We can’t wait for EURO 2020 to start. Why? Well, because it features the best national teams in Europe, with all the top players and head coaches. Plus, this is one unique tournament because of its format and the fact that it has several favorites for winning the title, which wasn’t a case in the recent past.
Just look at the teams competing for the title. You can’t find some notable differences between them, and when thinking a bit deeper about it, several sides could win the trophy, and nobody would say it is a surprise.
When studying at EURO 2020 betting odds, things are becoming more clear. The first in line are France, the current World champions, and Belgium, No.1 in the FIFA rankings, both at 11/2. After them comes England 6/1, Germany 7/1, Portugal, the reigning continental champions, 8/1, and Spain 10/1, the same as Italy.
This is clear proof that we have several teams who are very close with quality and that the margin for error will be small. One reckless tackle, one bad pass, or judgment could determine the champion. Also, luck will play a big factor, as teams need to keep their players healthy and energized and let’s be honest, that can’t happen without having a little fortune.
It is why all the head coaches and their staff have to be at the highest possible level when setting up game plans. This is the time when their analysis and tactics need to be brilliant, which is another reason why we feel such anxiety over this tournament. Our readers could learn a lot here, which would be great.
The race for the top goalscorer, or the Golden Boot, will be one other exciting competition at EURO 2020. There are plenty of candidates for taking these honors, and we are about to present them as well.
Belgium and Inter Milan’s striker, Romelu Lukaku, leads the way in this category, with the odds at 7/1 to end as the top goalscorer. After him comes England’s captain and one of the hottest targets on the market this summer, Harry Kane, with almost the exact odds, 36/5. French wunderkind, Kylian Mbappe is 9/1, and Cristiano Ronaldo sits at 12/1. Another French star, Karim Benzema, is 16/1, Dutch striker Memphis Depay 17/1, and Ciro Immobile, 18/1.
As you see, all these guys are elite, and they can score a huge amount of goals, but they will need some help from teammates. Regardless of their individual qualities, tactics and the environment have what appears to be a massive impact on their scoring summary in the end.
Another pretty interesting topic is who wins the best players of the tournament award. There are plenty of superstars in this tournament, and it is really needless to say anything about them. As told before, they all have incredible quality, and small details will decide when it comes to who wins the award.
Two top favorites are Mbappe and De Buyne with 9/1. Many are a bit skeptical about the Belgian’s chances here because of his injury in the UEFA Champions League finals. Some believe he won’t be 100% ready. Kane comes after 10/1, and behind him Cristiano Ronaldo, 14/1. The French forward, Antoine Griezmann, Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes, and Romelu Lukaku share the same odds, 20/1.
Bear in mind that all this doesn’t mean anything, and that one player might explode and take all the accolades. Just remember how Luka Modric stunned everyone in Russia.
After reading all this, it is easy to understand why football fans can’t stay calm and why they get chills just by mentioning EURO 2020 kick-off. The topics we covered today are just a tinny bit of what expect us, so clear your entire schedule during June and July and prepare for tough and exciting football.
You won’t regret it.
