Euro 2024 odds for the outright winner: England among favourites

UEFA Euro 2024 gets underway in Germany on 14th June, with the final in Berlin on 14th July. 

For just over one month, the best stadiums in Germany will host the top football nations on the continent as they attempt to win the 2024 Euros. 

In the latest Euro 2024 odds, England is the betting favourite to win the competition. But Gareth Southgate and his team are carrying the expectations of a nation as the tournament approaches. 

The question is, can they handle it? If the latest odds for England to win Euro 2024 are correct, then the answer has to be yes.

England’s odds to win the 2024 Euros

England are the 10/3 betting favourites to win Euro 2024. They are just ahead of France at 7/2, indicating that the bookmakers see the English and the French as the two teams to beat in the competition.

Anybody who has followed England in recent years and knows a bit about betting knows that England doesn’t usually enter tournaments as the betting favourites. 

They may have been favourites with some bookies to win Euro 2020. But that was down to the final being at Wembley, and effectively a home competition for Southgate’s men.  

This competition is in Germany. And with the Germans traditionally the footballing powerhouse of Europe, England has no right to enter the competition as the betting favourites. 

So why are England the favourites? Well, look at the squad of players they have to choose from. And more importantly, look at the form of some of England’s key attacking players.

Harry Kane will spearhead the attack. The England captain has been breaking records galore since he transferred to Bavaria. His Bayern team may have failed to win the Bundesliga. But Kane has done his job for the team. Of that, there can be no doubt.

Playing just behind Kane for England is going to be Jude Bellingham. He has been an absolute revelation since he transferred to Spain to play for Real Madrid. 

At just 20 years of age, Bellingham is performing like a seasoned pro at the top level. If the former Birmingham City star is nowhere near his best at such a tender age, then it’s scary to think how good he can become.  

On the flanks, England will have Manchester City’s Phil Foden and Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka. Both are playing at an incredibly high level this season, as is Declan Rice, the man set to anchor the midfield. 

In short, England have five of the in-form players in Europe this season. So it’s not hard to see why they are the betting favourites to win Euro 2024.

Euro 2024 favourites 

England isn’t the only nation competing in the tournament, and a look at the teams they will have to overcome to win the championship should send a shiver down the spine of many a Three Lions fan. 

🇫🇷 France (7/2)

Anybody who wants to win Euro 2024 will have to overcome France. The French are the 2018 FIFA World Cup winners, and they also got to the 2022 World Cup final with the majority of players set to make up their Euro 2024 squad. In Didier Deschamps, they have a manager who has done it all as a player and coach. And with Kylian Mbappe, they have probably the best play in the world. It’s not hard to see why the French are a lot of people’s betting tip to win the competition.

🇩🇪 Germany (11/2)

As the host nation, the Germans will always have a chance. Up until the March international break, the Germans had been in poor form in recent months, a run which saw Hansi Flick become the first German manager to ever be sacked. They also have a poor competition record since winning the FIFA World Cup in 2014. Not the strongest side in the competition, but the Germans still have the players to beat anybody on their day.

🇪🇸 Spain (8/1)

Expect Luis de la Fuente’s team to dominate the possession in Germany this summer. They always do. If, and this is a huge if, Spain can turn possession into goals, they would be the best team in the world. The problem is, they can’t. If they do blow hot in front of the goal, then they could be a great dark horse bet at 8/1.

🇵🇹 Portugal (8/1)

When you look down the list of the Portuguese national team you wonder why they haven’t been more competitive in the latter stages of major competitions. In Euro 2020, they went out to Belgium in the Round of 16. In the 2022 World Cup, they lost to Morocco in the last eight. If all goes to form, expect the Portuguese to falter when they face the stronger teams later in the competition.

🇧🇪 Belgium (14/1)

We keep hearing this is the last chance of the Belgian golden generation. Okay, the likes of Kevin de Bruyne are on the wrong side of 30, but there is some serious talent coming through and Belgium have a genuine chance of doing well.   

