France Euro 2020 Tips and Betting Odds
Welcome to BettingOdds.com's Euro 2020 profile series, where we'll be counting down to next summer's tournament with an in-depth look a the betting opportunities for each of the countries involved.
France to make it back-to-back major international tournament wins?
After enjoying a memorable few years at major international tournaments, France will head into next summer's European Championships full of confidence in their ability to win the tournament. Les Bleus are regular features in the final stages of both the Euro's and the World Cup, winning the latter in 2018 after defeating Croatia in the final.
They came to within touching distance of winning their first European Championship since 2000 four years ago but were beaten by Portugal in extra-time thanks to a long-range strike from Eder. At 6/1 to go the whole hog at Euro 2020, Didier Deschamps' side could be a good bet given the amount of quality they have pulsating through their squad; with the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Antoine Griezmann and N'Golo Kante all possessing the ability to win tournaments like these almost individually.

France's outright odds at Euro 2020
France's odds in the Euro 2020 winner betting market are currently 6/1, though that price may change from now until the tournament begins depending on how they fare in their upcoming Nations League campaign.
The two-time world champions were typically emphatic throughout qualifying, finishing top of their group after winning eight and drawing one (losing one) of their 10 games. It must be said, though, that their group was not the strongest - with Turkey, Iceland, Albania, Moldova and Andorra their opponents throughout qualifying so you would have expected them to have made fairly light work of it.
Since the Nations League resumed at the start of September, France have hit the ground running with two wins from two against Sweden (1-0) and Croatia (4-2). They are a side in form and partnered with their history at major international tournaments, and the squad depth they have available you have to feel confident in their ability to go the distance at Euro 2020 next summer.
Games against reigning European champions Portugal, Croatia and Sweden approaching before the end of 2020 will provide France with more opportunities to build momentum ahead of next year's competition, with the results of each of those matches having the potential to either increase or decrease their outright odds so keep a close eye on the market.
