UEFA Euro 2024 Betting Guide: Everything you need to know about Germany

The UEFA European Championship trophy which will be awarded to the Euro 2024 champions
England are favourites to lift the Euro 2024 trophy

Betfair are offering customers a chance to earn a free bet each time the side they back to win Euro 2024 (£10 stake) scores a goal during the group stages. Do you opt for a side who is likely to go deep, like France, or, is your faith in a Portugal side who banged in 36 goals in 10 qualifying matches?

Romelu Lukaku is toward the top of the Golden Boot market after finishing the qualifying campaign as the top scorer with 14 goals - that was 64% of Belgium's 22 goals, so could he and the Red Devils be the side to back with the offer in mind?

Perhaps it is an outsider you fancy to surprise us all - like the much fancied Austria, Hungary or Ukraine, and a few goals in their opening three games could well pay you back for your faith in them before the tournament, and hope their big price takes you all the way!

Make sure you opt-in on the Betfair Sportsbook before the opening game and place a £10 bet (or £5 EW) in the Winner market to qualify!


Who has qualified for Euro 2024?

Three teams sealed their spots via March's play-offs, while the top two in the each of the 10 qualifying groups had already booked their ticket to Germany. The host nation qualified automatically.

The qualified teams, in alphabetical order, are:

Albania, Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Czechia, Denmark, England, France, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Scotland, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine

Euro 2024 draw

The draw for this summer's finals took place in Hamburg in December with the teams drawn into six groups of four. The draw produced the following groups:

Group A - Germany, Scotland, Hungary, Switzerland

Group B - Spain, Croatia, Italy, Albania

Group C - Slovenia, Denmark, Serbia, England

Group D - Netherlands, Austria, France, Poland

Group E - Belgium, Slovakia, Romania, Ukraine

Group F - Turkey, Portugal, Czechia, Georgia

As at both Euro 2016 and Euro 2020, the top two in each group will qualify for the knockout stage, along with the four third-placed teams with the best record.

If sides finish level on points, the head-to-head record between the teams tied is used to determine positions (points won in those games, then goal difference and goals scored, if necessary).

Euro 2024 schedule

The 2024 European Championship takes place from 14 June to 14 July in Germany.

The full fixture list can be found below.

When is the Euro 2024 final?

The 2024 European Championship final will be held on Sunday 14 July and will kick-off at 20:00 BST in Berlin's Olympiastadion.

1280 Olympiastadion Berlin.jpg

What are the kick-off times for Euro 2024?

The other kick-off times are standardised.

Group-stage matches start at 14:00, 17:00 and 20:00 BST. Local time is one hour ahead.

Most days in the group phase feature three games, one at each of the kick-off times.

The most matches on any one day is four, which will occur on 25 and 26 June, although on these occasions not all the matches will be consecutive.

In the knockout stage, last-16 and quarter-final games will kick off at 17:00 and 20:00 BST. The semis and final are all set for 20:00 BST.

Who will England play if they win their group?

OK, time to plot England's path to Euro 2024 glory!

They are odds-on with the Betfair Sportsbook to top their group and if that happens they would face one of the third-placed teams in the last 16.

That team would come from Group D, E or F. There are clearly a wide rage of possibilities, although the current group odds suggest if would be either Austria, Romania or Czechia.

Were the seedings to play out, the Three Lions would then meet the runner-up of either Group A or Group B in the quarter-finals - the odds have these teams as Switzerland and Italy - before facing either France or Belgium in the last four.

If the six seeds do indeed top their groups, the leading nations England couldn't meet until the final would include Germany, Spain and Portugal.

Who will England play if they finish runners-up in their group?

The bookies don't expect this scenario but it's been the one which has unfolded at two of the last four European Championships, including Euro 2016 which was played in the same format as this tournament.

On that occasion, England finished second behind Wales and went on to lose to Iceland in the last 16.