Bet on Belgium at 14/1 with Betfred

🇮🇹 Italy (14/1)

The Italians are the defending champions having defeated England on penalties to win Euro 2020. They somehow managed to not qualify for the 2022 FIFA World Cup. And they were comfortably second best to England in qualifying for this tournament. 

Bet on Italy at 14/1 with BetMGM

🇳🇱 Netherlands (16/1)

In their recent 4-0 friendly win over Scotland, Ronald Koeman’s team looked anything but potential winners, despite the scoreline. In the 2022 World Cup, the Dutch went out to eventual winners Argentina in the quarter-finals. They lost on penalties, but the truth is they were lucky to take the match that deep. We feel they should be longer odds than 16/1.

Bet on Netherlands at 16/1 with Sky Bet

🇭🇷 Croatia (40/1)

With Luka Modric still pulling the strings in midfield, Croatia are a nation that no one will fancy playing. The team never seems to know when they are beaten, and as they showed at the 2018 and 2022 World Cups, they are a match for anybody on their day. For some reason, their record at the Euros doesn’t match their World Cup exploits. 

Bet on Croatia at 40/1 with BetVictor

🇩🇰 Denmark (40/1)

The Danes made it to the semi-final of Euro 2020 and were unlucky to lose to England at Wembley, with Gareth Southgate’s team needing extra time to see Kasper Hjulmand’s team off. In the 2022 World Cup, the Danes failed to make it past the group stage.

Bet on Denmark at 40/1 with BetUK

🇹🇷 Turkey (50/1)

Turkey qualified for Euro 2024 by winning Group D with 17 points from eight matches. This saw Vincenzo Montella’s team finish above Croatia and was a welcome boost after they failed to qualify for the 2022 World Cup. The Turks are a dangerous side, but we don’t expect them to still be involved in the latter stages.

Bet on Turkiye at 50/1 with bet365

🇨🇭 Switzerland (66/1)

The Swiss are one of those teams that always seem to qualify for the major championships but rarely make it to the latter stages. At Euro 2020, they made it into the quarter-finals, claiming the scalp of France along the way, before losing to Spain. At the 2022 World Cup, they lost 6-1 to Portugal in the Round of 16.

Bet on Switzerland at 66/1 with Betfred

🇷🇸 Serbia (66/1)

The Serbs find themselves in Group C with England, Denmark and Slovenia. They didn’t qualify for Euro 2020, and in the 2022 FIFA World Cup, they went out in the group stages, finishing bottom of Group G with just one point from three games.

🇦🇹 Austria (80/1)

How’s your luck? The Austrians have ended up in Group D with Poland, the Netherlands and France. They qualified comfortably for the finals, finishing second to Belgium in Group F by just a single point.

🇭🇺 Hungary (80/1)

Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai will be key to Hungary’s chances of advancing out of Group A. The Hungarians do have a chance as Group A is very open. Germany is beatable and you can take your pick between the Swiss and Scotland.

🏴 Scotland (80/1)

The Scots seem to have run out of form at exactly the wrong time. Steve Clarke’s men got off to a flyer in qualifying and were home and dry in Group A with plenty to spare. But since then, form has deserted the Tartan Army and they have been conceding goals at an alarming rate.

🇺🇦 Ukraine (100/1)

After falling so desperately short in qualifying for the 2022 World Cup, Ukraine made no mistake in the playoffs for this summer’s Euros. A 2-1 win away to Bosnia and Herzegovina was followed by a 2-1 win over Iceland in the playoff final. The Ukrainians had to come from a goal down to clinch their place.

🇨🇿 Czech Republic (150/1)

The Czech Republic qualified for Euro 2024 by finishing second to Albania in Group E. Qualification wasn’t comfortable, with a 1-1 draw away to third-place Poland in their penultimate match, the key result that saw them qualify. In Germany, the Czechs have been drawn in Group F alongside Portugal, Turkiye and Georgia.

