England have often gone into major tournaments as heavy favourites over the past two decades, and this time is no exception, with a squad that boasts a promising attack. Any defence at EURO 2024 will have to be wary of England's attacking prowess, which includes Bayern Munich's Harry Kane, Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham, and Manchester City star Phil Foden. " With 19.1%, France are seen as England's biggest rivals, having beaten the Three Lions in Qatar and reached the World Cup final for two consecutive years, according to Opta. Hosts Germany (12.4%) and Spain (9.6%) are also considered strong candidates.

Regarding the Portuguese national team, this year's tournament could be the last EURO that Cristiano Ronaldo participates in. CR7 currently holds the record for the most matches (25 matches) and goals (14 goals) in EURO tournaments. This will be the 6th consecutive EURO that the superstar has participated in and promises to continue to set new records. With the presence of Ronaldo, Portugal is the only team to reach the knockout round in 7 consecutive EURO tournaments (since 1996). They also have a perfect record of passing the group stage in all 8 previous participations. At EURO 2024, Opta predicts that Ronaldo's team has a 93.6% chance of passing the group stage and an 18% chance of reaching the final round, even having a 9.2% chance of winning the championship.
