Even though there are often sensations in football, bookmakers and football experts have already been able to predict which teams have the best chance of winning this European tournament. Those interested in the latest betting insights and guides can visit https://rg.org/guides.
First of all, the primary preference is given to the English. The coaching team at Garrett Southgate has quite a potent lineup that is literally ‘shining’ with its stars. Here are the season’s top scorer, Harry Kane, the main discovery of the year, Phil Foden, and many other valuable and promising players. In addition, England has such a great selection of players that the head coach of the team decided to leave out the star players Grealish, Maguire, and Maddison.
The English have never been crowned European champions so the tournament will be significant.
Chances
The England national football team is the main favorite to win the upcoming 2024 European Championship in Germany. According to the supercomputer of the statistical company Opta, which conducted 10,000 simulations of the tournament, the probability of its victory is estimated at 19.9%.
France (19.1%), Germany (12.4%), Spain (9.6%), and Portugal (9.2%) were also in the top 5 favorites.
The English, who have never won the European Championship, will play in Group C alongside Denmark, Slovenia, and Serbia.
Italy, the reigning European champion, has a 5% chance of defending its title, according to Opta.
The Georgian national team has the lowest chance of winning the tournament (0.1%).
England’s Main Rivals
Bookmakers consider France to be England’s main rival in the Euro 2024. Championship host Germany comes in third on the bookmakers’ favorites list. The Spanish national team ranked fourth among the 2024 European Football Championship favorites. The Portugal national team also made it into the top five contenders for the Euro 2024 title. Cristiano Ronaldo’s team received good probabilities from experts.
Any big national team tournament is doomed to an endless public interest. All the major stars come to the World Cup and the continental championships. Or almost all of them. Of course, the vast majority of football celebrities do not miss it. But there are also those who, for some reason, remain absent from the main event, usually the summer.
Separately about France
Undisputed favorite No. 1. The best team on the continent in terms of play and composition. After the 2018 triumph, the French national team painlessly injected fresh blood into the squad and replaced the leaders (Benzema, Pogba, Conte, Matuidi, etc.) who dropped out for several reasons. At the Winter Mundial, Didier Deschamps’ wards reached the final without encountering severe resistance and lost to Argentina only because of a failed first half in the final. The current generation of Frenchmen does not seem full of significant victories yet, but they are ready to build on their previous successes. The French national team perfectly combines experience, youth, technique, and physics, demonstrating confident team play. And if the team’s game does not work out, some are ready to solve the episode with individual actions. First of all, of course, we are talking about Kylian Mbappe.
Shadow Favourites
We should not discount the so-called shadow favorites – teams currently not objectively capable of winning the title but could go very far due to particular circumstances. Among them are the Netherlands, Croatia, Belgium, and Spain.
