Who are the favourites to win Euro 2020? What are the betting odds?

EURO 2020 is just around the corner but who the tournament favourites and what are the latest betting odds?

The prestigious tournament is shaping up to be one of the most wide-open competitions in recent memory and is extremely difficult to predict.

The betting markets have been open since the 24-nation line-up was confirmed back in November 2020.

But plenty has changed since then with the Coronavirus pandemic throwing up a number of shock results and poor performances from some of the big-hitters.

Germany lost to minnows North Macedonia, Belgium laboured to a 1-1 draw with the Czech Republic and Spain failed to beat Greece in the most recent round of World Cup qualifiers.

So how has that altered the odds, and who are the current favourites for the competition? Here, SunSport takes a closer look at the betting market.

The favourites – odds supplied by Betway

• England – 9/2
• France – 5/1
• Belgium – 13/2
• Germany – 8/1
• Spain – 8/1
• Portugal – 9/1
• Italy – 12/1
• Netherlands – 12/1

England are the outright favourites with Betway at odds of 9/2. Gareth Southgate’s side have suffered just two defeats in their last 14 outings – scoring 39 goals in the process.

The Three Lions also have the luxury of a more winnable group having been thrown in with the Czech Republic, Scotland and Croatia.

World Cup champions France are next, available at 5/1. Kylian Mbappe and Co. would perhaps be favourites were it not for being in the Group of Death along with Germany (8/1) and Portugal (9/1).

The dark horses

• Denmark – 28/1
• Croatia – 40/1
• Turkey – 66/1
• Poland – 80/1
• Sweden – 80/1
• Switzerland – 80/1

Denmark are ‘best of the rest’ in the bookmakers’ odds.

But Christian Eriksen, Kasper Schmeichel and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg will be looking to summon the spirit of 1992 to defy odds of 28/1.

Turkey, who recently put three past Germany and beat the Netherlands 4-2, are offered at 60/1 with Poland, Sweden and Switzerland all locked at 80s.

The long shots

• Ukraine – 125/1
• Austria – 150/1
• Czech Republic – 150/1
• Russia – 150/1
• Wales – 150/1
• Scotland – 250/1
• Finland – 400/1
• Hungary – 500/1
• North Macedonia – 500/1
• Slovakia – 500/1

The final batch of contenders are available at triple-figure prices.

However, Greece proved in 2004 that anything is possible when pulling off one of the greatest shocks in international football.

Greece were crowned kings of Europe when starting the competition at 150/1.
