Euro 2020 Odds Group F Tips, Odds, Predictions

Group F is probably the toughest group to predict of them all as World Champions France, current European Championship holders Portugal on 2014 World Cup winners Germany will all go head-to-head, with Hungary being the outsiders, having qualified for the competition for just the second time since 1972, with the other occasion being in 2016.

France are the favourites to win Euro 2020 at 9/2, but, rather strangely, they are the second favourites at 13/8 to top this group, as Germany, who have recently been beaten 6-0 and 2-1 to both Spain and North Macedonia have the odds of 11/8. The reasoning behind this thought process from the bookmakers will likely be the fact that Die Mannschaft will play all three of their matches in Munich at the Allianz Arena.

Regardless, Didier Deschamps side should still top the group, as they are the best team in the world on paper when taking into account the squad that they have at their disposal, with stars such as Raphael Varane, N’golo Kante, Paul Pogba, Antoine Griezmann, Kylian Mbappe and the recently recalled Karim Benzema.

Having gone all the way to the final of Euro 2016 on home soil and fallen short in the final to Portugal, France will be desperate to go one step further this time out and this will require a good start from the World Champions, hence why they are 13/8 to top the group.

Second and third place in Group F should on paper be settled between Germany and Portugal, with the latter being priced at 1/5 compared to Germany’s 1/12, which again, is probably due to them playing all three of their fixtures on home territory.

Since winning Euro 2016, Portugal’s squad has significantly improved, with the emergence of talents such as Bernardo Silva, Bruno Fernandes, Joao Felix, Pedro Goncalves, Ruben Dias and Joao Cancelo all coming into the fray. Portugal are in a good vein of form when it comes to winning trophies too, as they won the inaugural Nations League in 2019, thanks to Goncalo Guedes’ 60th-minute strike against the Netherlands in the final.

Germany have been a side in turmoil since the last Euros, as they were dumped out of the 2018 World Cup in humiliating fashion at the group stages, finishing bottom of a group consisting of Mexico, South Korea and Sweden. Of late, as mentioned above, they were recently thumped 6-0 by Spain and lost 2-1 at home to North Macedonia, their first loss in a World Cup qualifier since 2001.

Low has recalled some experienced players for the Euros in Mats Hummels and Thomas Muller, which may see the latter play up front, as Germany lack a clinical striker in Timo Werner, whilst Portugal have a determined Cristiano Ronaldo who said that the 2022 World Cup in Qatar will be his last tournament, meaning that this will be his last Euros at 36-years-old.

A France-Portugal one-two is priced at 5/1, whilst a France-Germany one-two has the odds of 10/3 to happen. Portugal are priced at 11/4 to win the group.

If the World Champions aren’t on quite on song then we could see the unlikely circumstance of France finishing in third place behind Portugal and Germany, as this group will be unforgiving to any errors that are made, due to the quality of players in each opposing side.

Germany to win the group with Portugal as runner up is priced at 4/1, whilst it the odds are 6/1 for it to happen the other way around.

Low’s side are priced at 11/1 to repeat the same feat they did at the last World Cup where they finished as bottom of the group, however, this would likely require Hungary to pull a rabbit out of the hat against them which does look highly unlikely due to the strength that the Germans have squad wise.

If Hungary are to pull off one of the biggest shocks in European Championship history and to progress from the group, then it will likely take a monumental effort alike Costa Rica at the 2014 World Cup, when they finished top of a group which contained England, Uruguay and Italy.

Marco Rossi’s side will be heavily hampered in terms of selection, as Dominik Szoboszlai has been ruled out of the Euros, meaning that they will have to rely on experienced professionals such as Szoboszlai’s RB Leipzig teammates Peter Gulacsi and Willi Orban, as well as Mainz 05’s Adam Szalai to guide them through a hectic group.

Hungary are priced at 9/2 to qualify from Group F.

The opening round of fixtures in this group takes place on Tuesday 15th June, as Hungary face Portugal and are priced at 5/1 to beat the current holders, which shows dominant the bookies expect Portugal to be, whilst France take on Germany later on in the evening in a match which France are slight favourites to win at 8/5.

19th June sees France take their turn of taking on Hungary, of which they are priced at 4/11 to win, whilst Portugal face Germany in what will be an intense match, hence why the odds are at 4/5 for under 2.5 goals.

The final round of fixtures in Group F on 23rd June will likely be make or break for each team, as Germany take on Hungary and are priced at 2/9 to beat the Magyars, whilst Portugal face France, with the latter being priced at 4/1 to win with both teams to score.
