England Odds to Win Euro 2024 (Via BetMGM)

England’s History at the Euros

England’s history at the Euros doesn’t make for a good viewing. They have never won the tournament with the furthest they have ever gotten being in 2021 when they finished runner-up at Wembley. In 2016 they were famously knocked out by a very weak Iceland team in the round of 16 during a tournament that turned out to be quite winnable for the Three Lions after an average Portugal side ended up as winners. In 2008 they didn’t even qualify, with Steve Mclaren’s side being knocked out during the qualification stage.

Euro 2024 Odds

Here, I will talk you through the latest betting odds for Euro 2024.

England

England go into the final as the underdog to win the Euros. England’s team are arguably the most talented in the competition however they have not shown this in their performances. They have a very talented and exciting young squad full of world-class players from defence to attack. Harry Kane has been England’s main attacking threat with 3 goals but there are plenty more goal threats around him such as Jude Bellingham and Bukayo Saka. Most betting sites are pricing England at 6/5 to win the Euros. England have been poor so far which has led to the team receiving some criticism.

Spain

Spain have the joint most amount of euro titles in history and are the only country to win twice in a row. However, since they achieved this in 2012 they have not won a single international trophy. This Spanish side will be desperate to put an end to this drought and their new boss Luis de la Fuente has had a great start to his time managing the team. Spain have only lost two games since De la Fuente took charge. Spain have been by far the most impressive team in the competition so far defeating the likes of Croatia, Italy, Germany and France. 16 year old winger Lamine Yamal has been highly impressive and is the favourite to win Player of the Tournament. Spain are priced at 13/20 to win Euro 2024 making them the favourites.

Southgate’s English Squad

Below is the lineup Gareth Southgate has gone with at Euro 2024.

Goalkeepers

It’s of no surprise that Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford is the starting keeper for England this summer. He has been a constant name in Southgate’s team over the years and is clearly someone he trusts.

Defenders

Again it’s no surprise to see Kyle Walker playing at right back for England. Similar to Pickford he has been a constant name in Southgate’s team since he got the job.

At center back John Stones is unsurprisingly starting every game however seeing Marc Guehi starting for England due to Harry Maguire’s injury comes as a bit of a shock. Ezri Konsa started for England against Switzerland in replace of the suspended Marc Guehi.

At left back England have had to shoehorn Kieran Trippier out of position where he has struggled due to being right-footed. Many England fans will wonder why Luke Shaw was the only natural left back brought to Germany despite clearly being unfit.

Midfielders

Declan Rice has started every game for England however Southgate has struggled massively with finding him a suitable partner. Trent Alexander Arnold was originally experimented in midfield however it was clear to see after two games that he wasn’t capable of playing there. Conor Gallagher was then given a shot however he was a bit of a failure as well. Kobbie Mainoo then got a chance and has been the best fit so far. Jude Bellingham has played in an attacking midfield role and has played quite poorly other than the opening game against Serbia and a last minute goal against Slovakia to keep them in the tournament.

Forwards

Harry Kane is of course up top for England with Phil Foden and Bukayo Saka playing on the wings. All three have struggled to connect with each other and the pairing does not seem to be working. Phil Foden in particular has struggled throughout the tournament however Kane and Saka have not been great either. Both Foden and Saka are wingers who like the ball played to their feet rather than running in behind which doesn’t suit Kane who also likes to drop deep and get the ball to his feet.

Many are calling for Cole Palmer to be given a shot however, he is also a player who prefers getting the ball to his feet instead of running in behind. Anthony Gordon would be the better option if Southgate was to try something new due to his style of play and pace.

England’s Group Stage

England were placed in Group D in the Euros and faced Denmark, Slovenia, and Serbia. They did top this group however received some criticism for their performances only winning one game against Serbia.

England’s Route to the Final

England’s route to the final was much easier than originally expected. They were always expected to miss the likes of Portugal, Spain and Germany however, both France and Belgium shockingly came second in their group leaving England to play easier teams like Slovakia and Switzerland in the knockout stages. Both of these games went to extra time with the Switzerland game even making it to a penalty shootout. Finally, in the semi- final, the game looked set to go to extra time once again but Ollie Watkins’ last minute goal won England the game in normal time.

The Final

England will face Spain in the final of Euro 2024 on July 14th. This will be a tough matchup for England as Spain have been much better than them throughout the tournament playing better football despite coming up against harder teams like Germany and France.

My Prediction

There is no reason to say that England can’t win the Euros. They have arguably the best team on paper and there seems to be a good mood in the English camp. Despite this, I’m backing Spain to win the Euros at odds of 13/20. They have played far greater football so far and have also proved themselves against far greater opposition such as Germany and France. England’s toughest opponent so far has been The Netherlands who they beat thanks to a last-minute winner..
