Just over five months before the start of Euro 2024 organized in Germany, the French team remains at the top of the list of favorites among bookmakers.
The big meeting is approaching for the twenty-four teams who will compete in Euro 2024 organized from June 14 to July 14 in Germany. If there are still three tickets to be validated among the participants in the play-offs which will take place next March, France is already guaranteed to take part in the festivities. Three years after the big disappointment of Euro 2021 (exit in the round of 16 against Switzerland), Didier Deschamps’ men hope to do as well, or even better, than in 2016 when they reached the final (defeat 0-1 against Portugal). In any case, they are popular.
According to the bookmakers, the Blues are still very strong favorites for the final victory. Odds of 4.5 to 1 which place them on a par with England, also popular with statistical soothsayers. Quite far behind, then comes Germany (7/1) then Spain (8.5/1). Winner in 2016, Portugal ranks fifth with odds lower than France (9/1). After this Top 5, a gap widens since Belgium is rated 15 to one, followed closely by the Netherlands (16/1).
The supporters believe it too
Finalist in the 2022 World Cup, the French team therefore remains a sure bet in world football, having one of the finest squads in the world currently and for many years. It now remains to be seen and known whether Kylian Mbappé’s partners will manage to live up to the expectations placed on them. Six years after their coronation at the 2018 World Cup, and three after winning the Nations League (2021), they will be expected. French supporters believe in it, at least as much as the bookmakers.
