Which team will most likely win Euro 2024?
To find out which team will most likely win the Euro 2024 football tournament, the best thing to do would be to look at the latest odds at fully licensed and regulated iGaming sites like the official Unibet website. The odds and implied probability rate can give us a better idea of who might win.
Here are the latest odds, starting with the odds-on favourite (the team most likely to win Euro 2024):
England – the current joint odds-on favourite to win Euro 2024 outright. Fractional odds = 4/1. Decimal odds = 5.00. American/moneyline odds = +400. Implied probability rate (IPR) = 20.00%
France – the current joint odds-on favourite along with England to win Euro 2024 outright. Fractional odds = 4/1. Decimal odds = 5.00. American/moneyline odds = +400. Implied probability rate (IPR) = 20.00%
Germany – the second odds-on favourite to win Euro 2024 outright. Fractional odds = 7/1. Decimal odds = 8.00. American/moneyline odds = +700. Implied probability rate (IPR) = 12.50%
Spain – the third odds-on favourite to win Euro 2024 outright. Fractional odds = 8/1. Decimal odds = 9.00. American/moneyline odds = +800. Implied probability rate (IPR) = 11.10%
You then have Portugal at 9/1 with only a 10% chance of winning, the Netherlands at 12/1 with a 7.70% chance, and both Belgium and Italy at 16/1 with a 5.90% chance.
In comparison, the two least favourite teams to win, Malta and San Marino, are currently priced, on average, at 5,000/1 and 7,000/1, respectively, meaning they have a 0% chance of winning.
Which countries are the most successful at the UEFA European Championship finals?
The two most successful teams at the UEFA European Championship finals (aka The Euros) are Germany and Spain, who have both won the tournament on three separate occasions.
Germany won in 1972, 1980, and 1996, and Spain won in 1964, 2008, and 2012. You then have Italy (2), who won in 1968 and 2020, and France (also 2), who won in 1984 and 2000.
Other teams that have won the Euros are Russia (1), Czech Republic (1), Portugal (1), Netherlands (1), and Greece (1). The current odds-on favourites, England, have never won. However, they did make it to the finals in 2020 but ended up losing to Italy, who won their second European final.
