Euro Cup Betting Breakdown
In addition to predicting the winner of the Euro Cup Final, we will also be gauging the market for some props you can work. These alternative wagers are a great way to diversify your soccer betting portfolio.
For all of these bet types, our odds are coming from BetOnline, and all the same, rules apply. You will want to recheck these Euro Cup props before deciding on any investments.
Once we've gone through a couple of these gambles, we will then get to the main event: Our pick for who will be crowned the victor of the Euro Cup.
Top Goalscorer Of Euro Cup
Here are the odds for which player will lead the Euro Cup in total goals scored. Please note we have included only the options who are laying +4000 or better:
| Player |  |
|---|---|
| Harry Kane | +550 |
| Romelu Lukaku | +700 |
| Kylian Mbappe | +800 |
| Cristiano Ronaldo | +1200 |
| Karim Benzema | +1200 |
| Memphis Depay | +1600 |
| Ciro Immobile | +1800 |
| Robert Lewandowski | +2000 |
| Antoine Griezmann | +2500 |
| Alvaro Morata | +2800 |
| Timo Werner | +2800 |
| Serge Gnabry | +3300 |
| Andre Silva | +4000 |
| Bruno Fernandes | +4000 |
| Burak Yilmaz | +4000 |
| Eden Hazard | +4000 |
| Ferran Torres | +4000 |
| Kai Havertz | +4000 |
| Marcus Rashford | +4000 |
| Olivier Giroud | +4000 |
| Phil Foden | +4000 |
| Raheem Sterling | +4000 |
| Thomas Muller | +4000 |
Homage should always be paid to the reigning winner for this category. In this case, that's Antoine Griezmann (+2500). He led the 2016 tournament with six goals en route to helping France make the Euro Cup Final against Portugal.
Despite being four years older, Griezmann is still just 30, and he remains one of the world's top-scoring forwards. Our real issue: Never, in the history of the Euro Cup tournament, have we seen the same player lead the goal-scoring field twice in a row. If we had our druthers, you'd get better than 25-to-1 odds for Griezmann.
Bettors will naturally gravitate towards Cristiano Ronaldo (+1200), because, well, he's Cristiano Ronaldo. While he has never led the Euro Cup in goals, his longevity speaks for itself. His 40 career Euro Cup scores (including those that came in qualifying rounds) is the most all-time.
Still, the superstar forward turned 36 in February and probably isn't capable of carrying the same scoring load this time around. This isn't to say he can't win this category. But 12-to-1 odds aren't good enough to pique our attention.
For the long-shot enthusiasts, we'd recommend the +4000 stylings of Raheem Sterling, one of the most relentless wingers/attacking midfielders, or Eden Hazard of Belgium, another winger and attacking midfielder whose strength and handle are the stuff of legend.
At the end of the day, though, our favorite for this is Timo Werner (+2800). The forward, who plays for Germany, has really come into his own over the past couple of years. For 2020-21 alone, he has tallied four goals through 12 appearances in the Champions League. Germany is also built to set him in his sweet spots while on the move and should be alive in the Euro Cup long enough to help him pad his stats.
OSB Prediction: Timo Werner (+2800)
Euro Cup Player Of The Tournament
Below are the latest odds for who will be the Euro Cup Player of the Tournament. We are once again showing all contenders laying +4000 odds or better:
| Player of the Tournament | |
|---|---|
| Kevin De Bruyne | +800 |
| Kylian Mbappe | +800 |
| Harry Kane | +1200 |
| Romelu Lukaku | +1800 |
| Antoine Griezmann | +2000 |
| Cristiano Ronaldo | +2000 |
| Ngolo Kante | +2000 |
| Phil Foden | +2000 |
| Joshua Kimmich | +2500 |
| Karim Benzema | +2500 |
| Ruben Dias | +2500 |
| Thiago Alcantara | +2500 |
| Bruno Fernandes | +2800 |
| Frenkie De Jong | +3300 |
| Mason Mount | +3300 |
| Paul Pogba | +3300 |
| Robert Lewandowski | +3300 |
| Toni Kroos | +3300 |
| Eden Hazard | +4000 |
| Ilkay Gundogan | +4000 |
| Raheem Sterling | +4000 |
| Serge Gnabry | +4000 |
Though the leading goal scorer doesn't always win Player of the Tournament, that just so happened to be the case in 2016. The award went to Antoine Griezmann (+2000).
Just as we don't like him too much to repeat as the leading scorer, we don't particularly love him for this. We have some questions about the viability of France long term, and more than that, the odds of a repeat should payout better than 20-to-1.
Consider instead taking a look at Harry Kane (+1200). The striker from England is renowned for both his scoring and passing and has really shown out over the past half-decade with the Tottenham Spurs. England will rely on him to play make for his teammates more than Tottenham, but that's why we like him. He has a real chance to lead the tournament in assists while playing for a leading contender.
OSB Prediction: Harry Kane (+1200)
Euro Cup Winner Prediction
And now the moment everyone's been waiting for.
As we already mentioned, we're actually not too high on this year's favorite, France (+1200). We're not quite sold on their defense, and they play in an ultra-harsh Group F that features Germany (+900) and reigning champion Portugal (+900).
Speaking of Portugal, we have to mention them, since they won in 2016. Repeats are not unheard of. Spain (+800) did it in 2008 and 2012. But Portugal's core is on the older side, and the offense remains too Ronaldo-centric for our tastes.
Germany has our attention as an outside-favorite play. They have a lot of tantalizing offensive players, and we absolutely love the upside of Manuel Peter Neuer. Obviously, we are also expecting big things from Timo Werner.
In the end, however, we're drawn most to Spain and their 8-to-1 odds. Not only are they one of the deeper squads in the tournament—captained by none other than Sergio Busquets—but they by far and away have the leg up on the rest Group E: Sweden (+8000), Poland (+8000) and Slovakia (+35000).
OSB Prediction: Spain (+800)
