UEFA Euro 2024 Predictions: Matches, Winner & Top Goalscorer

There are only a few weeks left until the start of the Euros, and on this occasion we bring you UEFA Euro 2024 predictions. Which national teams will continue the competition in the knockout phase, who are the candidates for the title and who could be the top scorer? These are all questions that we will try to answer, so read our UEFA Euro 2024 predictions below.

UEFA Euro 2024 predictions: Which teams will play in the knockout phase?

As for the UEFA Euro 2024 predictions regarding which national teams will play in the knockout phase, we will start from group A. In this group, we will watch the host of the upcoming Euro and everything except the passage of Germany to the knockout phase will be a big sensation. Germany has caused a lot of disappointments for its fans in recent times and a new embarrassment should not happen.

This national team is one of the favorites to win the tournament according to the current UEFA Euro 2024 predictions and in this group there should be a big fight for second place because Switzerland, Hungary and Scotland are of similar quality with Switzerland having the most experience in major competitions with solid performances. At the last Euro, they created a sensation by winning against France at the start of the knockout phase. The Hungarians were in trouble for a long time, but they are back on the big stage, and Scotland will be participating in the Euros for the second time in a row.

When it comes to UEFA Euro 2024 predictions related to group B, it is not at all easy to single out one national team, as was the case in the previous group. We can single out Albania as an absolute outsider in the competition of Italy, Spain and Croatia. Italy is defending the title it won at the last Euro by shocking England at Wembley. Spain is the only national team that managed to defend its title at the Euros, and Croatia delighted the entire planet at the last two World Cups.

Our UEFA Euro 2024 predictions for this group point in the direction that one of the best third-placed national teams could be placed in this group. The mutual meetings of the mentioned three national teams will be spectacular, and Albania will try to mess up the accounts from the end.

In Group C, we will see two national teams that met in the semi-finals at the last Euro. Our UEFA Euro 2024 predictions regarding this group are going in the direction that those two national teams, England and Denmark, should decide who will be in the first group in a mutual duel, with England being the favorite to win the first place in the group.

This group also includes two national teams that are returning to the Euro after 24 years, namely Slovenia and Serbia. Slovenia played Denmark in the qualifiers and showed that it can handle this team, and we will see what Serbia can do in this group. If these two national teams mess up the account of the favorites in the group with a victory in the mutual duel, one of them could find themselves in the knockout phase.

When it comes to the UEFA Euro 2024 predictions for Group D, France should justify the role of favourites. Mbappe and his team were twice better than the Netherlands in the qualifiers and now they are again taking on that national team. These national teams should be given more chances to take the first two places compared to Austria and Poland.

Austria should not be underestimated because at the last Euro, they tormented the later champions Italy at the start of the knockout phase. Poland has been a regular participant in major competitions for years, and it arrived at this Euro with a lot of luck, because against Wales in the playoff final, it did not send a single shot into the frame of the goal, but it was better after the penalty. It will probably be one of the last major competitions in which Robert Lewandowski will play.

A real miracle would have to happen so that Belgium does not end up in first place in Group E, given that its rivals are Slovakia, Romania and Ukraine. This is a new generation that will try to do what the previous one failed to do, although it seems that Belgium would be much more favored by a stronger group for success in this tournament. As for the UEFA Euro 2024 predictions regarding the other teams in this group, Ukraine should probably be given the best chance to advance.

Ukraine had to struggle to qualify for the Euro, but in the qualifiers they played against the finalists from the last Euro. Slovakia and Romania had much easier groups and Romania even finished outside Switzerland. We could potentially be looking at an interesting battle for second place.

Portugal seems very powerful and in this tournament, which should be the last for Cristiano Ronaldo, he should go at least to the knockout stage and fight seriously for the title later. Our UEFA Euro 2024 predictions in this group give Portugal the best chance to win the first place, and Turkey and the Czech Republic should fight for passage.

Turkey qualified well and finished ahead of Croatia, while the Czech Republic eventually managed to qualify for the Euros in the final round. At this tournament, we will also see a debutant who is fighting, but it seems that Georgia will have a very difficult time in this competition to advance to the knockout stage.

UEFA Euro 2024 Predictions about the Winner

If we were to rely on the current UEFA Euro 2024 predictions by the bookmakers, the best chances for the Euro are given to England and France, and the host Germany is not at all behind them. England have never won the Euro so far, so that’s one of the reasons why they are the main favorites, not to mention the fact that they have one of the most talented players today, Jude Bellingham, and a great scorer, Harry Kane.

France also has a strong squad, and this national team, in which Kylian Mbappe will once again be the first star, certainly wants to add the title of European champion after the world title. Germany has several disappointing competitions behind it, and it seems that for the public there, any elimination before the semi-finals will be a big failure with the secret hope that they could win the title at home. Teams such as Portugal, Spain, Italy and Belgium could very well compete for the title.

UEFA Euro 2024 Predictions: Who will be the best goalscorer?

The best scorer at the upcoming Euro should be sought among the aforementioned favorites to win the tournament. The main candidates are Kylian Mbappe and Harry Kane. Mbappe did not shine at the previous Euro and will surely want to redeem himself now. Kane is the best scorer in the history of the English national team, and in the coming years he could achieve a performance that will be hard to beat in the near future.

Both were the top scorers in their respective leagues and Kane had the best season of his career with 43 goals in the season. Germany will have a lot of hope in young forces such as Florian Wirtz and Jamal Musiala. Cristiano Ronaldo is the best scorer in Euro history and in this tournament, despite his late years, we should expect a few of his goals.
