EURO 2024 Odds: Group E Upsets & Surprises

The 2024 European Championships start this weekend, and it is a tournament that some may not be totally familiar with, so let’s break it down quickly.

EURO 2024 Group E Odds: Who’s Most Likely to Move On?

My Analysis for Group E

Like the World Cup, the Euros are contested every 4 years, with each of the 24 teams taking part having arrived either via qualifying or through a playoff system determined by the Nations League tournament, which is always ongoing. The 24 teams are drawn into 6 groups of 4, with the top 2 in each group moving on to the knockout stages tat begin with the Round of 16. The other 4 spots will be taken by the 4 best 3rd place finishers in the group stage. With all of that in mind, let’s take a closer look at Group E.

Belgium Euro Betting Odds -232

We are coming to the end of that has been referred to as the Golden Generation in Belgian football. This squad is getting older now, and you have to say that they have not quite lived up to the promise. This will be their 3rd straight appearance at the Euros, and despite having a fantastic team, they have not made it beyond the Round of 16 in that time. In fact, you need to go all the way back to 1980 to find their best showing in this tournament, when they finished as the runner-up after losing to West Germany in the final. The Round of 16 looks to be a safe bet again here, but beyond that, who knows.

Slovakia Euro Betting Odds +1025

When you talk about the history of this team, you tend to go back to a time when they were still part of Czechoslovakia. Since the split in 2016, Slovakia has been ever present in this tournament, with their best showing as an independent nation coming in 2016, when they lost to Germany in the Round of 16. They finished qualifying with 22 points, which left them 3rd behind Portugal, and they have looked strong in preparation, outscoring their opposition 8-0 in their last 2 games. Still, 3rd in this group is probably the best they can hope for.

Romania Euro Betting Odds +640

The big battle in this group is going to be for 2nd place, as it would be a surprise of epic proportions if Belgium did not land on top. Romania missed out on the last Euros. But they will be hoping for a repeat of their 2016 showing, where they made it out of a tough group and went to the quarterfinals, where they ultimately lost to Italy. They finished top of the table rather comfortably in qualifying, but if there is a concern right now, it is that they have failed to score in their last 2 warm-up games, with both of those outings finishing 0-0.

Ukraine Euro Betting Odds +410

Given the current state of affairs in Ukraine, there are probably going to be several neutral fans rooting for this nation to do well. This group seems to know how to handle adversity well, as they had to take the long road to Germany. They finished 3rd in qualifying, but Ukraine made it to the playoffs, where they beat Bosnia and Iceland, both of which were come-from-behind victories. This is a team that you count out at your own peril, and I think we could well see them take the #2 spot in this group.