🇵🇱 Poland (150/1)

The Poles had to go through the trauma of the playoffs to seal their spot in Germany this summer. After finishing third behind Albania and the Czech Republic in qualifying, Poland needed penalties to see off Wales on a nail-biting night in Cardiff to claim the final place in Group D alongside the Netherlands, France and Austria.

🇷🇴 Romania (200/1)

Romania have been drawn in Group E alongside Ukraine, Slovakia and Belgium. After qualifying as the comfortable winners of Group I, they may fancy their chances of a run to the knockout stages in Germany.

🇸🇮 Slovenia (250/1)

Slovenia take their place in Group C alongside England, Denmark and Serbia. It looks like finishing as one of the best third-placed teams is their best chance of progressing into the knockout stages.

🇦🇱 Albania (500/1)

After qualifying as the winners of Group E, Albania may feel slightly aggrieved at the bookmakers for putting them down as one of the betting no hopes at Euro 2024. They have been drawn in a Group B alongside Italy, Spain and Croatia, which may go a long way to explaining their lengthy Euro 2024 winner odds.

🇸🇰 Slovakia (500/1)

Drawn in Group E alongside Ukraine, Romania and Belgium, the Slovaks may have an eye on upsetting the odds and making it to the knockout stages of the competition. They qualified for Germany by finishing second to Portugal in Group J with an impressive 22 points from ten games.

Bet on Slovakia at 500/1 with Betfred

🇬🇪 Georgia (500/1)

Georgia had to rely on the playoff route to get to Germany after finishing fourth in Group A qualifying with just eight points from eight games. Somewhat against the odds, they overcame Luxembourg and Greece in the playoffs to take their place at Euro 2024.

England's potential matchups after the group stage

England is just 2/5 to win Group C at Euro 2024. To qualify from the group, Gareth Southgate's team are 1/25 and in the betting not to qualify, England is 12/1. 

Should England win the group as expected, they would go into the Round of 16 where they will face the nation that finishes third in one of Groups D, E or F. 

That could potentially involve a clash with one of the Netherlands, France, Poland or Austria, should England’s opponents come from Group D. 

The most dangerous side in Group E is Belgium, and in Group F, it would be Portugal. The chances are both those nations won’t be outside of their respective top two positions, so it’s unlikely England would face either. 

Potential quarter-final opponents would be the runners-up of Group A or Group B. That could be Germany or Scotland from Group A, or any of Spain, Italy or Croatia from Group B. Possible semi-final opponents would come from the winners of Group D and Group E.

If England falters and finishes second in Group C, then potential opponents could be Germany in Dortmund, as the runners-up in Group C face the winners of Group A. That’s also Scotland’s group. 

A quarter-final on this pathway would involve playing the winner of Group B, which could involve a rematch of the Euro 2020 final against Italy. Possible semi-final opponents could be the winner of Group F (Portugal) or the runners-up of Group D or E.

Worse still for Gareth Southgate, apart from not being let back in the country, if his team finishes third in Group C, they could end up playing the winner of Group E (possibly Belgium), or Group F (Portugal) in the Round of 16. 

It’s hard to know what pathway England would take if they did have a stinker and finish third, as it depends on the outcomes of the third-placed teams in certain other groups as well. 

My personal favourites for the outright winner of Euro 2024

Can England be trusted to win Euro 2024? Out of Europe’s top teams, France looks the most dangerous team and the biggest threat to Gareth Southgate’s men. But going on current form, it’s not hard to see why England are the betting favourites to win the competition. 

They have a great mix of youth and experience, in-form players, and they have been building towards a tournament win with a semi-final appearance at the 2018 World Cup and an appearance in the final of Euro 2020.  

It just feels like England’s time, and where better for Gareth Southgate to finally redeem himself for that infamous missed penalty in 1996. Winning a major tournament in Germany’s backyard would certainly right that wrong for the England Head Coach in what is likely to be his last tournament in charge of his nation.

Other nations we feel have a great chance of going deep into the tournament are Belgium and Portugal. Both have squads stacked with talent, and both have winnable groups. If the draw opens up for either nation, they could be good outside tips to win Euro 2024.
