Is it Euro 2020 or Euro 2021? We don't care, all we care about is football is back!

Major International competitions are some of the only times many of you will bet on games other than poker, so we wanted to look at the best odds for each team to win the whole tournament. 

France are the favourites at the moment at 9/2 with bet365 with England behind them at 5/1. Given they always raise their game in major competitions, Germany look good value at 7/1.

If you are looking for a long shot there are plenty to choose from, but Czech Republic at 150/1 seems like a steal. 

Team Outright Odds (Decimal)
France 5.5
England 6
Belgium 7
Germany  8
Spain 8.5
Portugal 9
Italy 12
Netherlands 13
Denmark 29
Croatia 34
Turkey 51
Switzerland 67
Poland 81
Sweden 101
Ukraine 51
Austria 81
Czech Republic 151
Russia 67
Wales 201
Scotland 251
Finland 501
Hungary 401
North Macedonia 501
Slovakia 251
