Make euros from the Euros: 7 bets that caught our eye

JOE

It’s almost time for the EUROS to kick-off and we couldn’t be more excited.

Ireland may be in the group of death, but we’ve never been afraid of long odds before.

Speaking of odds, if you haven’t put on your football bets yet, there is still time.

We’ve combined with Ladbrokes, to bring you some great bets that caught our eye.

Austria to win it 40/1

‘Doing a Leicester’ has joined ‘a match of two halves’ and ‘taking it game by game’ at the very top of the football cliché pyrimad.

Nonetheless, there is no doubting that this year has been the year of the underdog. Out of all the teams who could possibly cause an upset, we reckon David Alaba’s Austria are top of the list. They’re 40/1 to do it.

Ireland to win their group 10/1

Belgium have a habit of flattering to deceive, Italy aren’t what they used to be and Sweden… well, they’re just Zlatan.

Stranger things have happened, haven’t they?

Shane Long – tournament top scorer 150/1 

We’re going to need someone to score all the goals when we’re winning our group…

France v Spain final 12/1

France have a fantastic record when the tournament is held on home soil and as for Spain… well, they’re Spain.

Antoine Griezmann topscorer 9/1

OK, we’ll face facts. Shane Long may just be pipped for top-scorer. The smart money is on Griezmann, a player who has gone from strength to strength in recent seasons.

France’s group looks a walk in the park and we reckon he’ll pop in a few goals which will see them saunter into the second round.

England to win all their group games 9/2

The Three Lions were fantastic throughout their qualifying campaign and if Roy’s boys can keep that sort of form up, they’ll surely have enough to take 9 points from their three group games.

Albania to be the lowest scoring team 11/2

How many great Albanian footballers can you name? Exactly.

AND HERE’s a bonus, because we’re feeling generous! 

Dele Alli player of the tournament 25/1

If England go far in the Euros, this man will have played a massive part.

Alli is as exciting a talent they’ve seen in a while and could have a massive say during this tournament.
