Why is England listed as favourites?
This was a bit of a surprise, we must admit, but the young England squad has been putting in regularly great performances of late. They managed to blitz through qualification for the Euros, and we cannot ignore that they made the semi-final of the World Cup in 2018 too. Some may say that youth is no substitute for experience, and while this is true to some extent, a youthful team also goes hand in hand with fearlessness and courage.
Euro Underdogs
Croatia
How can we not list the finalists of the World Cup in 2018? These guys are floating at around 34.00 odds at most bookmakers, which puts them as clear underdogs for the event. The Croatian side is still full of remarkable players, and this could prove quite handy when this tournament rolls around.
Spain
Spain may not have youth on their side, but with the experience shown in these ranks, it’s just impossible to rule Spain out. With players like Sergio Ramos leading the pack, Spain could prove to be a bit of a dark horse for the tournament.
Portugal
Portugal, amazingly, managed to win the previous Euros held in 2016. They managed to scrape a 1-0 victory in the final against France, despite an injured Ronaldo. Just imagine what they can do with a fully fit Ronaldo in this event, and who knows, maybe they will replicate the success of 2016?

Euro Championships 2021 Tips: Favorites to Win
Coral
With Coral, the favourites are currently France and England. Obviously, France won the last World Cup and the team is full of superstars, which is why they are up there in the odds prices.
Bet365
With bet365, it would seem that England is the favourites as the odds stand at 6.00, and France is narrowly behind with odds of 6.50. In the mix is also Belgium, with odds of 6.50 to lift the trophy as well.
Paddy Power
Paddy Power, like the other two betting brands in this list, has also got England down as the favourites for glory in the Euro Championships 2021. England is listed at 5.50 to finish victorious in next year’s event, which puts them above other teams like Belgium and France.
Odds Comparison
Clearly, bet365 has the best odds on the teams ahead of this year’s Euro Championships. This brand is ahead of both Paddy Power and Coral, and this isn’t just true for the favourites market either. Bet365 is still offering higher than average odds for almost all other teams, which is definitely something to pay attention to.
Most common bets for Euro Championships 2021 predictions
To qualify
The Euro Championships always start out in the group stage, which is why you can find ‘to qualify’ markets in the first place. You might not get great odds for teams that are favourites for the event, but you can certainly unearth some value for a few of the underdog teams.
Top 4 finish
For your chosen team to bring you any money in this one, they must reach at least the semi-finals. Providing that they do, you are all set to enjoy whatever your return would be.
Golden boot
The Euro Championships are often full of immense goals and plenty of opportunities for ‘wonder strikes’, but the ultimate top scorer is always questionable. Some of the key players for this market include Ronaldo, Mbappe, Kane, and others.
Outright winner
Fancy a shot at picking the eventual winner? The outright winner markets are always a solid choice, and you don’t always need to pick the favourites. You can pick your home country, of course, but you can also bet on some of the underdogs too.
Euro Championships 2021 – Special Bets
Spread
Rather than just trying to pick and choose who will win what games, you can simply shoot for the spread markets on individual games. This where you can bet that a favoured team will win by a set amount of goals, but you may bet that the underdog will finish the game within a certain ‘spread’ of goals too.
Player of the tournament
Winning the Golden Boot is one thing, but winning the ‘player of the tournament’ is another. Arguably, it is more prestigious than the Golden Boot award, as it shows the most consistent and indeed the best performances throughout the event.
Most yellow cards
If there are some rather feisty and angry players involved in the Championships, which there always is, you can look into this speciality market. There will constantly be some hot-heads on the pitch in such a large tournament, and this can be quite an exciting market.
To score a penalty
This is usually an in-play market, as the pre-match markets will often only give you a chance to bet on whether the game will go to penalties or not. However, when it comes down to it, you may then be able to bet on who will hold their nerve and score in a penalty shootout.
Top 3 types of bets to choose
Winning margin
When a top team goes up against a lesser team, you may want to look into the winning margin markets. This is where you can try and predict the exact winning margin, which can be tough, but there can be huge rewards for doing this successfully.
Moneyline
Also referred to as a 1×2 market, this is where you can bet on a draw, a home win, or an away win. They are always presented as 1 – x – 2 in the sportsbook, hence the name of this bet. When a team goes up against a relative underdog, the odds may not be that favourable, but find teams that are evenly matched and you could find plenty of value.
Score anytime
Specifically for individual games, you may want to bet on who will actually score in the game. You may choose to bet on a striker to score, an attacking midfielder, or if you want to play things a bit looser, you could go for a defender to score.
