Tuesday’s Football Tips: What’s Your Euro-Vision?

There’s still four places at Euro 2024 up for grabs and we’ll know who completes the list of 24 competitors in seven days times.

For the other 20 teams already qualified it’s the chance to start their prep for the tournament.

England have a couple of glamour friendlies coming up against Belgium and Brazil as Gareth Southgate sizes up his squad selection for the Euro 2024.

The Three Lions are joint favourites alongside France to lift the Henri Delauny trophy at 7/2 and with a hugely talented squad and favourable opening group they’ll be hugely popular with punters back home.

Hosts Germany are third in the betting at 6/1 but it’s hardly a vintage era for the two-time winners who have handed the reins to Julian Nagelsman after a disastrous spell under Hansi Flick who had a win rate of just 48%.

Spain (6/1) and Portugal (7/1) are next in the betting. The Spanish are in a period of transition, failing to live up to the standards set when they won the competition in 2008 and 2012 whilst it looks like it could be a last hurrah for 39-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo who will be determined to bow out in style by repeating Portugal’s success in 2016.

Belgium (14/1) and Netherlands (16/1) have flattered to deceive too often in recent times whereas Italy could be value again at 16s. They’ve a tough group to navigate alongside Spain, Croatia and potential dark horses, Albania, but the Azzuri have reached the final in three of the last six editions of the competition.

That Group B draw makes it tricky to get on side with Croatia at 40/1 but Denmark (33/1) have a decent chance to make the knock-out stages ahead of Slovenia and Serbia in England’s group.

Group E looks the weakest with Belgium, Slovakia and Romania ready to slug it out with the winner of Play-off B (any one from Iceland, Israel, Ukraine and Bosnia-Herzegovina) so, assuming Belgium will top the group, second place will go to at least a 66/1 shot.

They’ll then play the runners-up in Group D, likely to be Netherlands or Austria (if France win the Group). So how about someone like Ukraine (250/1 outright) to reach the semi-finals?

The Tartan Army will add something to the party in Germany and few might be on Scotland at 80/1. Bookies fancy their chances of qualifying from Group A, pricing them up at 8/11 to reach the knock-outs for the first time.

Steve Clarke’s men open the tournament in Munich against Germany and they’re 9/1 to pull off an opening day shock and put one foot in the last 16.

Let us know your early thoughts on who'll be successful at Euro 2024.
