Euro 2024 Final betting trends Bet Builder
The big question on everybody’s mind is whether England can end their 58-year wait for a major international trophy, or whether Spain will pick up their fourth in the past 16 years.
Spain are marginal favourites to take the trophy back to Madrid, but since odds were first recorded in Euro 2004, the pre-match underdog has lifted the trophy in three of the five tournaments.
Don’t get too excited, though. The two tournaments in which the favourite lived up to expectations – Euro 2008 and Euro 2012 – were both won by La Roja.
Cup finals can often be cagey affairs, and the European Championship is no exception.
Since the inaugural event in 1960, European Championship finals have averaged just 2.19 goals per game, and that has decreased further in the modern age.
The six finals since the turn of the millennium have yielded just ten goals in total, while nine of the last ten finals have produced fewer than three goals.
Interestingly, exactly two goals have been scored in half of all European Championship finals and the game has ended 1-1 after 90 minutes on five occasions.
Another two draws – a goalless draw in Euro 2016 and a 2-2 affair in 1976 – mean that seven of the 16 finals have gone to extra-time, although only two have been settled by a penalty shootout.
With Euro 2024 matches averaging 2.28 goals per game and the Three Lions drawing four of their six outings, could we be in line for another jaunt into extra-time?
Based on previous finals, you could do worse than backing England to lift the trophy after a low-scoring game taken beyond the 90 minutes.
