The starting signal for the European Championship will be given in Rome on Friday evening. Just in time for the opening game between Italy and Turkey, we want to know from the football fans: who is the hottest favorite for the title and who is at the forefront in the favor of the South Tyroleans?
09. June 2021
On Friday evening the Olimpico in Rome finally starts, then the long wait will come to an end: the 2020 European Championship will open a year late.
With the opening game between Italy and Turkey, a whole month begins with a concentrated load of football. In 11 venues across Europe, 24 teams compete against each other in 51 games. The hottest question in the run-up to the EM is of course: who will win the title?
An answer to the question is not that easy, because the circle of final contenders is bigger than seldom before the tournament. However, one team is very popular with bookmakers, namely world champion France. If the title is won in the “Les Bleus” peppered with exceptional talent, the betting providers do not even pay six times the stake.
Everyone chases the world champion
In addition to France, the top favorites again this year include Spain and Germany, as well as England and the still untitled Belgians. An insider tip could be the Italians, who under coach Roberto Mancini recently sparked a new euphoria in the boot state.
Now we want from them SportNews-Readers know: is your big EM favorite among these teams? Or maybe the Dutch, defending champions Portugal or another team from the field of outsiders grab the trophy? Vote here …
