Betting on Germany’s Euro 2024 games

You can also place pregame and in-play bets on every game featuring Germany this summer. These are some popular soccer bets to consider:

Moneyline

This is a straightforward wager on the result of a game. For example, Germany is [metabet_core_dynamic_odds market=”moneyLine-home” query=”553946″ site_id=”legalsportsreport”] to beat Scotland in the opening game of the tournament.

Handicap (spread)

This can potentially be an attractive option when there is a clear favorite. For example, this is one of the handicap lines available for the first game of Euro 2024:

• Germany [metabet_core_dynamic_odds market=”spread-home” query=”553946″ site_id=”legalsportsreport”]
• Scotland [metabet_core_dynamic_odds market=”spread-away” query=”553946″ site_id=”legalsportsreport”]

Goal markets

These betting options do not require you to predict the result of a game. Examples include total goals (over/under), team totals (over/under), and both teams to score. A popular option among soccer fans is a bet on both teams to score and over 2.5 goals, but that is only suitable if you anticipate an open, high-scoring game.

Player props

You can bet on a player to score first, last, or at any time. If you want to dig deeper, wagers are available on a player to be booked, sent off, to score or miss a penalty, to score from outside the box, to score a header, and much more.

Germany’s potential path to victory

Germany qualified for this tournament automatically as the host nation. The Germans ended up in a pretty strong group, which also featured Switzerland, Hungary, and Scotland. However, they won Group A, so they faced Denmark in the Round of 16. It was a tight game, but Germany clinched a 2-0 win.

The Germans will now face Spain in the quarterfinals. La Roja defeated Italy and Croatia in the group stage before thrashing Georgia 4-1 in the Round of 16. A game between Germany and Spain will be exciting, as it represents a clash of styles. If Germany reaches the semifinals, it could face a showdown with France or Portugal, ahead of a final against potentially England, the Netherlands or Austria.

Germany group stage fixtures

Germany will play its group stage games in Munich, Stuttgart, and Frankfurt. The players will have strong home support in each city, and Germany is the favorite to win all three of its group stage matches.

Why Germany could win Euro 2024

The benefit of home advantage cannot be overlooked. Germany also has two superb young playmakers in Jamal Musiala and Florian Wirtz, plus elite talent at midfield and a reasonably solid defense. It has flopped at the last three major tournaments, but recent friendly wins against France and the Netherlands suggest it may have turned a corner after firing manager Hansi Flick and replacing him with Nagelsmann.

What could stop Germany from winning Euro 2024?

Germany’s recent record is dismal. It crashed out at the group stage at the 2018 and 2022 World Cups, and it suffered a comprehensive Round of 16 defeat to England at the last European Championship. The team is reliant on veterans like Gündogan and Kroos, and there is a danger that its midfield could be overrun against a more energetic opponent.

Key player: Kai Havertz

The Arsenal forward spearheaded Germany’s attack in recent victories over France and the Netherlands. Havertz is a mercurial player, who can veer from the sublime to the ridiculous. He is by no means a natural striker, but he can be very effective in the right system. If he is at his best this summer, Germany could be a force to be reckoned with.

How has Germany performed in past Euros?

Germany has reached the European Championship final on six previous occasions, with three wins and three defeats. It finished third in 2012 and 2016, but it lost in the Round of 16 at the last tournament.

Germany has released a 27-man roster ahead of friendlies against Ukraine and Greece. Below is a breakdown of the players who made the cut.
