The Euro 2020 European Championship started with 24 teams, and we're down to 16 as the knockout stage begins Saturday. The odds have shifted slightly since the start of EUFA Euro Cup 2020, but France and England remain favorites to win. Some solid leading contenders remain including Italy, Germany, Spain and Belgium.

Italy was the most impressive team through the group stage, and they haven’t allowed a goal yet. Goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma has only been forced to make two saves all tournament long,

The quarterfinals are next weekend leading into the Fourth of July and then the semifinals are July 6-7 with the European Championship game July 12.

Television coverage in the U.S. is on ABC, ESPN and ESPN+

The competition format in the knockout phase is more dominated on France’s side of the bracket. The featured match is Belgium vs. Portugal on Monday, June 28. England vs. Germany on Tuesday from London is another tight match that will generate more interest and betting action.

Portugal won the 2016 European Championship over France. Belgium in No. 1 in the current FIFA Rankings, followed by current remaining teams France, England, Portugal, Spain and Italy.

The odds to reach the semifinals tell the story of the strength of the bracket, as the Netherlands are -110 to reach the semi’s as the favorite, yet there are five teams with lower odds to win the Euro title.