If England finish second in Group C, they would play the Group A winners in the last 16 - that is likely to be hosts Germany, according to the markets.

The winner of the that contest is currently expected to face Spain in the quarter-finals with Portugal potentially lying in wait in the last four.

In short, this looks a much harder route to the final for Gareth Southgate and co.

Who could England play if they finish third in their group?

This isn't the doomsday scenario - that would be finishing bottom - but third place certainly isn't what people are expecting from England in Group C.

Still, it is a possibility.

First, it should be pointed out that not all the third-placed teams go through - only the best four of the six.

History shows finishing third with four points has always been good enough to progress, while you can lose two matches and still make it through - as Northern Ireland did in 2016.

The worst record to progress as a third-placed team has been Ukraine (3pts and a -1 goal difference) at Euro 2020.

The complicated format means we can't plot a route for England very easily - where they would fit into the draw would depend on which other teams qualified in third place.

What we can say is that if they do progress as a third-placed team, they would face a group winner in the last 16.

That team would be either the winner of Group E or Group F. The odds make Belgium and Portugal odds-on to finish top of those groups.

What are the latest Euro 2024 odds?

Let's look at those Euro 2024 betting markets in greater detail - and it's good news for England fans!

The outright market is led by the Three Lions, who are 3/14.00 tournament favourites with the Betfair Sportsbook, despite winning just one of their four warm-up friendlies, losing to both Iceland and Brazil.

While you need to consider that the British-based bookmakers may well keep them shorter than they 'should be' due to the potential for large liabilities from patriotic punters, there's little doubt England have an attack which virtually every nation in Europe would be envious of. The defensive side of things could be their undoing though - as they showed against Belgium in March.

World champions France, who famously beat England at the quarter-final stage of Qatar 2022, are next in the market. They shortened slightly in March despite a 2-0 friendly defeat to Germany and are now 4/15.00.

The hosts beat both France and the Netherlands in March and are now 9/25.50, ahead of Portugal (7/18.00) and Spain (15/28.50).

Holders Italy, Belgium and the Netherlands are all offered at 18/119.00.

1280 Italy Euro 2020 winners trophy.jpg

Perhaps some value lies with Croatia, semi-finalists in Qatar and runners-up at the 2018 World Cup. They are 40/141.00 - alongside Denmark - having been drawn in the same group as Spain and Italy.

Scotland, beaten by the Netherlands and Northern Ireland in March, can be backed at 150/1151.00.

In the group betting, each pool has an odds-on favourite.

Germany are the shortest price (3/101.30) with Spain the longest - they are 5/61.84 to win a group including defending champs Italy and Croatia.

England are at 1/31.33 to top their group and are just 1/801.01 to qualify for the knockout stage - no team is shorter. Scotland are even money to reach the last 16.

The Golden Boot market has France's Kylian Mbappe chalked up as the 9/25.50 favourite, ahead of England's Harry Kane at 5/16.00. Cristiano Ronaldo, of Portugal, comes next at 12/113.00.

Mbappe also heads up the UEFA Player of the Tournament betting.

He's the 7/18.00 jolly ahead of three England stars - Jude Bellingham (9/110.00), Harry Kane (11/112.00) and Phil Foden (12/113.00). Germany's Toni Kroos, who will retire after the tournament, follows at 16/117.00.

  • Odds correct as of June 10.

How can I watch Euro 2024 on TV?

In the UK, the BBC and ITV jointly hold the live TV rights to the tournament.

1280 football TV camera World Cup 2018.jpg

Coverage of the group-stage games has already been decided and is shown in the fixture list above.

Both channels will have live coverage of the final.

Can I still buy tickets for Euro 2024?

Maybe but unlikely.

Most public tickets were bought during an online ballot last year, while a 'last-minute' sales phase is now sold out.

England's allocation has already been distributed to members of the England Supporters Travel Club.

However, UEFA do plan on selling tickets for the knockout stage from June 23 - ie, once the fixtures are known.

