The UEFA Euro 2020 has already begun, and with that, numerous bettors are excited to get back into the game during June and the first two weeks of July, as the competition was scheduled to begin on June 11 and will finish on July 11. The championship was first postponed as the COVID-19 pandemic became the strongest during the first trimester of 2020. Also, despite being celebrated in 2021, it still has “2020” in the name.
Eleven selected cities from all of Europe have been chosen as “hosts” for the matches where twenty-four teams will be disputing for the trophy. As for the final, it is scheduled to happen on July 11, at the Wembley Stadium.
Every year, determined players are awarded at the end of the championship due to their outstanding performance. Although there is another category of betting for the “top goalscorer,” there is a “higher” option that refers to the player of the tournament.
There are categories that refer to a specific individual or team that is likely to “outstand” somehow by the end of the season.
Some of these categories include the outright winner, which consists in “selecting” the team whom is likely to win the whole tournament; or the top goalscorer, which refers to the player that scores the most goals by the end of the tournament. These players are announced by the UEFA by the end of the season along with the Best Player of the Tournament title, and are awarded the Golden, Silver and Bronze Boots.
Betting for the Best Player of the Tournament means you’ll be placing your wager on the player who is most likely to have the best performance throughout the season. According to the EURO2020 portal, Karim Benzema from France is very likely to receive the title. Curiously enough, multiple sportsbooks also have another French player, Kylian Mbappé, as the top goalscorer of the season.
Still, as both bet types (best player of the tournament and top goalscorer) are hugely similar, it is also likely that players like Kevin De Bruyne (from Belgium) may receive the title as well. On the other hand, Mbappé is another strong candidate.
Let’s not forget that De Bruyne is currently recovering from the facial injury he received during a match not long ago. However, he is scheduled to rejoin the French team by the weekend.
There are multiple things you should be aware of while the season is still ongoing. As the teams are being paired and the tournament is still ongoing, some sportsbooks have already made possible to bet for those whom are most likely to receive the title by the end of the competition.
You will see some of the names mentioned above in most sportsbooks, as they seem to be the most outstanding players overall. However, please keep in mind that the top five favorite countries for the Euro 2020 include France, England, Belgium, Portugal, Germany and Italy.
