The buildup for Euro 2024 is finally coming to fruition as Germany take on Scotland tomorrow evening. Just in the nick of time, Bet365 has shared some intriguing insights from their trading team and a survey of football fans across the UK. One thing is for certain, fans are optimistic that Gareth Southgate can take England all the way and claim the first major tournament victory since 1966.
Bet365’s survey highlights the UK’s perspectives on who they believe is most likely to win Euro 2024, alongside betting data that uncovers some interesting insights. Here are the statistics on the top 5 favoured teams:
The survey and betting figures suggest that fans are confident England will learn from their Euro 2020 disappointing final and will bring football home once again. Another interesting factor about these stats is the gap between the percentage of respondents that favoured England to win (40%) and the percentage of punters that placed a wager on them (17.7%). Although more than double voted for England to win, the betting data suggest a tighter battle amongst the top 5. For more insights, check out our Euro 2024 betting tips.

Bet365’s survey also shines a light on who fans think will be the standout players during Euro 2024:
Jude Bellingham is the clear favourite to win player of the tournament amongst the fans, yet double the amount of punters have backed Kylian Mbappé at lower odds. This is the second time we’ve seen a high percentage of votes backing England, in this case an English player. On the contrary, far less punters are placing bets on them to win, suggesting English fans could be biased and slightly overconfident.
Bet365 has also provided insights into the most assists and young player markets:
