2024 Euro Cup prediction: France, England co-favorites to win

Basketball and hockey season are coming to a close, but soccer is coming to save us all.

We look to the pitch this summer where we have tons of interesting soccer starting June 14 and coming to an end just before August.

By the time the 2024 Euro Cup comes to a close, we’ll be approaching preseason football, and away we go.

France and England are the co-favorites to win the Euro, both at +350 on DraftKings; the two squads are among the top in the world, led by Kylian Mbappé and Harry Kane.

There is no clear favorite here, as Germany comes in as the third favorite at +550 while Portugal (+700) and Spain (+800) round out the top five.

Below we break down who will be holding up the coveted Henri Delaunay Trophy.

2024 Euro Cup prediction

The first step of wagering on the Euro Cup is analyzing group stages, and Germany is the biggest favorite to come out and win Group A, coming in at -270 to win it.

Germany is among the best teams in the world, playing a ball-dominant, possession-heavy style of play.

That spells trouble for some of the world’s best teams that may be more talented in terms of their attacking, Germany in theory will be outmatched against Mbappé and Kane among others in the tournament.

However it should be able to play keep away at a high clip against some of those stars.

Of course, there’s always room for some tomfoolery during group stages, with France, Belgium and Spain all far from locks to win their group with tougher matchups than the English and Germans.

Sportradar tells The Post that its advanced AI algorithm simulated the Euro Cup 10,000 times, with Germany winning the third-most times at 1,518 wins.

England wins 2,400 times and France 1,808.

Broken down into percentages, using Sportradar projections exclusively sent to The Post, the Germans’ odds of winning should be +558.8, so the odds are right on in terms of accuracy.

The English are actually showing value, as they win the tournament at +316.7, about a two percent edge compared to the +350 odds you see throughout the betting market.

Those aren’t projections aren’t perfect and don’t need to be bet on exclusively for betting purposes but are worth noting.

Germany and England are the two bets to target here as they are given two of the best matchups in the Group Stage.
