Will it be England, France, Germany or Scotland? Opta predicts each country's chances of winning Euro 2024
Having endured a painful defeat by Italy in the final at Wembley Stadium, it was hard not to wonder if the Three Lions had just thrown away their best opportunity of major tournament success.According to Opta's pre-tournament projections for Euro 2024, the window of victory remains very much open for Gareth Southgate's side this summer…
While the news will no doubt be warmly welcomed by many, you're probably now wondering how exactly we've arrived at that outcome… and it's a fair question. While the Opta predictor puts England in first position, it is France - the team who knocked them out of the 2022 World Cup - who are hot on their heels at the top end of the charts.
As for those who look the surest bets to make some noise in the knockout stages, England, France, Germany, Spain, and Portugal are the five teams given a 50% or better chance of reaching at least the quarter-finals.Steve Clarke's men will have it all to do to secure qualification in Group A, which looks primed to be one of most evenly-matched groups in the tournament overall.
