The latest iteration of the UEFA Euro Championship has already kicked off, and fans are very excited for what is about to go down. Many have travelled from all over Europe (and beyond) to watch the games in person. Others are satisfied following along from home.
Betting on Euro 2024
Of course, there are those who are interested in placing bets. While land-based bookies are still available in most countries, a lot of people nowadays prefer to wager online. After all, online sportsbooks cover all the same events, and you don’t have to leave your home to place a wager.
For those wondering if online bookies are covering the Euro 2024, have no fear. It is one of the most popular events to bet on right now. In anticipation for the upcoming CONMEBOL-UEFA Cup of Champions, EURO 2024 betting odds are available at most online shops.
What most Spanish fans of football are interested in, however, is whether their beloved Furia Roja stands a chance of winning the tournament. That is what we’d like to explore in this article.
Spain’s Track Record
Spain is one of the most successful countries when it comes to football, both national and international. They are home to Real Madrid and Barcelona, two of the most popular football clubs, not just in Europe, but in the world. Real Madrid is often considered the best club in modern day football as well, though that is of course up for debate.
Spain’s national team, La Furia Roja (or simply La Roja), have also had a pretty impressive career. Seeing as how they are the ones competing in the UEFA Euro Championship, the main focus should be on them. As far as their career goes, the Reds have done an impressive job at some of the most prestigious tournaments, including the Euros.
In the World Cup, they’ve appeared a total of 16 times, since 1934. They managed to win their first, and to-date, only tournament in 2010. As for the European Championship, they’ve appeared in it 12 times since 1964, and have won a total of three championships, most recently in 2012. So, how are their odds looking this year?
Their Odds in 2024
Spain is starting off the tournament on a tough note. They’ve been placed in Group B, along with Croatia, Italy, and Albania. Italy and Croatia are their biggest rivals here. Italy are the returning champions, having won their second Euro Championship title in 2020. Croatia, on the other hand, performed admirably during the 2022 World Cup.
However, despite the tough start, a lot of fans, bettors, bookies, journalists, and professionals believe Spain still has a shot. In fact, they are among the top five favourites, as far as odds are concerned. Indeed, most are convinced that Spain will manage to proceed into the knockout stage. Quite a few also believe that Spain might just reach the finals this year as well.
So, what are Spain’s chances to win the UEFA Euro Championship 2024? They certainly aren’t zero. In fact, the odds are in their favour, at least for the most part. Though they will certainly have tough competitors, La Furia Roja might just win their fourth championship in 2024.
