The clock is counting down now to Euro 2016 and everywhere you look you are going to be weighing up your pricing options for the tournament. Which of the 24 entering nations will be crowned European Champions at the end of the tournament. Will it be one of the regular big guns from the continent or will someone pull off a ‘Leicester’ and cause an upset, evoking memories of Greece and Denmark from tournaments past?
You can find some of the top Euro 2016 Odds at Bet365 as the bookmaker offers a tremendous amount of markets and top prices. The Euro 2016 outright winner market has been standing pretty still for the last month or so, with France holding favouritism at the head of the market and France Euro 2016 Odds at Bet365 are currently stuck on that 3/1 mark which is to be found across the board at all bookmakers.
Germany were in level with them at one point, but some dodgy defensive displays and questionable friendly results have raised a few questions about the reigning World Champions and they have gone on the drift a little bit out to 7/2 with Bet365. Current reigning European Champions Spain have been flying under the radar quite a bit during Euro 2016 build ups but they have come into a price of 11/2 in Euro 2016 Odds at Bet365 as they try and make it three consecutive European Championship titles.
With striker Nolito shining in pre-tournament warm up matches, he has been moved into a price of 33/1 in Bet365 Euro 2016 Top Scorer odds. That’s a big price on the striker, but Spain really need a forward who can pull his weight up top and could the Celta Vigo player be the surprise package of the tournament? He really wasn’t even in the picture a couple of months ago to get into the Euro 2016, but he has staked a big claim for a star showing at the finals. He will have to compete with Alvaro Morata, so may be Spain’s main issue of not having a number nine isn’t really an issue at all.
Nolito of course is that big 33/1 price in Bet365 Euro 2016 Top Scorer odds but he is around the same mark as Mario Mandzukic and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, two proven strikers. Right at the head of the market, Thomas Muller is a 7/1 outright favourite to top score in the competition, with Cristiano Ronaldo and France’s Antoine Griezmann at 8/1. England’s Harry Kane is a 12/1 shot to land the Golden Boot at France 2016. Can a Spanish striker get their hands on the scoring crown? David Villa did it in 2008 and Fernando Torres did it four years ago in 2012.
Spain are running in Group D at Euro 2016 where they take on Croatia, Turkey and the Czech Republic. That is a group which throws up some tricky opponents for the Spaniards, but nothing you wouldn’t expect them to get through. Bet365 Euro 2016 odds have Spain at 4/6 to win Group D outright and they are a heavy odds on quote of 1/10 to qualify. It would be a massive shock if they went the same was as they group stage exit at World Cup 2014 which was a real shocker as they fell apart completely.
The last time that the European Championships were held in France, Spain went to the final, where they lost 2-0 against the hosts in 1984. They have the track record with wins in the last two editions of the European Championships, but while their approach to this year’s championships have been a bit understated, they still showed in qualification that they can get the job done more than efficiently. La Roja carded a W9 D0 L1 record in qualification, conceding just the three goals along the way and they faced tricky opponents in Slovakia and the Ukraine along the way.
So there may be a sting in the tail of Spain still again this time around. Can they beat out the favouritism of France and Germany to go all of the way to the final? Interestingly if they do win their group and get through, they could well meet England in the semi finals of the competition (if the Three Lions win their group). So how appealing are those Bet365 Euro 2016 odds on Spain? There is a certain degree of appeal in there.
