Top 10 odds to win EURO 2020 in 2021:
| Team | Betting Odds |
| England | +500 |
| France | +550 |
| Belgium | +550 |
| Germany | +750 |
| Spain | +800 |
| Portugal | +800 |
| Netherlands | +1100 |
| Italy | +1100 |
| Denmark | +2800 |
| Croatia | +3300 |
As you can see from the table “Odds to win EURO 2020 in 2021“, you are going to get good betting value whichever team you take. But also, the odds dramatically fall off after the top eight: from 11-1 with Italy to 28-1 with Denmark.
The team that wins this month-long battle will most certainly come from the top eight odds. France has made the last two major tournament finals and won the World Cup, England was a World Cup semifinalist, as was Belgium.
You are going to be able to see how the group stages play out, and how the knockout bracket sets up for teams, without losing too much value on futures: there are too many good teams in the tournament.
My pick is France, as the reigning World Cup champion, but I could make a case for England, Belgium, Italy, and Portugal. This is really competitive.
So, Which Team Is Favored To Win Euro 2020?
This could be one of the most competitive tournaments of all time. Six European teams made the 2018 World Cup quarterfinals, and four made the semifinals.

Best Prop Bets for Euro 2020/2021
Of course, each game (and there are a lot of them, with 51 matches set to be played over the month of the tournament) will have prop bets, such as first, last, and anytime goal scorer. But you can also bet props before the tournament begins, such as the Golden Boot winner (top scorer), Player of the Tournament, and others.
When looking to bet top scorer props, it does not always have to be from a team that wins the cup: it could be from a strong team that might have a weak group, where a player piles up the goals in one or two fixtures.
You can also bet on teams to advance out of the group, to reach the final, or to win the cup. Remember, the odds should not change too much from now until the bracket for the knockout stages games are set, so you can wait to see which team might have an easier path to a title.
Any site in the country should have the odds on EURO 2020. You might be able to shop around to get better odds for teams you might like to back for each game, or in the futures market.
In the light of ongoing developments in the spread of Covid-19, UEFA has invited various stakeholders to discuss European football’s response to the outbreak.
— UEFA (@UEFA) March 12, 2020
Discussions will include all domestic and European competitions, including UEFA EURO 2020.
Full statement: 👇
UEFA executive committee member, Michele Uva, said: “We are at the waiting stage. We are
monitoring country by country, and football must follow the orders of the individual countries.
“The sporting path will only be closed if the situation gets worse.”

Best odds, best long shot plays to win Euro 2020 Golden Boot prop betting market
One of the better prop play markets in any international soccer tournament is the Golden Boot winner.
That is certainly the case at the UEFA European Championship (Euro 2020) this 2021 summer.
The top goal scorer at a tournament does not always come from a team that wins the cup, or even a team that makes the semifinals. Sometimes, a player could rack up a hat trick in the group stage, and pick off a goal or two in other matches to win it.
However, the last three winners have come from teams that played in the final. In 2016, France’s Antoine Griezmann scored six goals for the runners-up. In 2012, Fernando Torres won the Golden Boot with three goals and one assist in 189 minutes for champions Spain. In 2008, David Villa scored four goals for champions Spain.
Other than the nine goals Michel Platini scored at Euro 1984 for champions France, and Griezmann in 2016, three, four, or five goals have been enough to win the Golden Boot.
There are a lot of players in this tournament that can do that. With the introduction of some lower ranked teams into the tournament this year, you have to think some of the poachers in this cup might be able to bag a few goals in the group stage games.
Two that come to mind immediately are Harry Kane of England and Romelu Lukaku of Belgium, and the odds show that they are the current top two favorites with the sports books right now. One five-time Ballon d’Or winner, and one future Ballon d’Or winner (maybe very soon) are also in the top odds: Cristiano Ronaldo of Portugal, and Kylian Mbappe of France, both at +900 with Lukaku. Kane is the current favorite by himself at +600.
So who should you take? Here is a look at the top 10 odds, with some best bets and underdog plays.
Top 10 odds to win Euro 2020 Golden Boot
- Harry Kane, England +600
- Romelu Lukaku, Belgium +900
- Kylian Mbappe, France +900
- Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal +900
- Memphis Depay, Netherlands +1500
- Timo Werner, Germany +1700
- Serge Gnabry, Germany +1900
- Antoine Griezmann, France +1900
- Alvaro Morata, Spain +1900
- Olivier Giroud, France +3000
EURO 2020/21 Best Bets:
The best player in the world right now is Kylian Mbappe, and he was massive at the 2018 World Cup for the champions. At odds of +900, I would have to jump all over that.
Romelu Lukaku at +900 is also a great play. Both of those players come from teams that could be playing four extra matches.
Best Underdog Plays:
Bruno Fernandes at +4000 might be a decent play, if he is taking the penalties for Portugal. If Cristiano Ronaldo is taking them, though, it is off the board.
Ciro Immobile from Italy at +3000 is intriguing. Someone has to score the goals for the Italians, and they could be around deep into the tournament.
