Euro 2016 Odds

Euro 2016 odds list France as +325 co-favourites with Germany, and the French were fortunate enough to get set up with a weak group that includes Romania, Albania and Switzerland. France is set as a -298 favourite to win the group and is expected to make a deep run in the tournament.

“We know France at home are a very strong team with good players,” Germany star Mesut Ozil told reporters. “We know it won’t be easy to play against them but we also played against Brazil in Brazil.

“The home teams always have the fans behind them and have extra power and potential with themselves but as Germany as a national team we’re prepared to play against anyone in the world.”

Meanwhile, Germany is set as a -291 favourite to win Group C, ahead of Poland, Ukraine and Northern Ireland.
