Spain are the current favourites to retain their European Championship and cap off a brilliant era for the current side.

Spain are the current World and European champions who have a massive chance of keeping their European title. Spain are widely acknowledged as the team in Europe that plays the best football. Spain are sitting pretty in their qualification group and are a best price of 4/1 with Coral.

Germany are second favourites to lift the title at 5/1 in most places. The Germans are a well organised side that are difficult to break down and beat. Their performances in the last World Cup showed they have a maturing side that could be coming of age at the right moment.

The Netherlands are 7/1 across nearly the entire betting market. The Dutch have some of the best players in Europe and play some of the best attacking football in the world. The only thing that holds them up is a slightly suspect defence. Holland are one of the sides to keep an eye on.

England are next in the betting queue at 10/1 with Victor Chandler and Stan James. England are one of the more unpredictable sides because it seems as though they will sail through qualification but come unstuck when they play one of the bigger sides. Their 4-1 thrashing at the hands of Germany at the World Cup shows they have some distance left to go.

France are 12/1 outsiders now that a new manager has come in and all of the discontent seems to have settled down. The French are a good side but often let events off the field cloud everything that is going on out on the pitch. France won the title in 2000 and should be determined to get back those glory days.
