Unfortunately, the Euro 2020 Championship had to be postponed thanks to the coronavirus pandemic. Thankfully, we can look forward to it this year. The finals of this competition will see six groups of four fighting it out for a spot in the last sixteen. The top two teams out of each of these groups will qualify for the next stage of the competition. The top four 3rd place countries will also qualify for the next stage.
Considering the fact that Euro 2021 is just around the corner, many people will start to question whether they should place a bet on their favourite team. If you would like to place a bet on a Euro 2021 team, but you have not placed a bet before, you have come to the right place. Here are some of our Euro 2021 betting tips for beginners:
1. Picking a Team
If it is your first time betting on the Euros, it might be an idea to do some research into which teams are favourite to win. Here are some of the favourites for Euro 2021:
England – England are currently the favourites to win Euro 2021. This is not surprising really, as they reached the semi-finals in the 2018 World Cup. France – France is also considered to be one of the favourites to win the competition. France managed to win the previous World Cup, so it is clear that they have a team of talented players. Portugal – although many football fans put the success of Portugal’s football team down to one man – Cristiano Ronaldo – this is not the case. Portugal managed to win the last Euro Championship without the help of Ronaldo, meaning they are capable of amazing things. They are certainly a team to look out for this year. Germany – we cannot create a list of the best football teams without including Germany. While Germany may no longer have some of the legends in its team that helped them to win the 2012 World Cup, they are still a formidable team. 2. Choosing the Right Type of Bet
Before betting on the Euro Championship, it is important to decide which type of bet is more likely to bring you big bucks. Here are some of the most common types of bets for Euro Championship predictions:
To qualify – the Euro Championships begin with a group stage, meaning you can bet on the teams you think will get through to the next stage. Of course, teams that are ranked as the favourite for the event are unlikely to offer brilliant odds, but you can certainly make some money by betting on some of the less favourable teams (as long as they qualify for the next stage). Top 4 finish – to receive any money for this bet, your chosen team needs to reach the semi-finals of the competition. If they do, you will make a profit. Golden boot – one of the best bits about the Euro Championships is the immense goals and wonder strikes. If you think you know which player will receive the golden boot, why not place a bet? Some of the key players for this market include Mbappe, Kane, Ronaldo and more. Winner of the championship – it can often be hard to predict who will win the competition. However, if you think you know who will win, betting on the winner is a great idea.
Other types of bets include things like:
Placing a bet on who will win the player of the tournament Which player will get the most yellow cards Which player will score a penalty 3. Finding the Best Sports Betting Odds
If you want to get the best sports betting odds, betting on the underdogs is a brilliant option. Here are some of the underdogs for the Euro 2021 competition:
Netherlands – although the Netherlands is not one of the favourites to win the competition, they are not far behind. The only problem with this team is that they currently lack a good quality striker. Spain – the Spanish football team has some incredibly talented individuals, and they can play some extremely fast football. This is why they are a team to watch out for. Croatia – Croatia reached the World Cup finals in 2018 but since then one of their best players has retired and will not be joining the team at the championship next year. Italy – there are lots of quality football players in the Italian team. Italy is likely to rank highly in the competition.
Here are some other factors to consider when looking for the best sporting odds:
Choose events with well-matched teams Choose matches where ties (draws) are possible
The UEFA Euro Championship is the biggest international tournament in football. Following its postponement in 2020 thanks to the coronavirus pandemic, it will now be held in June 2021. With so many amazing teams heading to the tournament, it can be extremely difficult for fans to predict who will win the competition. If you are new to betting, and you are thinking of betting on the Euro 2021 competition, make sure to follow our advice above.
