Why England Will Win the 2020 Euro
England entered the tournament as the second favorite behind France. A fantastic group stage, followed up by impressive wins in the knockout stage against Germany, Ukraine, and Denmark has earned them a chance to win their first-ever European championship.
The strength of England’s squad comes from their defense and goaltending, as Denmark’s goal against them in the semi-final was the first they conceded all tournament.
Not only have they been fantastic in their own end, but they have also received stellar play from their strikers. Raheem Sterling in particular has been pure class this tournament, becoming the betting favorite to be named Best Player of the Tournament.
It’s tough to find a weak spot on England’s squad, but you have to think they’ll feed some extra pressure to give their country their first championship since the 1966 World Cup.

Why Italy Will Win the 2020 Euro
Many viewers weren’t sure what to expect from Italy heading into the Euros. Normally an international football powerhouse, Italy failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup. As a result, WynnBET had them set sixth on the odds list to win the Championship at the beginning of the Group Stage at +800.
They went on to prove that they were the superior team in every match they’ve competed in, as they were a perfect 5-0-0 heading into the semi-final against Spain in which they eventually won via penalty kicks.
The Italians' strength has come from their offense, as they enter the final second in the Championship in goals scored with 12, just one behind the current leader Spain at 13. They’ll need to keep their offense rolling against a strong England back line if they want to win their first European Championship since 1968.
The odds listed in this breakdown are available over at WynnBET.
