Belgium Odds to Win Euro 2024 (Via BetMGM)

Belgium’s History at the Euros

The furthest Belgium have ever gotten in the European Championships is second place when they lost to Germany in the final of the 1980 European Championship. Their recent history in the Euros is disappointing considering the crop of players they had. In the last two European Championships, they have been knocked out in the quarter-finals. Their elimination in Euro 2016 will hurt the most after they were eliminated by a poor Wales side in a tournament that eventually saw an average Portugal side win the trophy.

Belgium Odds to Win Euro 2024

Belgium are seen as outsiders to win Euro 2024 with odds of 33/1. England is the current favourite for the competition at odds of 7/2.

Top Players For Belgium in Euro 2024

Belgium are a dark horse for this tournament and if they can get their key players to perform well they could easily get very far. Below are three key players for Belgium that could have an exciting Euro 2024.

Kevin De Bruyne

Kevin De Bruyne is in my opinion the second-best player in the world. He is easily one of the greatest football players to ever play in the Premier League. He has been a crucial aspect of Manchester City’s dominance of the Premier League in recent years. His vision and passing ability is the best in the world. He spent half of this season injured yet still managed to come away with ten assists and four goals in eighteen league games. If De Bruyne can continue his form he will be a massive asset for Belgium this summer. He scored a crucial goal against Romania to put Belgium 2-0 up. He is priced at 33/1 to be the Euro 2024 Player of the Tournament.

Romelu Lukaku

Romelu Lukaku gets a bad rep sometimes largely due to a bad spell at Chelsea and an awful end to his time at Manchester United but I think it can often be totally undeserved. When he is on his game he is still a top goalscorer. He scored 21 goals in all competitions for AS Roma this season and his time at Inter Milan was a massive success. His Belgium record is fantastic with 83 goals in 114 games No player managed to score as many goals during the European Championship qualifying rounds as Lukaku who scored 14 including a hat trick against Sweden and crucial goals against Austria. If Lukaku can play at his best this summer him and Kevin De Bruyne could combine for a lot of goals. He has been unlucky in this Euros so far and has had three goals disallowed. Lukaku is currently priced at 25/1 to win the Euro 2024 Golden Boot.

Belgium’s Rising Star – Jeremy Doku

Jeremy Doku moved to Manchester City last summer for £60 million and for the most part, it has been a successful season. He played 29 games for the Premier League champions including 18 starts. Doku has shown a lot of promise this season and when he is at his best he is very exciting to watch. The young winger will likely start on the wing for Belgium this summer and is in contention to win the Euro 2024 Young Player of the Tournament. You can bet on Doku to win this at odds of 33/1.

Belgium Top Scorer Odds for Euro 2024

Romelu Lukaku is the Belgium player with the lowest odds of winning top scorer with odds of 25/1. Kevin De Bruyne is in second place and can be backed at 40/1. The current favourite to win the Euro 2024 Golden Boot is Harry Kane at odds of 5/1. Cristiano Ronaldo is the current holder of the award and can be backed to win it again at odds of 25/1.

Belgium Route to the Final

Belgium’s route to the final past the group stages looks difficult which explains the 33/1 odds of Belgium winning Euro 2024. Here I will take you through Belgium’s route to the final. For this route to the final, I will be assuming that Belgium managed to qualify for the knockout stage by coming first in their group.

Round of 16

Belgium face France in the round of 16 on July 1st.

Quarter Finals

In the quarter-finals their most likely opponent will be Portugal.

Semi-Finals

If they can get past my personal favourites to win the tournament, they will then have to face either Spain or Germany who have been the two best teams in the tournament so far.

Final

Should they make the finals, their most likely opponent would be England.

Expected Team Line Up for Belgium at the Euros

Belgium manager Dominico Todesco will have a tough challenge in picking a starting 11 considering the amount of quality within this Belgium team. Below is the current starting 11 for Belgium at Euro 2024.

Goalkeeper

Wolfsburg goalkeeper Koen Casteels has to taken over as Belgium’s Number One after Thibaut Courtois was surprisingly left out of the squad.

Defenders

Timothy Castagnehas started as right-back after a decent season with Fulham whilst Rennes Arthur Theate is the current left-back.

In the centre Belgium’s record appearance holder Jan Vertonghenis leading the backline with Leicester’s Wout Faes joining him.

Midfielders

In midfield, Kevin De Bruyneis naturally the first name on the team sheet, with Everton’s Amadou Onana playing deeper with him. After a goal last weekend, Youri Tielemanns will likely partner Onana for the rest of the tournament.

Attackers

In attack, Romelu Lukaku is leading the line with Trossard and Dokusharing the wings.

Comparing Belgium to Other Teams to Win the Euros 2024

Although this Belgium squad is full of talent, they are still dark horses for the competition due to the level of quality within some of the other squads. Below I will compare some of the other teams in the competition to this Belgium side.

England

England are the favourites for the tournament with odds of 7/2. On paper, they do have a better side than this Belgium side with players like Jude Bellingham, Harry Kane and Phil Foden. If England can go on to win this tournament it would be their first ever European Championship victory. They will need to seriously improve their performances after struggling against Serbia, Denmark and Slovenia

France

France are the team I believe will go on to win the tournament. They have proven multiple times that they know how to get far in international competitions. Their team is better than this Belgium side in most areas and they also have the best player in the world in Kylian Mbappe, playing for them. France can be backed at 13/2 to win the Euros. France have started this tournament quite poorly finishing in second place and not scoring a goal from open play yet.
