EURO Cup Qualifiers Odds and Betting Lines

Overview

The European Championship, also known as EURO or EURO Cup, is considered one of the best national team tournaments in the world. In fact, soccer analysts often compare it to the World Cup.

Unlike the Copa America, in which all teams associated with the CONMEBOL get to play in the tournament, the EURO is only played by the best 24 teams in the continent. That’s why the qualifiers are needed, because there are 55 teams associated with UEFA.

No other team has played more EURO Cup Qualifiers than Spain with 17. La Roja managed to qualify 11 times. On the other hand, no other team has more appearances in the finals than Germany with 14. In other words, those are two teams you’ll definitely want to consider for your EURO Cup Qualifiers betting ticket. Finally, 20 teams have never been able to qualify. Malta leads the way with 15 failed attempts.

How the Tournament Works

First of all, keep in mind that the EURO Cup is played every four years, meaning the qualifiers are played every two years, more or less.

The format is pretty simple. For the 2024 edition, which will be held in Germany, there are 10 groups in the EURO Cup Qualifiers. Some groups of five teams, some groups of six teams. The draw is based on the UEFA coefficient.

Each team faces the other four or five twice, one at home, one on the road. A victory means three points, while a draw means one point for each team. Losing means zero points. The winners and runners-up of each group automatically qualifies for the tournament finals. Unlike other soccer tournaments, finishing last has no repercussions.

Keep in mind that the host team gets an automatic spot, leaving only three more up for grabs. This is where the UEFA Nations League comes into play. The top three divisions of the 2022-23 UNL will form play-off brackets to determine three more finalists. As expected, any team that’s already qualified won’t participate in the brackets.

There’s no doubt that the powerhouses like Spain, Germany, Italy, England, Netherlands and France will always offer good EURO Cup Qualifiers odds. However, there will always be surprises, like on the road to the 2020 edition, in which Ukraine finished atop Group B, three points ahead of Portugal.

With the EURO Cup Qualifiers Outrights, you can pick which team is going to win each group. You can also bet on which teams are going to qualify for the finals. That being said, it’s very important for you to keep track of recent results, injury reports, coaching staff changers and the latest soccer news.

And that’s not all. At BetUS we also have EURO Cup Qualifiers lines for each match, meaning you can pick a straight up winner or if the total is going over or under. There’s also the handicap, which gives a team some advantage. For example, if Sweden is facing Germany, and Sweden is +1, that basically means that they begin the match winning 1-0. Germany must win by at least two goals to cover. Why? Because if Germany wins 2-1, that +1 makes it 2-2.

Finally, we also have prop bets, which gives you even more chances to win. Prop bets allow you to bet on things that have nothing to do with the result of the match, like how many yellow cards or corners there will be. You can also bet on which team will score first or which player will score at any time, to name a few. The possibilities are pretty much endless!
