I can't believe it how come Italy is the winner last EURO edition is not favorite for winning EURO 2024? seems crazy with this odds predicting because Italy success defeated England in final last EURO 2020 is not favorite team? however not qualify in World Cup 2022 its not comparison why Italy have bigger odds or not favorite in EURO 2024. I think beside Germany as host keep believing with magician from Italy success back to back winning EURO.

I would agree with this argument. Italy may not be as strong as France (or even England, despite the fact that they destroyed England during the finals of Euro 2020). But there is no way Italy can be placed so much below teams like Germany. I guess a lot of people tend to ignore Italy, since they were not there in Qatar 2022. Italy has remained out of spotlight for some time. I would say that Italy is one of the favorites to win Euro Cup this time and they have a good team balance and team bonding unlike some of the other top teams in this competition.

I don't agree that Italy is one of the favorites for winning the title. France, Spain and England definitely have much more chances to win the title. Italian league may be one of the best European leagues, but their national team is not what it was. They may have won the title in 2020, but that was three years ago and things are completely different now. England beat them in Italy last month in the qualifications. You can't say that Italy is a better team than England just because they won a game three years ago.

@tazmantasik Italy’s form went down the drain and if you see their last few matches their performance was really bad, hence I’m not at all surprised to see those odds for them. Also for me France and England are the obvious favourites, but as I have seen in the past that the favourites don’t always win so there’s yet hope for Italy to win and impress us like they used to do in the past.
