Belgium to finish 1st & Denmark to finish 2nd in Group B (Dual Forecast) - @ 11/5 Paddy Power
Only England and France are priced shorter than Belgium to lift the trophy at this summer's tournament who can be backed at 13/2. We expect the Red Devils to top Group B and when you look at their quality they have throughout the team with players such as Kevin De Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku, it's easy to see why. Belgium should breeze past Finland and Russia and we expect their lead striker Lukaku to bag a good few goals in the group stage.
Denmark were priced as big as 66/1 at the turn of the year and have been backed into as short as 22/1 with a few firms. The Danes have a talented crop at the moment with plenty of Premier League experience from Kasper Schmeichel, Pierre Hojbjerg, Christian Eriksen and Andreas Christensen. Denmark play Finland in their opening group and we think a win here will be a springboard to go on and get the victory over Russia which would ensure them a place in the Round of 16. At 11/5, Belgium to finish first and Denmark to finish second looks the correct play for Group B.
