calls for change, however, returning home with a trophy may be the perfect time for Southgate to step aside with his head held high.
Every manager has tactics which are often recognisable. Southgate is no different. However, his tactics have often undergone scrutiny by fans, especially when England have taken the lead and proceeded to somewhat ‘park the bus’. Of course, not much praise is given when these tactics pay off, but they have cost England in some major games. Croatia at the 2018 World Cup and Italy at Euro 2020 spring to mind.
The irritation comes due to England having a host of talented attacking players. Many who are yet to display their full potential in an England shirt. Harry Kane, Phil Foden, Buyako Saka, Jude Bellingham, Marcus Rashford and several others, all have goals in them, and it would be great to see them playing with a bit more freedom for 90 minutes without the defensive mindset once they get a goal lead.
Another annoyance some fans have towards Southgate is his loyalty to certain players who some believe may not be the best for the job. Harry Maguire and Jordan Henderson are regulars on Southgate’s teamsheet despite one having a dismal domestic season and the other now 33 and playing in Saudi. Kalvin Phillips has also not been getting regular minutes for Manchester City but makes his way into the squad. That’s not to say that all three aren’t good players, but the managers loyalty to some can be fairly questioned should other options be available.
Many would like to see Southgate get the balance right in this tournament. Possibly with tactics aimed slightly more at the attacking front compared to those shown in previous competitions. It’s difficult to get right in different scenarios but he’s proven he’s close to getting it spot on and with this possibly being Southgate’s last chance as England manager, we might see a bit more from England in Germany this year.
So, can England win Euro 2024?
Of course they can.
They have one of the best squad of players in the tournament and have proved in recent years that they can make it through to the final stages of major tournaments.
There will undoubtably be challenges ahead of them should they progress out of their group, with several of the top teams including France, Portugal, Spain, and others, all looking to stand in their way. But there’s no reason why England can’t come out on top this year and go one better than in previous tournaments.
Let’s hope this is England’s year and we send Gareth Southgate off, should he decide to go, with a trophy in the cabinet and his head held high.
While top scorer odds are yet to be released, expect our predictions to spotlight key players like Kylian Mbappe and Harry Kane as front-runners, along with the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Romelu Lukaku. A few outsiders may also be thrown into the mix on each way terms.
