Euro 2024 is nearly upon us. The 24 international managers of the teams competing are formulating their preliminary squads before they name their official 26-man squads on the 7^th June.

As these squads are announced, punters will get a better idea of how strong each Euro 2024 team will be. This allows us to gaze into the crystal ball and try to predict how the group stage of the tournament will go.

So what we have done is precisely that, using the odds provided by bet365 Sport on which teams will win their group as a marker. We’ve simulated the group stage to come up with the teams we believe will make the Round of 16.

Remember, bet365 Sport is offering extensive Outright betting markets on the tournament and will be offering a massive choice of pre-match and In-Play betting options throughout Euro 2024.

So how will this summer’s European Championships in Germany unfold? We have given you our predictions for each of the six groups below.

But first, let’s clarify how we will get to the 16 teams required for the Round of 16, from the 24 originally starting the Finals on June 14^th.
