UEFA European Championship, or simply Euro, is the major summer’s European championship. It is traditionally held once in four years, and the upcoming 2021 year’s competition is the first Euro contest in the whole history that was postponed. As the event will occur during the Covid-19 pandemic, it will have particular rules and a new format, with fewer viewers on the stadiums and the help of new systems like the video assistant referees. For marketing purposes, the name Euro 2020 was not changed so that you can meet this title in many sports magazines and sportsbooks.
Like in Euro 2016, there will be 24 teams in the contest, chosen according to the results of the Euro 2020 qualifying. The main event will take place from June 11 to July 11; the exact schedule of the event is the following:
- The group stage, part 1: June 11-June 15;
- The group stage, part 2: June 16-June 19;
- The group stage, part 3: June 20-June 23;
- 1/8 Finals: June 26-June 29;
- 1/4 Finals: July 2-July 3;
- 1/2 Finals: July 6-July 7;
- Final: July 11.

EURO 2021 – 60th anniversary of the European Championships
Euro 2021 was supposed to be a special event in UEFA history even before the Covid-19 pandemics crucially changed all plans.
It will be the first Euro championship that will take place in more than one or two countries but is spread around eleven countries, the national UEFA associations. The UEFA Committee made such a decision because Euro 2020 was supposed to be the 60th anniversary of the contest.
Just like the previous Euro championship, there will be 24 teams. As the tournament was postponed, and the pandemics’ safety measures prevented teams from regular training for some time, the championship outcomes became a bit vague and uncertain; besides, modern systems and new rules were embedded, so the whole event can turn out to be pretty unpredictable.
Euro 2021 odds: Which team will win?
Bookmakers have already prepared their odds for the upcoming Euro championship, and the experts have already equipped their forecasts about the possible outcomes of the contest. Although most sports bettors put high hopes on world champions France, the FIFA-2018 outright winner, they did not show impressive results during the qualifying tournament. Let’s review a range of the most expected upcoming matches to analyze the possible game results.
France vs. Germany
While France still has big chances to appear in the Finals, their first performance that will be against Germany is not going to be smooth. They feature world-class players like Kilian Mbappe, Antoine Grizmann, and Olivier Giroud; the roster also includes great midfielders with Kante Lemar, Matuidi, and Sissoko. However, oddsmakers suppose the German team can turn out to be superior after Low picked Müller and Hummels and hired young players to create a balance between youth and experience.
Russia vs. Belgium
The game takes place at the Russian home stadium. However, we doubt it will help them much. Belgium has already won Russia several times, and one of them was also a domestic game for Cherchesov’s team. Both have strong squads, but Russia may face issues to stand against Doku and Trossar.
Turkey vs. Italy
This match opening Euro 2020 is one of the top anticipated events with controversial forecasts. Turkish squad’s leading forward dropped out due to a severe knee injury which is a significant loss for the team, as it seems that primary hopes were laid on him. However, two other vital players Yılmaz and Yazıci, have a chance to change the game. On the other hand, this is not the luckiest tournament bracket for Turkey, as Italy shows impressive results in home matches, so a possible outcome is Turkey to win with a minor margin.
The Netherlands vs. Austria
According to the latest statistics, the Dutch team performed better than Austria, but generally, their chances are more or less even. While Frank De Bour and his squad are the favorites of the upcoming match, they will not likely win at ease. If we look back to the qualifying tournaments, the Netherlands won six games out of eight, while Austria had three defeats of ten games. The straightforward matchup between two teams ended up in six wins of Dutch in a row in the recent games.
Portugal vs. France
After both teams announced the rosters for Euro 2020, it became clear that we are going to watch an exciting encounter of Mbappe and Ronaldo, two world-class leading players; the other members of both squads are also superior, and the stats of both National teams show many ultimate winnings and overall excellent performance. France is an uncertain favorite for this game, according to the oddsmakers, but Portugal’s victory or the draw is also possible.
Portugal vs. Germany
Portugal and Germany had only a few encounters, and even though Portugal’s rosters for Euro 2020 are more than superior, Germany is still a major favorite of the upcoming match. However, we expect at least one goal from Portugal, and a chance of a draw is also pretty high.
Italy vs. Switzerland
Italy’s squad is the strongest team of group A, and their game against Switzerland will be held in their domestic stadium in Rome, which also gives them a serious advantage. In the long-standing confrontation between Italy and Switzerland, the latter one has never managed to win. Although the Swiss team has shown decent results, oddsmakers are pretty sure they have little chance to win against Italy.
Turkey vs. Switzerland
Turkey features a young but powerful team; they performed well during the qualifying stage; Switzerland’s squad consists of experienced strong players who reproved their skills in the latest games in the UEFA Nations League. It will be an exciting encounter, and we suppose it is possible that Turkey can win with a slight margin, and both teams might score at least once.

Turkey vs. Italy | June 11, 15:00 | Stadio Olimpico, Rome | +680/+265/-177 |
