The 2013 Under-21 European Championships are taking place between the 5th and 18th June in Israel with the final taking place in Jerusalem. Our odds comparison tool has all the latest betting odds for what should be a thrilling fortnight of football as tomorrow’s superstars battle it out for an early taste of glory.
All the big guns are there, with Stuart Pearce’s England side fancied by many at betting odds of 7/1 with Bwin. They will come into the competition on a nine-game winning streak and, with the passion and tournament know-how of the boss, England will definitely have a fighting chance of going one better than 2009 when they lost in the final against Germany.
The Germans will not be in the same group as England and can be backed at odds of 4/1 with Gamebookers, although making it out of their group will be tough. They are drawn alongside defending champions Spain, who are sure to attract plenty of bets at odds of just 3/1 with Bwin and others, with the Netherlands and Russia completing a very tough group.
It is a little easier for England though, who will fancy they have a decent chance of progression to the semi-finals having been draw with hosts Israel, Norway and Italy in Group A.
Betting on these tournaments is never easy and there is unlikely to be much between the top six teams. Spain are worthy favourites but at more attractive odds the Netherlands could well spring a surprise with their strength in depth a real plus for them. Betting odds of around 6/1 make them well worth a bet… if they can make it out of the group of death that is.