When will the Euro 2024 squads be announced?

They already have been - June 7 was the deadline for managers to name their squads.

A recent rule change meant there were allowed to select 26 players, an increase of three from the original decision.

Are Euro 2024 warm-up friendlies planned?

Yes. England and Scotland have already completed their warm-up matches but other nations will continue their tournament preparation this week.

England beat Bosnia-Herzegovina 3-0 at St James' Park in Newcastle on June 3 but were upset by Iceland, losing 1-0 at Wembley, four days later.

On the same dates, Scotland won 2-0 in Gibraltar and drew 2-2 at home to Finland.

Who will start for England's opening game v Serbia?

Following England's defeat to Iceland, one spot in Gareth Southgate's starting XI to face Serbia in their tournament opener on June 16 appears to still be up for grabs.

Twelve players are now odds-on in Betfair's 'to start v Serbia' market, with Trent Alexander-Arnold's recent performances seeing his odds cut into 1/21.50, putting him just ahead of Conor Gallagher, who is an 8/131.61 chance.

Jordan Pickford, Declan Rice, Jude Bellingham, Phil Foden and the fit-again Harry Kane are considered nailed-on starters at 1/161.06 or shorter. Nine players are at 1/71.14 or shorter, including Marc Guehi, whose odds tumbled into 1/71.14 after Harry Maguire was cut from the squad due to injury.

England's problem position appears to be left-back, although Luke Shaw has made the final squad despite having played no football since February. Reports suggest he could be fit for the second group game.

In the meantime, Newcastle's Kieran Trippier looks set to be asked to play there - he's a 1/31.33 chance to start the Serbia match. Shaw is out at 10/111.00.

This is the team the odds predict will start England's tournament opener:

Pickford, Walker, Guehi, Stones, Trippier, Rice, Alexander-Arnold, Saka, Bellingham, Foden, Kane

Betfair's market allows you to predict the full starting XI and it's just over 16/54.20 that this is the side which takes to the field in Gelsenkirchen.

Euro 2024 venues

The tournament is being staged in 10 cities across Germany.

The final will be held in Berlin's Olympiastadion, the largest of the venues with a capacity of 71,000.

The semi-finals will be staged in Munich (pictured) and Dortmund, with both grounds able to house more than 60,000 fans.

The other venues all hold at least 40,000 fans. They are in Leipzig, Hamburg, Gelsenkirchen, Dusseldorf, Cologne, Frankfurt and Stuttgart.

Which teams won't be at Euro 2024?

Italy missed out on the 2022 World Cup but there are no such high-profile absentees when it comes to Euro 2024.

In terms of the FIFA rankings, the highest-ranked team who won't be in Germany are Sweden.

Currently 27th in the standings, the Swedes finished only third in their qualifying group, behind Belgium and Austria.

Of the Home Nations, both Wales and Northern Ireland have failed to qualify.

Which players won't be at Euro 2024?

As was the case at the 2022 World Cup, arguably Europe's deadliest striker won't be at Euro 2024.

Erling Haaland's Norway team failed to qualify, leaving the Manchester City star kicking his heels this summer, along with Arsenal's Martin Odegaard (pictured).

Tottenham star Dejan Kulusevski is another notable absentee - he plays for non-qualifiers Sweden.

Other have injuries, like Scotland's Lewis Ferguson, who has starred in Serie A with Bologna this season, and England defensive regular Harry Maguire.

Real Madrid's David Alaba, a key man for Austria, also suffered a serious knee injury earlier in the season.

Spain midfielder Gavi, Dutch defender Sven Botman, France's Lucas Hernandez and Italy forward Domenico Berardi are among the others who will be absent from the tournament due to injury.

It looked like a knee injury would also rule out Belgium stopper Thibaut Courtois, although he has recently returned to action with Real Madrid.

However, a row with his international boss means he won't be in Germany this summer.
