We finally got all the participants of UEFA Euro 2024 and it is also known who are the biggest favorites at the upcoming Euro. Bookmakers have published the odds based on which the biggest favorites at the tournament in Germany have been determined. First on the list of favorites are the English and the French. Behind them on the list of favorites are the most trophy-winning teams in Euro history, namely Germany and Spain, who have been European champions three times so far.
The fifth place on the list of favorites is occupied by Portugal, while the defending champions Italy are currently in sixth place. The last place on this list is occupied by Albania. The coefficient for the first two favorites is 4.5. The Germans and the Spaniards are third and fourth on the licit favorites, and the odds for the triumph of these two national teams are 7 and 8.
The coefficient for the triumph of Portugal is 9, while you could make good money by betting on Italy, because the odds for their triumph are 15. It would bring you real wealth. the triumph of Albania, which is far from the favorite at this Euro and can be considered an absolute outsider because the coefficient for their triumph is 201.
England and France are the biggest favorites
As we mentioned, according to bookmakers, England and France are the biggest favorites at the upcoming Euro. These national teams were fully justified in receiving this status because England was defeated in the finals at the last Euro and have never been European champions until now, while France has two consecutive World Cup finals with one title. At the last Euro, England gave up a great chance to win the first title, but apparently the bookmakers believe that the English could pass the remedial exam in Germany.
This national team has experienced a great rise under the baton of Gary Southgate in the past six years, and the FA obviously believes that Southgate is the man who can bring football home. It is not at all strange that England is in the first place when it comes to the favorites for the upcoming Euro, considering that they have one of the best goalscorers today, Harry Kane and the most talented footballer today, Jude Bellingham.
The second place on the list of favorites for the upcoming Euro is occupied by France, which is not at all trotting behind the English. Everyone is waiting for the end of the saga surrounding Kylian Mbappe and his possible transfer to Real Madrid during the summer. He will be the leader of this national team, as in previous major competitions, and we will see how much the whole story surrounding his transfer will affect his games.
A few days ago against Germany, he played probably the weakest game since he played for the national team. There are still many talented players who will be led by Didier Deschamps from the bench at this Euro as well. France disappointed at the last Euro because it was already eliminated by Switzerland at the start of the knockout phase.
In the third place of favorites at the upcoming Euro is the host Germany, which is slowly catching up with Julian Nagelsmann and is expected to give the best games at the Euro. It is a turbulent period behind this national team, which has not shone for a long time, and the games it provides are far from the level seen in 2014, when Germany became the world champion.
The trust to elevate the fallen giant was given to the second youngest coach in the history of the national team, who has high expectations because any result lower than the semi-finals will be considered a big failure. Germany is chasing a record fourth European Championship title at home. Like Germany, Spain has three titles and is in fourth place on the list of Euro favorites.
Spain is the only national team that managed to defend the title, and after 2012 the expected decline followed, and this national team changed its coach after the World Cup, and now they are led from the bench by Luis de la Fuente, who has already won the UEFA Nations League trophy. At the last Euro, Spain was eliminated by the later winner of the title, Italy in the semi-finals, and at this Euro a good result is expected in order to improve the bad impression from the previous World Cup.

Fifth on the list of favorites is Portugal, the winner of the title from 2016, who will once again be led by Cristiano Ronaldo, who will appear at the Euros for a record sixth and possibly the last time. Portugal also changed their coach after the World Cup with the arrival of Roberto Martinez from Belgium who had a brutal start with the new national team as Portugal had a goal difference of 36-2 despite not having too strong of a rival.
Behind Portugal on the list of favorites is Italy, which is defending the title, and how realistic it is to happen is a big question, although this national team was not given too many chances for the title three years ago, so it happened in the end. Italy is followed by neighbors Belgium and the Netherlands, and among the top 10 favorites at the upcoming Euro are semi-finalists from the previous Euro, Denmark and the third national team in the world, Croatia.
