Predictions and Favorites to Win The UEFA European Championship in Germany

Everyone loves a good prediction - and not all of them are always right. Still, some of them are interesting. According to the Uefa Euro 2024 betting odds website, the favorite teams to win, by groups, are:

• Group A: While Germany wants to use the home advantage and bounce back from their recent form. But Scotland, Hungary, and Switzerland could provide stiff competition. Still, out of all the teams, they`re most likely to win the group. Scotland`s recent performance against Spain in the qualifiers suggests they could be a dark horse - let`s see where that goes. Hungary, driven by Dominik Szoboszlai, and a consistently solid Switzerland could make it interesting.
• Group B: Spain, Italy, and Croatia form a "group of death." If you were any less of a team in that group, you would think that. Spain`s midfield depth and Italy`s tactical discipline under Spalletti make them favorites. And Croatia`s experience and resilience shouldn`t be underestimated. Albania, under Sylvinho, could surprise with their tenacity and defensive solidity. But we doubt it. They`ve been put in the worst group possible. A group nicknamed the group of death is never good.
• Group C: England is heavily favored in this group, and we don`t know why, they can never get to the point of winning. Unless you`re a die-hard England football fan, do you remember the last time they won? Never in the Euros and in 1966 for the World Cup. Still, it`s coming home, isn`t it? The real battle may be for the second spot. Denmark and Serbia have potent attacking options. Slovenia, with Benjamin Sesko, could surprise. Expect England to top the group comfortably, as they always do.
• Group D: France is the standout team. There`s not much else to say about them. The Netherlands always does well - especially with a defense led by Virgil van Dijk. The man is almost scary to watch play. Austria, with Ralf Rangnick, might bring tactical surprises but will likely struggle against the sheer quality of France and the Netherlands. The play-off winner would need a monumental effort to get anywhere - you might as well say goodbye to them already.
• Group E: Belgium has a younger team, but they still have experienced talents like Kevin De Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku to top the group. And if you`ve watched De Bruyne and his hair play recently, you`ll understand how one man can change an entire team. Slovakia and Romania will likely compete closely for the second spot. Romania`s young squad could potentially edge out due to their technical ability. The play-off winner B, especially if it`s Ukraine, could impact the group dynamics.
• Group F: Portugal should lead the group. We think their performance will heavily depend on Roberto Martinez`s tactical setup. Turkey, under Vincenzo Montella, could be the group`s dark horse. Czechia, despite their struggles, could surprise us. They just need to settle the high school drama in the camp. But that`s up to them. And let`s see who the play-off winner F is before we make predictions on that.
• Emerging Stars: The tournament would be a platform for emerging stars like Gavi (Spain), but he has an ACL injury. Instead, it`ll be talents like João Félix, Rafael Leão, Jude Bellingham, and Jamal Musiala that shine. And we promise you, they will shine.
• England Wants Glory: England wants it, but can they win it? Let`s look at the history. No wins! But England does always come close, and you could argue they have the best team they`ve ever had. Unless someone, *cough cough*, Bellingham, gets injured.
• Portugal`s Balanced Squad: Under Roberto Martinez, Portugal has the perfect mix of seasoned veterans like Ronaldo and young fit talents - we say fit, because Ronaldo hasn`t actually announced his recovery yet. Predictions are saying he`ll be out of the Euros - he hopes to win for his country before he retires.
• France`s Depth: France has big talents like Mbappé and Griezmann - they`ve also got a strong defensive lineup. They`re a top favorite to win, and we think they have the squad to do it.
• Unexpected Moments: Euro 2024 could see unexpected moments from play-off winners or underdogs in the group stages. Will Albania beat Italy? Could Wales beat Finland in the play-offs and beat England in the quarter-finals? Let`s see.

Predictions (or should we say potential rumors) over, it`s time to focus on who`s the favorite to win:

• England has odds of 7/2 - they have an incredible squad and had an almost flawless Euro qualifying, but they still have a history of never winning. Still, The Three Lions are desperate to end their major tournament drought, and this year definitely has the potential, mainly because of Bellingham. Will Uefa Euro Germany 2024 be the year they win? Let’s see.
• France, the 2018 World Cup winners and always a force to be reckoned with, are hot on their heels with odds of 4/1. Their blend of experienced campaigners and sensational young talents makes them a formidable opponent.
• Germany has the advantage of playing on home soil - but their odds are still tied at 7/1. The hosts are looking to recapture their previous glory. Do you think it`ll happen?
• Spain knows how to play well. They prove it time and time again in these competitions. It`s no wonder they have good odds at 7/1.
• Portugal has a squad of proven winners and exciting new talents. Their odds are 8/1. Under the guidance of Roberto Martinez, we`d say these are fair odds.

Favorites Players to watch

The thoughts of UEFA Euro 2024 fans are that England have the benefit of Bellingham and Foden in their prime, and Germany have overrated players in their team. What do you think about the players in the Euro 2024 football extravaganza? We`ve picked out some players that aren`t always at the top of the watch list but should be.

1. Roony Bardghji (Sweden): This is a striker to keep your eye on. Why? Not many people are talking about him yet, but once they do, you won`t forget him. And he`s already had a memorable moment -he scored against Manchester United in the Champions League. And it was a cracking goal. He`s scored seven goals so far this season and is likely to score another seven more before the season ends. Let`s see how many he gets in the UEFA EURO 2024 in Munich and beyond.
2. Tommaso Baldanzi (Italy): Baldanzi is a young player who will make a big impact. Age is just a number, and at 20 years old, he`s unbelievable. His performances in Italy`s U20 World Cup were immense - could he be the one to bring Italy to victory again in the Uefa euro germany 2024? Let`s see. He`s a great midfielder who`s only had the chance to play 3 matches at Roma.
3. Johan Bakayoko (Belgium): Bakayoko is incredible. Watch him play for yourself and see. He`s unstoppable on the right wing and has incredible pace. He`s scored four goals so far this season and has eight assists. His technical skill matches his impressive numbers.
4. Nikola Čavlina (Croatia): The 21-year-old goalkeeper is incredible. And at only 21, he has played on some of the biggest stages in 2023. Croatia is looking for good results this Euros - it`s Modric`s last one. Do you think he`ll be the unstoppable force of the team? He`s conceded 26 goals this season and has eight clean sheets.
