Euro 2020 Betting Odds Preview
It’s a year late thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, but Euro 2020 finally begins this week. There’s no sole host country this year, as nations across the continent will be hosting games throughout the tournament. The final, scheduled for July 11, will be held at Wembley Stadium in London.
Will England be playing in the final at Wembley? In the Euro 2020 pre-tournament futures at Bovada Sportsbook, England is listed as the co-favorite along with France at +500.
England, France co-favorites to win Euro 2020
England has never won Euro before and has never actually made it to the Euro final. Led by Harry Kane, could this finally be England’s year? It may depend on how Kane performs, as he is the favorite to lead the tournament in goals at Bovada at +550 on the futures.
England’s run for glory, or the beginning of another disappointment, begins on June 13 against Croatia. England is a -140 favorite in the match.
France will be looking for its third Euro title and first since 2000. In the last Euro tournament in 2016, France finished as the runner-up, losing to Portugal in the final.
