EURO 2024 Betting Tips
Making successful EURO 2024 bets will be difficult. A tournament as important as this often throws surprise results into the works. After three group stage games, they will eliminate eight teams from the competition. That means many soccer bets will be out the window before the knockout stage.
To help you avoid some poor wagers at the Euros, we have created a list of EURO 2024 betting tips. For more information about the tournament, check our EURO 2024 stadiums guide. We also have an article explaining when EURO 2024 starts and where to watch it in Ireland.
- Go Easy on Group Stage Betting: When the Euros kicks off on June 14th, the temptation will be to bet on all games in the first few days. However, it’s always difficult to call international matches without watching how the teams play or who makes the starting 11. Betting will be difficult regardless, so don’t go crazy during the group stage.
- Be Careful with Accumulators: Betting on multiple group stage fixtures could be a great way to land a high-odds wager. However, just choosing the favourites makes it easy to be caught out. Group stages always chuck in some surprises. Whether the host nation starts with a draw or a surprise defeat to a favourite, anything can happen in the opening fixtures.
- Pace Yourself: Our first few tips have been all about caution. Being careful with your wagers early on sets a good tone for the tournament, as we have a month of games to enjoy. There will be 51 fixtures between June 14th and July 14th, so ensure you don’t make heavy losses before the knockout games. In our experience, betting on the Euros round of 16 and semi-finals has always been more profitable than the group stage.
- Live Betting: Making live bets during the Euros is a great way to enjoy the tournament. If you watch some games and see players scoring freely, you can bet on them during the match to add to their tally. You can also bet on smaller events, like corners and cards when placing live wagers. Sometimes, it’s better not to predict the result ahead of time, but the goal scorers or any assists.
- Check the Squads: Before June 6th, every manager will have released their national team of at least 23 players. Finding out who has been called up and who the manager left out will help you avoid bad wagers. We will keep you updated with the latest EURO 2024 news, including team news. But keep an eye out for any injuries or withdrawals between now and the start of the competition.
- Wait to Bet: If you bet on the tournament winner, wait until most teams have played their first game. The odds will fluctuate throughout the tournament, so there is no need to rush into a wager. Take your time, and try and pick a team not just playing well, but one with an easy road to the final.
- Look for Unique Bets: As the Euros only takes place every four years, there are several unique markets you can bet on. At our online sports betting site, you can bet on the outright winner of the tournament, the winner of each group, the Golden Boot, and even which group the winning team comes from. You can also bet on the tournament statistics, such as the number of goals scored, corners, yellow cards, and penalties. Ensure you search beyond just the match winners from the opening games at the Euros.
Remember, if you place bets, look into responsible gambling. There are over 50 matches taking place in 30 days, so you don’t have to bet on every fixture.

Group Stage Predictions for the Euros
Predicting the Euro 2024 group stage will be difficult. The expectation to find form in three games often means a favourite or strong team crashes out early. This year is no exception. Many underdogs have achieved surprising results already.
- Group A: Germany and Switzerland will walk through the group stage with little to no problems. Hungary should be the best of the rest, but this Scottish side has tremendous spirit and support. We predict the Scots will pick up two points in the group stage, sending Hungary home and giving The Tartan Army a glimmer of hope of progressing into the knockout stage.
- Group B: This group should have been a three-horse race, and it still could be, but not with the three teams we expected. Spain will top the group, closely followed by Italy. Albania has been magnificent to watch, and they could do enough to squeeze into one of the best loser positions. Croatia has no chance and will end the golden generation on a damp squib.
- Group C: We remain undecided, as none of the teams have made a powerful impression. The expectation is for England, but they have not put in a threatening performance for quite some time. There is greater disappointment for Denmark and Slovenia. The Danes must do better and take their opportunities or they will face a battle for third. We predict England and Slovenia will go through.
- Group D: No surprises so far in Group D, but Poland and Austria have looked dangerous. They failed to get anything out of the first games, but that is to be expected. France and Netherlands will easily secure the top spots, but a win for the other two teams puts them almost guaranteed to qualify. If Lewandowski returns, Poland should have the quality to send Austria home early.
- Group E: What a brilliant group this has been so far. Romania pulled out a world-class performance to embarrass Ukraine, something Slovakia emulated against Belgium. There is still time for Belgium to save face, but Ukraine is likely to head home. We predict Slovakia to top the group, Belgium second, and Romania third.
- Group F: Finally, Group F has already delivered some superb performances. Portugal still looks the most likely to top the group, but Türkiye could be a surprise second. Czechia is the biggest disappointment in the group, and we expect them to go home. If Georgia can get three points on the board, they should qualify.
