Latest England Odds – Can anyone stop Southgate’s in-form Three Lions?
England are one of the favourites to win this summer’s competition. Gareth Southgate’s men really came of age at the last World Cup, reaching the semi-final stage and eventually finishing in fourth. It was the Three Lions’ best World Cup performance since lifting the trophy on home soil way back in 1966.
The English have never been European Championship winners, but this current crop of talent is expected to go far this summer. At the time of writing, England and Didier Deschamps’ France are the joint 9/2 favourites to lift the trophy. Belgium (6/1), Spain (7/1), Germany and Portugal (both 15/2) have also been tipped to do well.
Harry Kane Key Facts
- Kane just won the 2020-21 Premier League Golden Boot
- The Tottenham star was the top scorer at the 2018 World Cup
- The England skipper has scored 34 goals for his national side
- Kane is expected to leave Tottenham after the Euros
Group D Preview: Three Lions to finish on nine points?
England begin their tournament with a game against familiar foes Croatia. The English will be out for revenge after losing to the Croatians in the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
After the mouth-watering opening fixture, England take on rivals Scotland at Wembley in their second game. The Scots will no doubt relish the opportunity to cause an upset against their neighbours, but Southgate’s troops are the red-hot favourites in this one.
By the time they face Czech Republic in London in their final Group D match, the English should already be safely through to the last 16. We fancy England to go through with nine points from a possible nine, which Paddy Power has nicely priced at 13/8.
Harry Kane Euro 2020/21 Betting Tip: Striker to win Golden Boot?
It could be an eventful summer for England’s captain. Kane’s Tottenham Hotspur future is in serious doubt, with the 27-year-old – who will turn 28 in July – expected to leave north London before the start of the 2021-22 Premier League season.
Manchester City and Manchester United are the current favourites to land the Spurs striker, with a Premier League stay set to be his number one choice. However, the likes of Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona – plus one or two others – will be hoping to lure him away from England.
Whatever happens after the Euros should not affect his performances for England in the summer. Kane is the ultimate professional, who just loves scoring goals. As we touched on, in the World Cup in Russia three years back, England’s No. 9 finished top scorer on six goals.
Kane also won the 2020-21 Premier League Golden Boot, pipping Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah to the crown by just one goal. He also bagged the Premier League Playmaker of the Season gong. We fancy Kane to finish top scorer at Euro 2020, which is currently available at 5/1.
Other England Euro Predictions: How far will Southgate’s side go?
After Southgate’s provisional squad announcement, we now have a fair idea of who will be lining up for the Three Lions this summer. Skipper Kane will be the first name on Gareth’s team sheet.
As we touched on, many fans and pundits alike fancy England’s chances in the Euros. The English are used to being among the favourites before a ball has been kicked in major tournaments, but this year it feels a little different.
Southgate has slowly but surely turned the Three Lions back into a European powerhouse, and we fancy England to make the semi-finals at the very least. For those brave enough, Paddy Power are offering 9/2 for England to win the delayed pan-European competition.
