Euro 2024 Group B Odds
Group B, also known as the “group of death” is probably the most exciting out of the groups, consisting of three teams in the Top 10 World Rankings, and Albania, possibly the biggest underdog in the entire competition. It features a powerful mix with Spain, Croatia, and Italy, each bringing their unique strengths to the table. This groups combined quality and achievements is bound to create some high stake drama. Let’s take a closer look at these teams, their journey, key players, and our prediction for who will be the winner of Group B.

| Albania vs Spain | Croatia vs Italy |
World Ranking: 8
Spain have earned their reputation as one of Europe’s elite teams, currently sitting in 8th position in the world rankings. Under the guidance of Luis de la Fuente, Spain have won 7 out of the 8 qualifying games, demonstrating their ability whilst securing a spot in the EURO 2024 with absolute ease. They have a blend of experienced players like Alvaro Morata and emerging talents such as Pedri and 17 year old Pau Cubarsi. Despite a recent 1-0 loss to Colombia and a draw against Brazil in friendlies, Spain’s track record in qualification, lifting the Nations League trophy in June, and three EURO titles under their belt, places them as top contender with the potential to add a record-breaking forth title to their collection.
Spain odds to win Group B: 4/5 with Bet365.
World Ranking: 10
Croatia have an experienced squad and despite facing challenges in the qualifying stages with losses against Wales and Turkey, they recently secured wins in their past two games with a 4-2 results against Egypt and win on penalties against Tunisia. A concern for Croatia is an ageing squad, but what they lack in age, they make up with experience from the likes of captain Luka Modric, midfielders Marcelo Brozovic and Mateo Kovacic, as well as forward Andrej Kramaric. Their recent performance history against teams that are average at best, begs the question, can Croatia’s resilience and experience navigate such a difficult group?
Croatia odds to win Group B: 5/1 with BetVictor.
World Ranking: 9
Italy, the defending champions, had a rather sketchy end to the qualifiers with a draw against Ukraine that placed them second in the group, a loss would’ve landed them third. Although it wasn’t an easy ride to the Euros, it’s worth mentioning that both losses in the qualifiers were against England, currently ranked 4th in the world and the same team they beat on penalties to win the title in 2021. England aside, they’ve been reasonably solid, claiming two wins in the previous friendlies against Ecuador and Venezuela. With a squad that includes talents like Nicolo Barella and Federico Chiesa, Italy will want to defend their title.
Italy odds to win Group B: 11/4 with LiveScore Bet.
World Ranking: 66
Albania claimed their spot in the European Championship for just the second time in history after drawing against Moldova back in November. Despite losing their last two friendlies, they have undoubtedly made significant progress under coach Sylvinho, with a remarkable undefeated run of seven games in the qualifiers, highlighted by a 3-0 win against Czech Republic. So, although they are the underdog in the group, they do have potential to cause upsets and defy expectations, but unfortunately they’ve been dealt the worst card with Group B.
Albania odds to win Group B: 25/1 with Bet365.
Group B of UEFA EURO 2024 is set to be a battleground with each team bringing its unique strengths. Spain have a mix of experienced players and a solid performance in the qualifiers, along with their success of three EURO titles, puts them as our favourite to win Group B. Title holders Italy also pose a threat, as do Croatia with an experienced squad, and you can’t rule out Albania with their spirited performances. Nevertheless, Spain’s blend of experience and track record makes them stand out as the probable group winner in what promises to be a very competitive Group B.
Our Prediction – Spain to Win Group B – Best Odds 4/5 with Bet365.
While Spain is our predicted winner for the group, the defending champions Italy, shouldn’t be underestimated. Now unbeaten in four games and lost only one in the previous nine, they’ve shown their capability and resilience to go far in this competition. We predict Spain and Italy will qualify from Group B, with Spain at the top and Italy claiming second.
Our Predictions: Italy to Qualify from Group B – Best Odds 1/4 With BetVictor.
Croatia, with an ageing squad and inconsistent performances in the qualifiers, will find it challenging to get a top spot contending against Spain, who in comparison had an impressive run in the qualifiers, and Italy, despite their losses both home and away to England, have been on a decent run themselves. So with an unlucky draw for Croatia, we see them being knocked out alongside Albania, the lowest ranked team in the group.
Our Predictions: Croatia Not to Qualify from Group B – Best Odds 9/4 With Spreadex.
Albania, despite their undefeated run in the qualifiers, have recently gone down hill with losses against Sweden and a 3-0 thrashing against Chile, who are currently ranked 42 in the world. They also lack the quality of their competitors and will likely find this group the most challenging, having landed themselves such an unlucky card, making Albania our most likely candidate for bottom of Group B.
Our Predictions: Albania to Finish Bottom of Group B – Best Odds 2/5 With Bet365.
Spain is our predicted winner of the group with their mix of experience and young talents. The defending champions should secure the second spot. It’s tricky to call third and fourth place because you’ve got Albania who’ve made heaps of progress this year, with a commendable 3-0 defeat over Czechia, but with a lack of world class talent, we see Croatia’s experienced players taking the advantage here, so our prediction for bottom place will go to Albania
Our Predictions: 1. Spain, 2. Italy, 3. Croatia, 4. Albania – Best Odds Currently 7/2.
