Euro 2024 is being held in Germany at the midway point in the World Cup cycle. The top national teams in Europe will go head-to-head to win the top European trophy and bragging rights as Europe’s top side. 

While England are favourites, from past experiences, the tournament is unpredictable. Anything can happen. 

For example, Italy who had failed to qualify for the 2018 and 2022 World Cup were 2021 champions against most expectations. This shows that all it takes is for a team to be at their best for one month to stand the chance of being crowned champions of Europe. 

In this article, you will learn about the odds and predictions for Euro 2024. 

Odds for Euro 2024

The favourites to win the Euro are England due to its star-studded lineup of players. One of them is the Ballon D’or favourite Jude Bellingham who had a phenomenal season with Real Madrid. 

The second favourite for the tournament is France. They are on a mission to end their 24-year drought at the tournament. Their best position in recent years has been the semis since they won their last title.

The third team with favourable odds is Germany. They hold a home-ground advantage and have been to the semis twice since 1996. After a disappointing World Cup campaign, they hope to change their luck this Euro. 

Italy is the sixth favourite to win Euro 2024. Despite their struggles in the qualification rounds of the Euro and World Cup, they are the previous champions. Their display before the last Euro they won was not convincing yet they won so they can't be counted out. 

Another team to note is Georgia which is making its first appearance at the tournament. 

The tournament has 24 nations placed in six groups consisting of four teams. The top two teams qualify for the knockout round while four third-place teams will play their way through a ranking table. 

Here are the Group Stage Odds:

• Group A has Germany as winners (-250), Switzerland (-225) and Hungary (-150) to qualify

• Group B has Spain as winners (-130), Croatia (-350) and Italy (-700) to qualify 

• Group C has England as winners (-225), Denmark (-300) and Serbia (-190) to qualify 

• Group D has France as winners (-185), Netherlands (-450) to qualify 

• Group E has Ukraine as winners (+350), Belgium (-1600) to qualify 

• Group F has Portugal as winners (-250), Czechia (-175) and Georgia (+160) to qualify
