Euro 2024 is swiftly approaching, and it stands out as one of the biggest tournaments of its kind, with Germany being the sole host nation for this edition.
The group-stage arrangements have been known since December's draw, and the last three qualifying nations were determined after the playoffs concluded in March.
This upcoming tournament marks the 17th edition of the Euros. Throughout its history, Spain and Germany have been the most successful teams, each clinching the title thrice.
Italy emerged victorious in the previous edition, securing their second European Championship by defeating England in a dramatic penalty shootout in 2021 — a tournament delayed by a year due to COVID-19.
For those eagerly eyeing this year's event, The Sporting News has an early assessment of each team's odds of triumphing and the best bets for Euro 2024.
