The odds of winning the European Championship were announced, and Portugal was fifth, with the two teams tied for first place
2023 has not been a lively year for the majority of football lovers, as there are no major tournaments taking place, making club competitions the only pastime. Fortunately, 2024 is just around the corner, with the European Cup, Copa America, Africa Cup of Nations and Asian Cup coming one after another, setting off one wave of football craze after another. In the early morning of December 3, Beijing time, the draw for the Euro 2024 group was announced, and the odds for the winner of the European Cup were also updated, as follows
The tenth "Plaid Army" Croatia, with a probability of 41.00 to win the championship, the runner-up in the 18-year World Cup and the third place in the 22-year World Cup, Croatia's achievements in recent years are not outstanding, although the European Cup fell into the group of death, but we still have reason to believe that the 39-year-old Modric will lead the players to continue to create miracles. The ninth "fairy tale army" Denmark, the odds of winning the championship are 34.00, the last European Championship, the Danish team with a good squad reached the semi-finals, and now the young players in the team are becoming more and more mature, and they will still be the opponents that the traditional giants are unwilling to face
In eighth and seventh place are Italy and the Netherlands, both at odds of 17.00. Italy have missed out on two consecutive World Cups, but they did top the trophy at the last European Championship and as the defending champions, they will have to be in the best form from the group stage alongside Spain and Croatia. The Dutch team has a reasonable age structure and good tactical play, and although it is not yet at the top of its ranks, it is also a strong contender for the top four
The sixth place is the "European Red Devils" Belgium, the odds to win the championship are 15.00, unfortunately, the Belgian team has not been able to seize the opportunity of the golden generation to win the championship in the past few years, last year's World Cup group exit proves that this Belgium has gone downhill, perhaps next year's European Championship, is the last chance for a group of Belgian stars led by De Bruyne. The fifth "army of five shields" Portugal, with odds of 9.00 to win the championship, will be known as "Ragnarok" by the outside world every tournament, and next year will not be an exception, the 39-year-old Ronaldo will lead the star-studded Portugal to the top of Europe again in his European Cup curtain call
The fourth "Matador Army" Spain, with odds of 8.00 to win the championship, has won three consecutive major championships has become a thing of the past, but now Spain has ushered in the rise of a large number of young stars, although the current team is not stable enough, but they already have the capital and strength to compete with any team. The third "Germanic chariot" Germany, the odds of winning the championship are 7.00, as the most outstanding team in the history of the European Cup, the performance of the German team in recent years can be described as plummeting, and there are many problems in all aspects of the team, but after all, as the host team, Germany is still favored by the outside world, and fans also hope that the team that has won the European Cup three times can get rid of the situation as soon as possible and return to the top
The top two teams are the Gallic Roosters of France and the Three Lions England, both priced at 4.50. To say that the best national team in European football and even world football today, then England and France are definitely the undisputed champions, whether it is the number of stars, squad strength or tactical play, these two teams represent the highest level of today's football, from the perspective of grouping, the two teams are almost no pressure to qualify, I believe the outside world is looking forward to these two giants can meet in the finals, for the world to dedicate a gluttonous feast of football
