Turkish After a frustrating season of football which saw matches being played in empty stadiums and last years tournament postponed, Euro 2020 is finally here and will run from Friday 11th June – Saturday 12th July with fixtures being held all around Europe.
As the tournament is only weeks away, we’ll be taking a look at some of the ante-post markets that are available as well as other popular Euro 2020 betting markets that you may wish to consider throughout the tournament. The advantage of ante-post markets is that you are often able to get much bigger odds than if you wait until closer to the tournament time to place your bets. However, the disadvantage of ante-post bets is that things can change from the time you place your bet to the time Euro 2020 actually gets underway. For example, you may place an ante-post bet on Harry Kane to be the Euro 2020 Top Scorer but if he gets injured before the tournament, your bet would lose before it has even had a chance to get going.
Below, we’ll take a look at some of the most popular ante-post betting markets for Euro 2020 along with the odds currently available with the top UK bookies. Be sure to take a look at our betting offers page for the latest Euro 2020 offers.
Euro 2020 Winner
Betting on the winner of Euro 2020 is the most popular betting market with punters looking to have a flutter on their team going all the way. Whether you’re looking to back the favourites or have a small play on an outsider with big odds, you can do so pre-tournament.
The odds for the outright winner market of Euro 2020 are unlikely to fluctuate as much as other markets and so there isn’t as much of an advantage placing your winner bets just a couple of weeks in advance. However, there is also less risk as although key players can get injured which may impact the likelihood of the team winning, they can be replaced by other squad members which will mean that your bet will always run.
The bookies Euro 2020 Winner ante-post odds have England as favourites to win the tournament. Southgate has an exciting variety of players to choose from and with Germany being less of a dominant force these days, competition could be seen as less than in previous years. However, there are still a handful of teams that are likely to cause potential problems for the Three Lions with the France and Belgium squads featuring several world-class players who have the ability to score goals.

Euro 2020 Top Goalscorer
One betting market that you may be able to get more value from when betting ante-post is the Top Goalscorer market. However, as the tournament start date draws closer, there is less chance of players getting injured and so the odds a week or so before the tournament begins will likely be close to what is offered when it gets underway. However, many managers, including Gareth Southgate, are yet to name their squads for Euro 2020 which means that there may be value in backing an attacking player who is not certain to be named in the squad as if they are, their odds with the bookies will surely shorten.
England’s Phil Foden is set to be named in Southgate’s squad and is a tempting 100/1 to bag the most goals at this year’s Euros. He may not be an obvious choice but if he gets a start and puts in a good performance, he could feature heavily throughout the tournament and we’ve seen what he’s capable of in front of goal for Manchester City. Similarly, Everton’s Calvert Lewin is likely to make the cut but could only be a stand-in for Harry Kane. However, should Kane get an injury pre-tournament or in the first game, the Everton forward could get his chance and can be backed at 150/1. Lastly, Borussia Dortmund’s Jadon Sancho has shown that he is eager in front of goal when he has been given minutes on the pitch by Southgate. If he features heavily during the tournament, he could be an outside shout at odds of 100/1.
The odds on the Euro 2020 Top Scorer will fluctuate both when the squads are announced and throughout the tournament and so with a little bit of research, it is possible to find value in this market when betting ante-post. Southgate is set to name his 26-man squad on 25th May.
Below is a selection of ante-post odds for Euro 2020 Top Scorer options.
7/1 |  8/1 |  10/1 | 10/1 | 20/1 |
20/1 |  25/1 | 25/1 | 25/1 | 28/1 |
100/1 | 10/1 | 10/1 | 40/1 | 100/1 |
Euro 2020 Player of the Tournament
The Euro Player of the Tournament has been awarded to a player in each UEFA European Championship tournament since 1966. Winners were announced in tournaments prior to 1996 but these were unofficial honours. The Player of the Tournament is determined by an individual UEFA panel and so can sometimes be left open to opinion and controversy.
All six winners of this award have played for one of the two teams who reached the final in the year of their award so this should help you determine the best player to select. If you can predict which team(s) will reach the final, then you should have a much better chance of correctly selecting the Player of the Tournament. This is generally because players who reach the final have more pitch time to make an impression, score goals and attain merit towards the award.
Based on the above, it’s no surprise to see the favourites for the Euro 2020 Player of the Year feature in the top teams that are predicted to do well at the tournament.
 9/1 | 9/1 |  14/1 | 20/1 | 25/1 |
To Reach The Final
‘To Reach The Final’ of Euro 2020 is an interesting betting market and one that is often overlooked for the more popular ‘Winner’ market. Take England for example who are 5/1 to win the tournament but 11/4 to reach the final. If they did reach the final, unless they met one of the underdogs, it’s hard to see the value in backing them for the win pre-tournament. For example, if you placed £10 on England to win Euro 2020 pre-tournament, your returns would be £60. If you placed £10 on them to reach the final of Euro 2020, your returns would be £37.50. That means that the odds on England to win the final would only have to be above 3/5 (1.60) for it to be the better option.
If you are considering placing a bet on the winner of Euro 2020, it may be worth comparing the odds against your team to simply reach the final.
11/4 | 3/1 | 3/1 | 7/2 | 7/2 |
4/1 | 5/1 | 11/2 | 14/1 |  14/1 |
