Euro 2024 Group C best bet
Straight forecast — 1. England, 2. Slovenia (+580 at Betano)
England come into this tournament as favorites and they certainly deserve to be in the conversation given their recent tournament performances and the depth of quality in their team. For all the criticism that Gareth Southgate gets, it can’t be underestimated how efficient this team has become at qualifying from their groups under him.
So with England likely to win the group, who finishes second and Slovenia offer great value here. It’s Denmark who are most likely according to the sportsbooks but they finished level on points with Slovenia in their qualifying group and this Slovenian team is a lot better than people expect and they’re going to surprise people this summer.

Euro 2024 Group C team previews
England (-270 to win group)
There’s not much we can really say about England at this point. They’re stacked with talent and arguably have the best squad in the tournament. They have solid tournament experience, despite not winning one since 1966. The team is packed with winners, players who have won under Pep Guardiola at Man City, with England at the youth level, or in Jude Bellingham’s case, a La Liga and Champions League double this season.
They have a world-class striker in Harry Kane, a multitude of incredible attackers around him in Phil Foden, Cole Palmer, and Bukayo Saka, and a strong midfield with Jude Bellingham and Declan Rice. The issue however is at the back, particularly at left-back with doubts over that position heading into the tournament.
Denmark (+460 to win group)
Denmark reached this tournament by topping their qualifying group thanks to their superior head-to-head record over Slovenia. They only lost two games in qualifying and will be desperate to right the wrongs of their dismal campaign at the World Cup in 2022.
They reached the semi-finals of the last Euros before being beaten by this year’s groupmates England but then picked up just a single point as they got eliminated from their group in Qatar. That team is another year older and the question is whether the young players like Rasmus Hojlund can make up for the fact players like veterans like Christian Eriksen and Thomas Delaney aren’t the players they previously were.
Serbia (+660 to win group)
Every time Serbia are in a tournament they are talked up as a dark horse and it’s no different this year. That said, they aren’t as well balanced as they have been in previous years. They reached the tournament after finishing second in their qualifying group behind Hungary but they won just four games, which is a concern.
You can’t talk about Serbia without talking about their strikeforce and in Dusan Vlahovic and Aleksandar Mitrovic they have a pair who will frighten every defense in the tournament. The biggest issue is what’s behind them. Their midfield has some solid players, of which Sergej Milinkovic Savic is the standout, but their depth at defense and goalkeeper is very poor. There’s also the fact that Mitrovic and Milinkovic Savic have been playing in Saudi Arabia to consider, are they really going to be at their sharpest given the quality levels in that league?
Slovenia (+1,450 to win group)
Now Slovenia, that’s a team that deserves the dark horse tag. They’re the underdogs in this group, playing in only their second European Championships and people are expecting them to lose every game. However, there are plenty of reasons to think that won’t be the case. They may have finished second to Denmark in qualifying but that was down to head-to-head record and they had a superior goal difference to the Danes.
They’re not stacked with great talents but they have one of the world’s brightest young goalscoring talents, Benjamin Šeško (more on him later), and most importantly they have Jan Oblak. The 31-year-old Atletico Madrid goalkeeper is one of the best on the planet and with him behind a defense that is happy to sit back, they’re going to be hard to break down.
Euro 2024 Group C players to watch
Phil Foden (England/Man City)
It’s hard to pick a player to watch for England but we’re going for Phil Foden over Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham. Despite winning six Premier League titles, two FA Cups, and a Champions League, the 24-year-old hasn’t yet really shone in England colors. That should change here after a 24-goal and 11-assist club season that has underlined his status as one of England’s key players.
Foden — UEFA Player of the Tournament (+1,200 at Betano)
Dusan Vlahovic (Serbia/Juventus)
Serbia’s hopes rely on their striking duo and Dusano Vlahovic is the man to watch. He was outscored by Mitrovic in qualifying but the Juventus man has looked fearsome at times this season for his club side. He scored 16 times in Serie A this season and given the quality of his finishing he will scare any defender.
Vlahovic — To score 2+ goals (+125 at Betano)
Benjamin Sesko (Slovenia/RB Leipzig)
Over the past few weeks, we’ve seen RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Šeško linked with the bigger clubs in Europe and it’s no surprise. He’s been heralded as an exciting prospect since arriving at Salzburg. He’s just turned 21 and scored 14 Bundesliga goals, despite only establishing himself as a starter in the second half of the season. He’s incredibly tall, and strong but also deceptively quick. Mix that up with his finishing ability and this is a player who could announce himself to the world this summer.
Sesko — UEFA Young Player of the Tournament (+3,900 at Betano)
