Euro 2024 Odds: Can England Bring it Home?
Author: 
England have been installed as the outright favourites in the Euro 2024 odds after enjoying another impressive qualifying campaign. During qualifying, the Three Lions finished top of their group, with six wins, two draws, and no defeats from eight games.
They are now third in the FIFA world rankings, and the bookies have responded by making them the 7/2 favourites to lift the trophy this summer. However, England have fallen agonisingly short on many occasions during Gareth Southgate’s tenure.
They will need to be ruthless in the knockout stages of the competition, while they will face fierce competition from the likes of France, Spain, and Portugal. We have analysed their chances of winning the tournament, highlighted their key rivals, and provided our top tips for Euro 2024 below.
Updated Euro 2024 Odds
England are the narrow favourites to win the Euro 2024 winner odds, ahead of France, Germany, and Spain. Some bookies make them joint favourites with France, the team that beat England at the 2022 World Cup. There is a great deal of value in heavyweights like Italy and the Netherlands too.

Who Will Win Euro 2024?
Germany and Spain are the most successful teams in the history of this tournament, having won it three times apiece. Italy and France have both lifted the trophy twice, and they will be dangerous this time around. These are the leading candidates to win Euro 2024:
France Euro Odds
France will be the team to beat this summer. Les Bleus cruised to victory at the 2018 World Cup, so they were the red-hot favourites to win the last European Championship. However, they struggled for form, and they ultimately suffered a shocking defeat to Switzerland in the Round of 16.
They then went all the way to the final of the 2022 World Cup, and they were unlucky to lose to Argentina on penalties.
Kylian Mbappé is arguably the world’s best player right now, and he will surely run riot against opposition defences this summer. Fellow 2018 World Cup winner Antoine Griezmann is at the peak of his powers too. Younger players like William Saliba, Ibrahima Konaté, Eduardo Camavinga, Aurélin Tchouaméni, and Warren Zaïre-Emery have bolstered the squad, giving France the ultimate blend of flair and steel. It will be very difficult for anyone to stop them winning this tournament.
Odds on England Winning Euros
England came within a whisker of winning the last European Championship, but they lost to Italy in the final. The teams could not be separated after 120 minutes, so it went to penalties, and the Italians ultimately prevailed. It means that England’s trophy drought now stretches back 58 years.

They have suffered all manner of heartbreaks during Southgate’s reign: defeat to Croatia in the 2018 World Cup semi-finals, losing to Italy in the last Euros, and then suffering a brutal 2-1 defeat to France in the 2022 World Cup quarter-finals, with Harry Kane blazing a penalty over the bar. Will it be different this time?
There is certainly cause for optimism. England lack a world-class goalkeeper and the defence is a little shaky, but John Stones is a strong centre-back and they have a lot of high-quality full-backs. England also have arguably the best midfield in the world, featuring Jude Bellingham and Declan Rice. Kane is still a goal machine in attack, flanked by the brilliant Bukayo Saka and potentially Phil Foden or Jack Grealish.
Yet the spectre of France looms over this team. If England and France win their groups, they are on course for a semi-final showdown, and whoever wins that game should go on to lift the trophy. Can the Three Lions finally get the better of their Gallic rivals? If so, they could finally end 58 years of hurt.
Can Germany Win the Euros?
Germany’s recent record in major tournaments is woeful. They failed to escape the group stage at the last two World Cups, and they suffered a comprehensive defeat to England in the Round of 16 at the last European Championship. It is, therefore, a little surprising to see the Germans third in the Euro 2024 betting odds.
However, they lack a focal point in attack, there are question marks over the defence and manager Julian Nagelsmann has struggled to galvanise the squad.
Germany have slipped down to 16th in the FIFA world rankings after losing their last two games. One potential saving grace is that they should end up on the opposite end of the bracket to England and Germany, but it is still hard to justify backing them in the Euro 2024 odds winner market.
Spain Odds to Win Euros
Spain will carry a great deal of momentum into this tournament after winning the Nations League last year. They sacked Luis Enrique after flopping at the 2022 World Cup, and their form has improved under new manager Luis de la Fuente.

The Spaniards were strong in qualifying, but they have landed in a difficult group alongside reigning champions Italy and a dangerous Croatia side. If they manage to finish top of that group, they should land on the opposite side of the draw to France and England. That would seriously boost their chances of reaching the final, as they look superior to Germany right now.
Rodri runs a tight ship in midfield, while the likes of Pedri, Ferran Torres, and teenage sensation Lamine Yamal provide quality in possession. Much will rest on the form of Álvaro Morata, as Spain’s captain has not been particularly prolific while leading the line in major tournaments. If he is on song, Spain should reach the final, making them a tempting each-way bet at 7/1 with Betway.
Other Euro 2024 Contenders
A few teams stand out in this field. Portugal boast a wealth of quality in every department, from Rúben Dias at the back to Cristiano Ronaldo up front. Manager Roberto Martínez could not get Belgium over the line at major tournaments, but he has another golden opportunity to win a trophy with Portugal this summer. He can call upon Bernardo Silva, Diogo Jota, Bruno Fernandes, Rafael Leão, and João Félix in attack, so Portugal will be very dangerous.
They were unfortunate to lose to eventual winners Argentina on penalties at the World Cup in 2022. The Dutch have a rock-solid defence led by Virgil Van Dijk, and quality in midfield too. They lack a striker, but Cody Gakpo is a handful, and they have a great chance of reaching the latter stages of the tournament. You can never write off Croatia either, so this looks like an open tournament.
Tips for How to Bet on Euro 2024
As mentioned earlier, France and England are on a semi-final collision course if both teams win their Euro 2024 groups. The winner of that showdown would emerge as the heavy favourite to lift the trophy, so it might be worth hedging your bets and backing both teams in the Euro 2024 winner odds.
On the other side of the draw, Spain stand out. You can grab odds of 6/4 on them reaching the semi-finals, which looks like a great bet. The Netherlands are also priced at 6/4 to reach the quarter-finals. They are in a tough group, alongside France, but they should reach the knockout stage. If they finish second in Group D, they will face the runner-up from Group F in the Round of 16. That could be the Czech Republic or Turkey, and the Netherlands should be able to beat both teams.
Betting the Euro 2024 Summary
The Euro 2024 odds will change on a daily basis when the tournament gets underway. You can react to these changes by hedging your bets and covering multiple outcomes. For example, if you back the Three Lions of England to win Euro 2024 odds, and they reach the final, you should bet on their opponents to lift the trophy. That will ensure you cover both outcomes, guaranteeing a profit either way.
Keep an eye on each team’s injury lists too. The likes of France, England, and Spain have deep squads, but a couple of injuries to key players could derail teams like the Netherlands or Croatia. Portugal could also struggle if they lose one or two important defenders, so be prepared to react to injury news when browsing the Euro 2024 betting od
