Euro 2020: Soccer Predictions and Betting Picks
For the first time in history, the European Football (Soccer) Championship will be held not in one or two, but immediately in the whole group of 12 countries.
In total, Euro 2020 matches will host 12 best stadiums in 12 various European regions. This format is to mark the 60th anniversary of the popular tournament and is the reason there’s no single host country for the Championship. No host team has got a direct ticket to Euro 2020 like it was in previous years. All participants will have to qualify if they are to reach the final tournament. Here is a short review of current soccer predictions and betting picks for the #1 Soccer tournament in Europe.
Bookies are ready enough

On bookies’ websites one can also bet on the Euro 2020 winner, teams that will take first place in their groups, and teams that will reach the knock-out stages. Some bookmakers already have lines for the competition’s top scorer. Sites such as 918Kiss are a great example of live online scorekeeping.

The same situation is with Poland, Italy, Denmark, Switzerland, and several other teams that showed excellent results in qualification.
Betting on the top scorer
One football player will receive a golden boot for top scorer and it’s likely to be one from one of the leading teams. That’s why the main contenders for the victory in the scoring race are those whose teams are favorites. These are Harry Kane (England), Romelu Lucaco (Belgium), Kilian Mbappe and Antoine Griezmann (France). Of course, the Portuguese legend Cristiano Ronaldo is also a contender. Here is the list of ten best favorites with the average odds according to the bookmakers:
- Harry Kane (England) – 6.00;
- Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal) – 8.00;
- Romelu Lukaku (Belgium) – 9.00;