Euro 2024 Round of 16 Predictions
Based on our Euro 2024 group stage prediction, we expect the following teams to progress into the next stage of the competition.
- Germany
- Switzerland
- Spain
- Italy
- Albania
- England
- Slovenia
- Netherlands
- France
- Poland
- Romania
- Slovakia
- Belgium
- Türkiye
- Portugal
- Georgia
Where each team finishes in the group will drastically change the draw and who is likely to progress. They will eliminate half of these teams, so we are likely to see a few favourites crash out early. Check with Novibet later in the tournament to see the most accurate EURO predictions.
Quarterfinal Predictions Euro 2024
It is too early to call the quarterfinals at Euro 2024. However, we are going to give it our best shot! We will update this section during the tournament to ensure our prediction is accurate.
- Germany
- Spain
- Italy
- England
- Netherlands
- France
- Portugal
- Türkiye
We expect the following teams to face off and fight for a spot in the final four. This stage of the tournament proves to be the most exciting as we predict several giant killings in the quarterfinals.
Euro 2024 Semifinal Predictions
Looking at merit, we believe the four teams listed below will make it to the semifinals. This prediction is not based on the draw, as it’s impossible to work out who will face off in the earlier stages of the competition. However, it could be worth backing any of the countries below in a bet on the Euro 2024 winner.
- Germany
- England
- Spain
- Netherlands
Portugal and France could be the biggest scalps in the competition as the French squad may struggle with a broken nose Mbappé. Portugal has a fantastic squad, but ageing players like Ronaldo and Pepe will cost the team when facing Europe's elite. You could probably swap England with either team as the Brits have looked anything but convincing as of late.
Euro 2024 Final Predictions
Prediction: Germany 2-1 England, Germany to win Euro 2024
While it would break English hearts, we predict they could get to another Euro final. However, they will have to defeat a bogey team away from home. We expect Germany to defeat whoever they face in the final, especially England.
The team with the best chance of disrupting this narrative is Spain. The youthful and energetic side looks like the type of team nobody would like to face. To get past the high-intensity side, you would have to push onto the Spanish midfield, opening it up for 16-year-old Lamal to make history. However, there is something about this German side that should have every country nervous, especially if they make it to the final. If you want to bet on the winner of Euro 2024, Germany is looking like your best option.
Last 10 Winners of EURO 2024
Before making any EURO 2024 bets, we recommend taking a closer look at the most recent winners of the competition. While a lot has changed over the four years between the UEFA competitions, there is an interesting trend developing in recent years. Below are the ten most recent finals, including the location of each game.
- 2020: Italy vs England, 3-2 Penalties (Wembley Stadium, England)
- 2016: Portugal vs France, 1-0 Extra Time (Stade de France, France)
- 2012: Spain vs Italy, 4-0 (Olimpiyskiy National Sports Complex, Ukraine)
- 2008: Spain vs Germany, 1-0 (Ernst-Happel-Stadion, Austria)
- 2004: Greece vs Portugal, 1-0 (Estádio da Luz, Portugal)
- 2000: France vs Italy, 2-1 Golden Goal (Feijenoord Stadion, Netherlands)
- 1996: Germany vs Czech Republic, 2-1 Golden Goal (Wembley Stadium, England)
- 1992: Denmark vs Germany, 2-0 (Ullevi, Sweden)
- 1988: Netherlands vs Soviet Union 2-0 (Olympiastadion, Germany)
- 1984: France vs Spain, 2-0 (Parc des Princes, France)
Only once in the past ten attempts has the winning team played on home soil. In three of the most recent finals, the team playing on home turf has lost the final. That includes the two most recent Euros between Italy and England plus Portugal and France. Both France and England played on home turf but lost the last game. That does not bode well for Germany, who wants their first UEFA European Competition win since 1996.

Who Qualified for the EUROs?
24 teams qualified for the Euros this year. As the host nation, Germany was enrolled automatically for the tournament, leaving 23 spots up for grabs. There were 53 teams in the qualifying stages, because of the sanctions on Russia and Germany’s host status. They split the 53 teams into ten groups, with the top two finishers securing automatic qualification into this competition.
That left three spots in the 24 total to be filled by the Euro 2024 play-offs. The losing teams entered the play-offs based on their performance in the 2022/23 UEFA Nations League. Of those 12 teams, Georgia, Ukraine, and Poland won their games and secured the last spots in this year’s competition. Georgia was the fairytale story, the only team making their debut this year. Below, is a list of all 24 countries competing in EURO 2024.
- Germany
- Belgium
- France
- Portugal
- Scotland
- Spain
- Turkey
- Austria
- England
- Hungary
- Slovakia
- Albania
- Denmark
- Netherlands
- Romania
- Switzerland
