Euro 2020 Betting Tips
As you would expect, the big footballing nations dominate the betting markets for Euro 2020, and everyone has their own opinion of who the winner will be.
Euro 2020 Main Contenders
England
England are right amongst the favourites at a major tournament, and it is easy to see why. The team that Gareth Southgate will have at his disposal is full of players either in their prime, or still young and improving.
Phil Foden has developed into one of the best talents in the Premier League and gives England a genuine threat alongside the likes of Harry Kane, Marcus Rashford and Raheem Sterling. This team will score goals and enter the tournament with England’s best chance of winning a major tournament for many years.
France
Winners of the 2018 World Cup and runners up at Euro 2016, this French team has come together and, in many respects, they are the same as England, but a couple of years ahead, with almost everyone in their prime. Mbappe, Pogba, Griezmann are all top class, and perhaps most of all compared to their main rivals, this team knows how to win. They have been there, suffered defeat and then felt victory, they will want the same feeling again.
Belgium
The ‘Golden Era’ of Belgian football is gradually coming to an end, and at the moment they do not have a trophy to show for their abilities. The pressure is on to succeed, and given how unfit star man Eden Hazard has been for the past 12 months, they may have to do it with little impact from the midfielder. Of the main three, there is definitely an argument for saying that Belgium have the most pressure on them, and it’ll be interesting to see how they cope with that.
Portugal
On paper, the current holders of this competition look even stronger this time out and seem perfectly built for tournament football. They keep things tight, play a rigid style that works well in one-off games and group stages, and they have the X factor in Cristiano Ronaldo.
A handful of players on this team may be coming towards the end of their international career, but don’t be surprised if they go out with a bang and go far here. It is easy to see why some people fancy a bet on Portugal at bigger odds.
Any Other Contenders?
We’ve not mentioned the likes of Germany, Spain and Italy yet, three giants of the European game, but all three do have different question marks hanging over them. Germany still look in transition mode, and a couple of years away from being set up to contend, Spain appear to have no identity at the minute and don’t know which way to go, while Italy appear to lack quality compared to the best.
Expect all three to reach the knockout rounds, but where they are now doesn’t scream out as them being ready to contend.
Top Scorer Betting
The big names from the contender nations dominate this market and it is vital that you choose a player who you expect to play a lot of games. Look out for the likes of Harry Kane (World Cup golden boot winner in 2018) for England, Kylian Mbappe or Antoine Griezmann (winner in 2016) for France, Cristiano Ronaldo for Portugal or Romelu Lukaku for Belgium.
Where this could be decided is in the group stage, and for that reason, Kane and Lukaku stand out as they have far easier group stages to rack up some goals before the knockout phase.
Group Betting
Another way to bet on the tournament is by choosing the group winners. This is a great market to place a pre-tournament acca.
The likes of England, Belgium, Italy and Spain are going to be incredibly popular here, as they all appear to have fairly easy passages to the knockout phase.
In terms of a group to place a single bet on, group F has been labelled as the ‘group of death’ and features France, Germany and Portugal, with Hungary being the unlucky opponent for them all.
Germany could well end up finishing in third place here, with France looking to be far superior to them and Portugal being excellent in situations like this at major tournaments. It is certainly the group to watch at this tournament.

Euro 2020 begins on Fri 11th June 2021 with Turkey v Italy in Rome. The tournament runs for 30 days and ends with the Final on Sunday 11th July at Wembley Stadium.
England and France are currently the joint favourites to win Euro 2020, with most bookmakers offering odds of 5/1 for England to win and 5/1 for France. Belgium are third favourites at 6/1.
This depends on which teams/matches you want to bet on. However, to get the best odds consistently, you want to bet with a bookmaker that has low margins on football (taking less profit for themselves and paying more out to punters). The best bookies for this would be bet365 and Betfred.
Live coverage of Euro 2020, from the group stage matches through to the semi-finals, will be split between the BBC and ITV. Both channels will broadcast the final on Sunday 11th July.
Yes, like it or loathe it, Video Assisted Referee technology (VAR) will be used at Euro 2020.
All 24 countries competing at Euro 2020 must announce their squads by 1st June 2021.
