Euro 2024 knockout round prediction: Surprise candidate number 1

According to the prediction of the supercomputer Opta, the England team is still the number one candidate for the Euro 2024 championship, despite the extremely disappointing performance of coach Southgate's team in the group stage of this year's tournament.

Accordingly, the chance for the Three Lions to win the Euro 2024 championship is still 20%. The chance for them to pass the round of 16 is 81.6%. In the upcoming round, the England team only has to face a not-so-strong opponent, Slovakia. In addition to falling into a not-so-difficult bracket, they are highly rated in terms of the ability to reach the semi-finals (55.7%), reach the final (38.1%), and win the championship (20%).

The second favorite to win Euro 2024 is Spain, the only team to have won all three of their group stage matches. La Roja have a 17.2% chance of winning the tournament. The Spanish team is the favorite to advance to the round of 16, with 82.1%. Their next opponent is Georgia. Spain won their two Euro 2024 qualifiers against Georgia, winning 7-1 and 3-1.

Third on the list is host Germany. Coach Julian Nagelsmann's team has a 15.8% chance of winning the championship. Germany's chance of passing the round of 16 is 69.5%. This is quite a low rate compared to other candidates when they have to face a tough opponent like Denmark.

France have a 13.4% chance of winning the tournament and a 67.9% chance of beating Belgium in the round of 16 to reach the quarter-finals. Belgium's poor performance in the group stage is a big chance for France to win. According to analysis by the supercomputer Opta, Belgium is ranked 9th on this list with a 2.3% chance of winning the tournament.

Portugal are fifth with an 8.3% chance of winning the tournament. The European Selecao are the third most likely team to advance to the round of 16 (behind Spain and England) with 74.5%. They will face Slovenia in their next match.

The team rated the lowest in the round of 16 is Georgia. They have only a 0.3% chance of winning the championship and a 17.9% chance of getting past the round of 16. Facing Spain is too big an obstacle for Georgia.
