The group stage of UEFA Euro 2024 is over and the field has been trimmed from 24 nations to 16 with the knockout rounds beginning Saturday at noon ET with Italy vs. Switzerland. The Italians are the defending champions of Europe but they only earned their way into the Round of 16 via a stoppage time goal in their final group-stage match against Albania. Italy have been boom or bust in world football in recent years, failing to qualify for the World Cup in 2018 and 2022 despite earning continental glory in 2020.
Now Italy is priced at +1600 in the UEFA Euro 2024 odds. England were the runner-up in 2020 and they're the +350 favorites after topping Group C, which included Denmark, Serbia and Slovenia. Meanwhile, the Germans are hosting Euro 2024 and they're priced at +550 after winning Group A.

Top UEFA Euro 2024 predictions
Sutton is fading England, even though the Three Lions are the +350 favorites. The English topped Group C but only scored two goals over three matches and drew against Denmark and Slovenia. It was far from the dominant performance that many envisioned and the lack of creativity going forward was jarring.
The Three Lions have a roster loaded with some of the top stars in club football but captain Harry Kane is the only player on the roster that has scored more than 11 goals internationally. The English national team hasn't won a major tournament since the 1966 World Cup was played on home soil despite regularly being considered one of the top teams in world soccer and Sutton thinks they have a tough draw.
"A rematch with Italy could be on the horizon in the quarterfinals," Sutton told SportsLine. "Italy beat England to claim their second European Championship in 2020 (played in 2021 because of COVID-19), and I think we could see a similar result in 2024."
