Odds to Win Euro 2024 Championship Favor Familiar Powers
Euro 2024 will be the 17th edition of the European Championship, a tournament that began way back in 1960. This competition will feature 24 teams and will be hosted by Germany between June 14 and July 14 of next year.
France a force to be Reckoned with
As 2018 World Cup Champions and runner-up in 2022, France are undoubtedly a force to be reckoned with. With superstars like Kylian Mbappe and Antoine Griezmann among the ranks, the team boasts a dynamic style of play combining skill, speed and creativity in the final third.
France are the current favorites to win Euro 2024 priced at +400 in the latest UEFA Euro odds. While a lot can change in the year before the tournament, it’s easy to see why Les Bleus are rated so highly. They came extremely close to winning the World Cup, although Euro 2020 was disappointing as they lost on penalties to Switzerland in Bucharest following a thrilling 3-3 draw.
If France is to win Euro 2024, some of their top players will need to perform to their highest level. Captain Mbappe is currently one of the world’s top players and already has the record for most goals scored in World Cup Finals after his hat trick in Qatar took the French agonizingly close to winning the trophy.
England Fully Packed with Star Players
After a heartbreaking penalties loss to Italy in the 2020 UEFA European Championship final, England will be hoping to score their first Euro trophy in 2024. It’s certainly a possibility thanks to a glut of talent, including names like Harry Kane, Raheem Sterling, Bukayo Saka, Marcus Rashford, Jack Grealish and Phil Foden.
The team’s defense is also solid thanks to the likes of John Stones, Kyle Walker and Luke Shaw. With Gareth Southgate’s contract over in December 2024, this will likely be his final major tournament. His troops have come close to glory a few times but never won a title. Sadly for the Three Lions, their returns have been diminishing for the last few years.
England are second favorites priced at +450, thanks to their group of exciting young players coming through. They gained a lot of experience from their run to the quarterfinals in Qatar, where France beat them 2-1.
England finished second at Euro 2020 and will be looking to go one better at the next edition. Southgate has made the team a force again and the Three Lions have a good blend of youth and experience.
Host Germany Third Favorites
The hosts are just behind France and England on the oddsboard at +700. Because of their host status, we don’t have any sense of Germany’s form. They haven’t played any games because they don’t need to qualify.
Back in September 2023, Germany dismissed Hansi Flick as head coach after they were thrashed 4-1 by Japan in a friendly. Flick is the first Germany manager to be sacked since the role came into existence in 1926.
Julian Nagelsmann will now lead Germany into Euro 2024. He signed a contract until July 31, 2024, and his assistants will be Sandro Wagner and Benjamin Gluck. He isn’t just an absolute footballing man but has already proven at all his clubs, at a very young age for a head coach, that he can motivate a team and the entire surroundings.
Spain: Enviable Track Record
Spain’s historic success at the Euros puts them in good stead to pick up a win in 2024. They’re the only team to have won back-to-back tournaments, 2008 and 2012 and are tied with Germany for total wins.
Currently managed by Luis de la FuenteLuis Enrique’s retirement after the 2022 World Cup, the Spanish team is renowned for its intricate passing style, pace and creativity.
Spain recently won the UEFA Nations League under new boss Luis de la Fuente. They have some bright young players to call upon but la Roja are still in transition following Luis Enrique’s departure.
Which teams are the favorites to win the Euro Championship?
France are the current favorites to win Euro 2024 according to the latest soccer odds. World champions in 2018, they finished as runners-up at World Cup 2022, narrowly losing on penalties to Argentina. Didier Deschamps is an experienced international manager and he has a huge talent base to call upon.
Which teams offer the best value bets for the Euro Championship?
Spain are looking to re-assert themselves as international powerhouses in Euro 2024 qualifying after a desperately disappointing 2022 World Cup. They are priced at +800 to go all the way and win the trophy, a great value bet given the squad they have at their disposal.
