Euro 2020 Winner Markets

It’s incredibly difficult to hand-pick a nation other than France to win the tournament because every team has its gaps. Meanwhile, the French squad just seems to get better and better as you go through the team. If you’re looking to bet on France, you can find their odds at 15/4. However, we’re going to bet on a nation that we think are major underdogs at their price tag. That nation is Italy, who come into the tournament on a 23-game unbeaten run. They haven’t conceded in their last seven games and look to be the in-form nation coming into the tournament. They can be found at 17/2 to win the competition and shorter odds to reach the final or the semi-final.

Italy to win Euro 2020 - 17/2

Euro 2020 Top Goalscorer Markets

The Top Goalscorer market is one that won many England fans their bets at the World Cup when Harry Kane went on to be the tournament’s top scorer. If you fancy him to repeat this feat at Euro 2020, his odds are 13/2. However, unfortunately for England, Kane isn’t who we think will finish as the top goalscorer. Throughout the dozens of predictors we have subjected ourselves to, two teams are always in our top five scorers: Belgium and Italy. Italy have Ciro Immobile as their likely starter but it is also likely that he may be rested against Bulgaria in their second game for Andrea Belotti or Moise Kean, both of whom have impressed this season. Meanwhile, Belgium also have Romelu Lukaku, Michy Batshuayi and Christian Benteke, which is undoubtedly a weaker back-up than that of Italy. If you’re looking for the big money win, we’d suggest Immobile at 17/1. However, we’re tempted by:

Lukaku: Top Goalscorer - 7/1

Euro 2020 Group Winners:

On paper, predicting the group winners is the easiest thing in the world. However, in reality, it is quite difficult to predict correctly. At Euro 2016, only two of the group favourites successfully won their group and at the 2018 World Cup, four out of eight favourites won, with one being eliminated from the competition entirely. That being said, if you can successfully predict all six, you could land impressive payouts. For example, we’ve placed our predictions below and this is the sixfold that we received.

Group A - Italy (13/25)

Group B - Denmark (5/2)

Group C - Netherlands (4/9)

Group D - Croatia (17/5)

Group E - Spain (33/100)

Group F - France (7/5)

Sixfold - 15/1

Euro 2020 Game Previews

We are hitting an extremely crucial time in the Euro 2020 Qualifying campaign. with some familiar foes and historical rivals doing battle on the pitch once more, as they attempt to live up to their pre-season potential, or improve upon their current predicament. Here at LeoVegas, with no Premier League betting tips this week instead we take a look at some of the online betting odds for the massive international football fixtures.

England v Montenegro - 7:45pm, 14th November

The first game in our Football Betting tips list for Euro 2020 Qualifying sees us head to Wembley, as a storm cloud has suddenly overcome the England camp. It has been decided that Raheem Sterling will play no part in this contest due to an altercation with Joe Gomez at the training centre. It has left Gomez with a scratch by his right eye and Sterling has since apologised for the incident. What it means though, is that on the pitch England will be without arguably their best player on current form.

Thankfully though, England should have more than enough to see off a side that they beat by five goals to one away from home in March of this year. Sterling scored one of those goals, but it was Ross Barkley that claimed a double on the night. Following on from October’s 6-0 win in Bulgaria, England will fancy their chances of grabbing yet another big win here.

OVER 4.5 GOALS - ODDS: 19/10

Cyprus v Scotland - 2:00pm, 16th November

Being completely honest, Scotland have been poor yet again in this Euro 2020 Qualifying campaign. They have fallen well below what is required to finish in Group I’s automatic qualification places, sitting 4th in the group before this round of matches. The bright spot is that the Scots are guaranteed a play-off place due to winning their UEFA Nations League group.

They may be buoyed by the fact that their opponents on this occasion, Cyprus, have never beaten them in an international football match. Earlier in the campaign, Scotland managed to get the better of the late drama as Oliver Burke grabbed a winner soon after Cyprus believed that they had rescued a point. A big problem for the Scots though is that Andy Robertson, Ryan Fraser and Scott McTominay are all missing through injury, which does not bode well.

CYPRUS TO WIN - ODDS: 21/10

Azerbaijan v Wales - 5:00pm, 16th November

Despite a pretty poor qualifying campaign, Wales can actually still qualify for Euro 2020 automatically. Ryan Giggs’ side would need to win both of their remaining games as well as hope results elsewhere went their way, but it is a possibility. This away match against Azerbaijan comes first, followed by a home game against Hungary in Cardiff on Tuesday. The hope will be that Slovakia fail to win away in Croatia. The play-offs would still remain an option for the Welsh though if they do not get through automatically.

Wales do go into their first game as favourites and have a very good record against Azerbaijan (having never lost), but they will be wary that the reverse fixture was far from comfortable. It took a late Gareth Bale winner to get them over the line in a 2-1 win, a result that I’m sure all Wales fans would take this time around too. Wales are not prolific away from home, and the average number of goals in this fixture is 1.8. Talisman Bale has not played for Real Madrid since he last featured for his country, but is in contention here.

GARETH BALE TO SCORE FIRST - ODDS: 5/2

Northern Ireland v Netherlands - 7:45pm, 16th November

It has been a strange few weeks for the Northern Ireland national team, as their manager Michael O’Neil has taken over as the new boss of English Championship side Stoke City. However, he remains in charge of Northern Ireland for the rest of the qualifiers as well as any potential play-offs. It has to be said that he has done an incredible job, especially in this qualifying campaign considering the quality of the group, which includes Germany and The Netherlands.

An immense effort away in The Netherlands last month was all for nothing in the end as two late goals from the Oranje left Northern Irish hearts broken. The result left them in 3rd place and it looks like a tough ask now to finish in the automatic qualification places. Their final two games are against the two giants as well, starting with this contest at Windsor Park in Belfast. Last month’s contest was free flowing and with so much on the line, this could well be similar.

OVER 3.5 GOALS - ODDS: 23/10

Republic of Ireland v Denmark - 7:45pm, 18th November

It is essentially do or die for the Republic of Ireland in their game at home to Denmark on Monday. Win, and they will have all but secured their place at Euro 2020 due to what would be a superior head-to-head record against the Danes. However, anything less than a win and things could all fall apart. This would require Denmark to lose against Gibraltar and Switzerland to drop points against Gibraltar and Georgia. If things do go wrong though, a play-off place could be on the horizon.

The Republic of Ireland will need to make sure that they do not think too much about their last qualifying campaign, for the 2018 World Cup. It was of course Denmark that shattered their dreams with an emphatic 1-5 defeat at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin. The game in Copenhagen ended in a 1-1 draw and four of the last five contests have ended in a draw. With so much on the line in a tense affair, could we see the same result again?

DRAW - ODDS: 9/4
