England will continue its Euro 2024 campaign as a +160 favorite to beat the Netherlands in the semifinals. The Three Lions are the second favorites to win this tournament. However, their performances have been underwhelming so far, and they were a little fortunate to beat Slovakia in the Round of 16 and Switzerland in the quarterfinals.

The English have a great deal of attacking talent on their squad, including Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham, and Bukayo Saka. However, they have struggled to keep clean sheets at the 2024 Euros, so they will need to improve against unbeaten a dangerous Dutch team, which knocked out Turkey in the last round.

How to bet on England at Euro 2024

There are lots of ways to wager on England for those considering how to bet on soccer this summer. You can place futures bets, which run throughout the tournament. Sportsbooks will also offer hundreds of betting options on every game featuring England. These are some of the key wagers:

Stage of elimination

Predict when (or if) England will crash out of the tournament. These were the opening soccer odds and options at bet365:

• Group stage (+1200)
• Round of 16 (+400)
• Quarterfinals (+350)
• Semifinals (+300)
• Runner-up (+450)
• Winner (+333)

Top goalscorer

Captain Harry Kane will spearhead the Three Lions’ attack in Germany this summer. He was the top goalscorer at the 2018 World Cup, so he knows how to find the back of the net at major tournaments. You can bet on him winning the Golden Boot at Euro 2024, but he faces competition from the likes of Kylian Mbappé and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Moneyline

A simple bet on England to win a game. For example, the Three Lions have odds of [metabet_core_dynamic_odds market=”moneyLine-away” query=”553950″ site_id=”legalsportsreport”] to beat Serbia in their opening match. Alternative options include the following:

• Draw no bet: A two-way moneyline; it’s a push if the game ends in a draw (tie).
• Correct score: This option allows you to predict the final score of a game, such as England to win 1-0 at +650, a 1-1 draw at +700, and so on.
• Win to nil: A bet on England to win a game and not concede a goal.
• Same-game parlay: Combine two or more picks to create a single wager with longer cumulative odds, such as England to win and Kane to score or England to win and under 3.5 goals.

Handicap (spread)

You can predict which team will cover the spread with one of the sides having a handicap. Here is an example:

• England [metabet_core_dynamic_odds market=”spread-away” query=”553950″ site_id=”legalsportsreport”]
• Serbia [metabet_core_dynamic_odds market=”spread-home” query=”553950″ site_id=”legalsportsreport”]

There will be lots of alternative handicaps, too, such as England -1, England -1.25, and England -1.75.

Goal markets

These bets do not focus on the specific outcome of the game. Options include total goals (over/under) and both teams to score (yes/no).

Props

You can bet on a specific English player to score the first or the last goal in a game or to score at any time. Alternative player props include to score two or more goals, to score a hat trick, to score a free kick, to score or miss a penalty, or to be sent off. There are also team props and game props, such as total corners (over/under) and the highest scoring half.

England live betting

You can place in-play bets on every game involving England at this tournament. Live betting will begin immediately after the first whistle. Markets such as the moneyline, handicaps, and props will receive updates throughout the game to reflect the score. You will also find additional live betting options, such as the next team to score or whether a corner will be awarded in the next five minutes.

England’s potential path to victory

England got the better of group rivals Denmark, Serbia, and Slovenia, and it faced Slovakia in the Round of 16. The Three Lions were on the brink of elimination, but Jude Bellingham scored a 95th-minute overhead kick to force extra time. Harry Kane scored in extra time to hand them a 2-1 win.

They then faced Switzerland in the quarterfinals. It finished 1-1 after extra-time, but England held their nerve in the penalty shootout. The Three Lions will now face the Netherlands in the semifinals. If they win, they will go up against either Spain or France in Sunday’s final.

England group stage fixtures

England’s group stage games will take place during an intense 10-day period in June. These are the fixtures that the team must navigate:

• Serbia vs. England (3 p.m. ET on June 16)
• Denmark vs. England (12 p.m. ET on June 20)
• England vs. Slovenia (3 p.m. ET on June 25)

Why England could win Euro 2024

England is currently No. 3 in the FIFA world rankings after delivering a series of impressive performances in recent years. The team came within a whisker of winning the last European Championship, only to lose on penalties in the final against Italy. Key players have improved since then, including Phil Foden, Declan Rice, and Bukayo Saka. England has a formidable attacking unit, and it heads into this tournament as the sportsbooks’ favorite to lift the trophy.

What could stop England from winning Euro 2024?

Defensive shortcomings, a lack of depth in attack, and negative tactics could cause England to come unstuck. The Three Lions are heavily reliant on Kane, and they could struggle if he is injured. Central defense is a weak point, as manager Gareth Southgate is still reliant on the much-maligned Harry Maguire. He often tries to compensate by adopting cautious tactics, regularly fielding a back-five and two holding midfielders, and that could also hold England back.

Key player: Jude Bellingham

The 20-year-old midfielder has been a revelation since joining Real Madrid last summer. He is arguably the best player in the world right now, and he could be a game-changer for England at Euro 2024.

How has England performed in past Euros?

England has never won the European Championship, despite coming close on a few previous occasions. It has lost several big games on penalties, so the players may need to sharpen their skills in that department if they are to finally end their 58-year trophy drought this summer.
