Euro 2024 Predictions
With the qualification phase completed, teams now know the groups they fall into and their schedules. According to our Euro Predictions, teams like Germany, Spain, England, Italy, France, Belgium and Portugal are the favourites to win the tournament.
Aside from the fact that they are some of the best teams in the world, they possess players who can influence the outcome of a game.
For instance, France’s Kylian Mbappe, Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo, the Netherlands’ Cody Gakpo, and Poland’s Robert Lewandowski are standout players in their nations with incredible goal-scoring talent. These players are the potential top scorers in this competition.
Once these players are in good shape, they can carry their teams on their shoulders. It will be interesting to see how things pan out when the tournament begins in June.
🔹 Prediction Group A
Group A comprises Germany, Scotland, Hungary, and Switzerland. With the German squad and Julian Nagelsmann at the helm, the three-time Champions are the favourites in this group.
Switzerland can come in second place, as they also possess a decent squad. Hence, Hungary and Scotland will have to perform beyond expectations to secure a place in the next round.
🔹 Prediction Group B
Albania will likely struggle for points in Group B. Spain, Italy, and Croatia are stronger teams in this group.
Spain possess an incredible crop of talents, including Nico Williams, Alvaro Morata, Rodrigo, and Lamine Yamal, who are set to help La Roja win its fourth title.
While Spain are favourites to win this group, they have to be wary of threats from Croatia and Italy. The Italian team are defending champions and a big name in world football. Croatia have performed excellently in recent big tournaments and will also be in contention for the next round.
🔹 Prediction Group C
Group C has England, Slovenia, Denmark, and Serbia fighting for a place in the next round of the UEFA Euro 2024. Bar any upset, England should comfortably top this group. Finishing the group with 9 points will be a great start for one of the tournament’s favourites.
Denmark and Serbia might have to fight for a second-place finish. However, we see the Kasper Hjulmand-led side edging Serbia and advancing alongside Gareth Southgate and his boys.
🔹 Prediction Group D
Group D is arguably the toughest in this tournament. It has Poland, Netherlands, Austria and France competing for a place in the round of 16.
All of these teams are capable of making it into the next round. However, the Didier Deschamps-led France squad are our favourite.
France have won the tournament twice, lifted the World Cup title twice, and boast players like Kylian Mbappe, Antoine Griezmann, and Jules Kounde. They indeed have an attractive CV. However, it would be challenging for Les Bleus because the Netherlands, Poland and even Austria can trouble them.
🔹 Prediction Group E
In Group E, Belgium is the favourite team. They will play Slovakia, Romania and Ukraine as they seek to finish top of the group.
In the last edition, Belgium had Denmark, Finland and Russia and still finished first, winning all the games. It wouldn’t be surprising if they finished this group with a maximum of 9 points.
Choosing which team will finish in second place can be difficult as all the nations have a chance. However, Ukraine might be the team to finish behind the Belgium national team.
🔹 Prediction Group F
The final group of the 2024 Euro comprises Turkey, Georgia, Portugal, and the Czech Republic. 2016 Champions Portugal are the favourites from this group as they have the best squad.
Georgia are first-timers in the tournament and may find it challenging to make it out of the group. However, Turkey and the Czech Republic will most likely finish behind Portugal.
