As the Three Lions seek to claim a first major trophy since 1966, we’re taking a look at all of the best England Euro 2020 odds. Just like that famous World Cup triumph, Gareth Southgate’s side will have home advantage if they reach the final and are 11/2 with bwin for outright glory.
Everyone loves the excitement of a major international football tournament, so we’ve put together a guide for punters on how to bet on Euro 2020. Club loyalties will be put to one side as elite-level players don their national shirts for this summer’s delayed showpiece.
World champions France look in fine shape ahead of Euro 2020 and are expected to make short work of Bulgaria in their final warm-up match. The visitors have only beaten Gibraltar in 13 outings over the past 10 months and are listed as low as 71 in the FIFA rankings.
Czech Republic could do with a boost ahead of Euro 2020 after being hammered by Italy last week but Albania can be stubborn opponents. The visitors have only lost to England in their last nine outings and held Wales to a goalless draw in Cardiff on Saturday.
Hungary are in the so-called ‘group of death’ at Euro 2020 and may opt to conserve their energy when warming up against Republic of Ireland. The visitors have nothing at stake in Budapest after missing out on this summer’s big event but can always be relied upon to play with pride.
Poland look in reasonable form heading into Euro 2020 and may be keen to find top gear when facing Iceland in their final warm-up match. The Eagles begin their Group E campaign with what could be a pivotal clash with Slovakia, so would ideally like to hit the ground running.
England will finish off their preparations for Euro 2020 by facing Romania in Middlesbrough and a professional win is expected. The Three Lions are on a run of five straight victories, with only one goal conceded, whereas their opponents have lost four in a row.
Scotland have had an encouraging build-up to Euro 2020 and will be keen to maintain the momentum when facing Luxembourg. Their opponents have shown some improvement in recent years but have lost friendlies to Liechtenstein, Austria, Qatar and Norway over the past 10 months.
Wales can be forgiven for a 3-0 loss to France in their first Euro 2020 warm-up match after going down to 10 men with just 25 minutes gone. Robert Page will now be determined to claim a morale-boosting victory over Albania, who are 49 places below them in the FIFA rankings.
Portugal have played some lovely football at U21 Euro 2021 but Germany get the nod for final glory on their pedigree in this tournament. They lifted this trophy for the second time in 2017 and were runners-up two years ago, whereas Esperancas are chasing a maiden triumph.
Any debate about which nation will win the European Championship will naturally centre around the relative strengths and weaknesses of each squad and their key players. However, an often-overlooked factor is the Euro 2020 draw itself.
Italy have built up a lot of momentum heading into Euro 2020 and will no doubt want to maintain that by beating Czech Republic in Bologna. Their opponents have also qualified for this summer’s spectacular but an inconsistent run of results has tempered expectations.
Spain made harder work of getting past Croatia at U21 Euro 2021 than they should have done but still get the nod to see off Portugal in the semi-finals. Their opponents made it past Italy in an absolute thriller and must be respected, but can be tactically naive at times.
Netherlands and Germany drew at MOL Arena Sosto during the group stage of U21 Euro 2021 and another close encounter looks on the cards when they reoppose there in the semis. Both teams had to battle through tight quarter-final tussles.
