The main qualification for Euro 2020 has finished and all the main contenders have progressed through to the knockout stages. 2018 World Cup winners France head into the competition as the favourites and the team to beat, with the likes of England and Belgium amongst other sides at the top of the betting.
Group A: Turkey, Italy, Wales, Switzerland
Heading up Group A is Italy, who were faultless in qualification, winning every game. They will be strong favourites to progress though as Group winners next year and are also many people’s idea of potential winners. The starburst free spins no deposit bonus has been popular for punters looking to boost their balances and support Italy, who are now available at a general 9/1. Switzerland will also be expected to progress through this group and into the knockout stages of the competition. Both Turkey and Wales appear to have a huge task on their hand in Group A.
Group B: Denmark, Finland, Belgium, Russia
Belgium are the favourites in Group B and also one of the leading contenders in the outright markets. They were also faultless in qualification, taking maximum points and scoring 40 goals and conceding just three. They will be very strong favourites to top the group, with the runner up spot looking very open. Denmark just missed out on the top spot in qualification and are always a tough team to beat, so are the most likely side to progress through from a competitive looking Group B.
Group C: Netherlands, Ukraine, Austria, Play-off winner D (A)*
Netherlands finished second in their qualification behind Germany but will now be favourites to top Group C in the competition next year. They are also amongst the favourites in the outright markets. Ukraine went through qualification unbeaten, so will also be expected to progress through the group.
Group D: England, Croatia, Play-off winner C, Czech Republic
England are now favourites for the finals next year in some places, as they continue to improve in recent times. This includes reaching the semi-finals at the World Cup in 2018 and they will now be strong favourites to progress through as the winners of Group D next year. Croatia will be expected to join them in progressing through as they finished second at the World Cup in Russia when beaten by France in the final.
Group E: Spain, Sweden, Poland, Play-off winner B
Spain were also impressive in qualification, going unbeaten and scoring 31 goals and conceding just five. They will be the overwhelming favourites to progress through as Group E winners. Poland also finished top of their Group in qualification, losing just once and conceding only five goals in 10 games. They will be expected to follow Spain through this competitive looking group.
Group F: Play-off winner A (D)*, Portugal, France, Germany
The most competitive Group of the finals, now being called the ‘group of death’. This includes the defending champions Portugal facing off against current World champions France and also Germany. France will be the favourites to progress through as winners and are the outright favourites for the entire competition. Germany will also be marginal favourites to progress through this very tough looking Group F.
