Competition favorites, who to bet on?
The national teams, which for a long time have been in leading positions in the world rankings, have once again become favorites of the competition.

- It is worth paying close attention to the Italian national team, which has not lost since September 2018. Roberto Mancini gathered all the talented youth of the country, which is now literally tearing apart rivals;
- The unambiguous top is the Belgium national team, which has entrenched itself at the top of the world ranking, but so far cannot confirm this status by winning a major tournament;
- The British simply have to show that three of the four European finalists in 2021 represented the country absolutely deservedly. And the final in London motivates the players the best, every player dreams of winning such a trophy at home;
- Portugal cannot be written off either, which got into the most difficult group and will now have to give all its strength. But the Cristiano Ronaldo factor could allow the national team to defend their 2016 title;
- Well, the main favorite of the competition is the French team – the reigning world champion. The “tricolors” simply do not have weak positions, and every footballer is one of the best on the planet. Therefore, it is difficult to imagine that the national team will not make it to the final of Euro 2020.
The above information should definitely be used in the betting process. First, bookmakers offer a wide range of long-term events. The user can choose the winners of the groups, potential finalists, as well as the triumphant of the entire European Championship – 2020. Also, do not pass by individual matches of these teams.
Which footballer should you follow?
Bookmakers certainly will not disregard the individual achievements of each individual footballer. Traditionally, the line is set for the best scorer of the tournament, the top player in the championship and a reliable goalkeeper. Therefore, bettors should definitely pay attention to the following players.
- Cristiano Ronaldo – most likely, for the legendary striker of the Portuguese national team, this is the last European championship of his career. Therefore, the forward is extremely motivated to collect all the possible prizes of this championship;
- Robert Lewandowski is a Pole throughout his career trying to make his country great. And this season he has already won the Golden Boot, which is a major achievement. The striker may well tear apart any defense at the European Championship – 2020;

- Kylian Mbappe – young French talent is already considered one of the main contenders for the Golden Ball. He amazes with fantastic speed and instant decision-making. After winning the world championship, the striker will try to take the European championship into his piggy bank;
- N'Golo Kante, the best footballer of the last Champions League, concretes the midfield line of Chelsea and the French national team. He will definitely be one of the top participants, so you need to closely monitor his actions.
These are not all the players who can open up and play brightly at Euro 2020.
Russian national team, calendar and odds analysis
The Russian national team is guaranteed to hold three meetings at UEFA EURO 2020. It got into group “B”, in which it will fight with Denmark, Finland and Belgium. In addition, the national team will play twice in St. Petersburg, which increases the chances of a direct qualification from the group. The match schedule is as follows:
- June 12 – with Belgium;
- June 16 – with Finland;
- June 21 – with Denmark.
The Russian national team is lucky to have an optimal composition for Euro 2020, the main stars of which should be Alexey Miranchuk, Alexander Golovin and Artyom Dzyuba. Stanislav Cherchesov's wards are quite capable of getting out of the group, so the national team will be in the playoffs (you can bet on this).
But for now, the threshold in the 1/4 finals looks like a barrier through which it will be incredibly difficult to cross, but you can bet on it.
Which bookmakers are the best to place bets on Euro 2020?
Bookmakers tried to prepare well for the start of the European Championship. Almost each offers its own line of events, but we conducted an analysis and selected the best options that the user should definitely try.
- Betcity bookmaker is traditionally famous for its line of long-term events. And now you can find almost any betting option on it. Even a completely reckless user who wants to bet on a possible final between Ukraine and Russia will be able to do it using the line of the Betcity bookmaker's office. The list for each individual match, which includes both main and additional outcomes, as well as bets on the individual achievements of players, is also encouraging.
- 1365 outcomes! This is exactly how much the 1xBet bookmaker represents in the line for each individual event. Is that impressive? Of course, the long-term line looks more impressive and convincing at Betcity. But you can play in a 1xBet bookmaker for the huge number of outcomes that can be used when making a bet. An own goal, a strong-willed victory and a hat-trick from Lewandowski – all this can be found in the list of fights.
- And the League of Bets also prepared a worthy line of events, and backed it up with an exciting “Wheel of Fortune” action. The second season will be entirely dedicated to Euro 2020 and will run from 11 June to 12 July. Betting on the European Championship is worth at least in order to compete for the MacBook Air, iPhone 12 or iPad Air, as well as a lot of other valuable prizes. And the accumulated points can be exchanged for T-shirts, bombers and even special limited socks from the Betting League.
