ENGLAND are only SECOND-favourites to win Euro 2020, according to a supercomputer.
The Three Lions booked a date with Denmark at Wembley in Wednesday night’s second semi-final after thumping Ukraine 4-0.
Despite the impressive performance in Rome, England aren’t yet favourites to lift the trophy come Sunday.
In fact, dark horses Italy are now favourites after beating Belgium in their quarter-final, say the numbers from Stats Perform.
Roberto Mancini’s side have looked in imperious form since day one of the tournament after beating Turkey 3-0.
Italy then thumped Switzerland 3-0 before beating Wales 1-0 to top their group with a maximum nine points.
They then won their last 16 and quarter-final ties 2-1 against Austria and Belgium respectively.
And thanks to their 100 per cent record, the supercomputer has given the Italians a 39.8 per cent chance of winning the tournament.
England come in second-favourites having won all but one match – the 0-0 group stage draw with Scotland – with a 29.4 per cent shot.
Spain rank third with a 22.4 per cent chance of going all the way, with Denmark the outsiders with a mere 8.4 per cent shot.

Despite being favourites to win Euro 2020, Italy are NOT the most-likely team to progress to the final, according to the supercomputer.
Thanks to their tougher-looking semi-final against 2008 and 2012 champions Spain, Italy have a 65.8 per cent chance of reaching Sunday’s showdown at Wembley.
England, meanwhile, have a 73.5 per cent shot of making the July 11 encounter, according to the stats.
Spain have a 34.2 per cent chance and Denmark just 26.5 per cent, says the number-crunching computer.
England take on Denmark on Wednesday night at Wembley, while Italy face Spain at the same stadium on Tuesday night.
