England odds to win Euro 2024: Can Gareth Southgate finally lead the Three Lions to glory?

Fifty-eight years of hurt never stopped them dreaming. England are all but assured of their spot at Euro 2024 after an impressive start to qualifying that included a 2-1 win over Italy in Naples.

The Azzurri were responsible for the Three Lions' most acute instance of heartache over recent years when they prevailed on penalties to silence Wembley in the final of Euro 2020.

That run to the final built upon a semifinal appearance at the 2018 World Cup, where little was expected of Gareth Southgate's side.

The same cannot be said now and, after their 2022 World Cup campaign was ended by finalists France at the quarterfinal stage, England will be backed to make serious inroads when next summer's tournament gets underway in Germany.

Southgate now boasts an enviable array of young talent with their best years ahead of them. Jude Bellingham, Phil Foden and Bukayo Saka are among those who should have long and successful international careers, while the country's all-time leading goalscorer Harry Kane is enjoying a new lease of life at Bayern Munich.

The squad is far from flawless, with questionable depth at centre-back and in defensive midfield. Goalkeeper Jordan Pickford often invites questions over his big-match temperament, although he has rarely let his country down as a mainstay of the Southgate era.

So, almost six decades on from Bobby Moore triumphantly hoisting the Jules Rimet trophy, are England's men poised to deliver a success that a nation has long desired?

Kane was left devastated when he blazed his second penalty of the match over and England lost 2-1 to France at the Qatar World Cup.

Didier Deschamps' side and England are currently considered the joint-favourites for Euro 2024.

Hosts Germany remain a short price despite dismissing head coach Hansi Flick on the back of a 4-1 friendly defeat to Japan.

Portugal are romping through qualifying under Roberto Martinez and are placed joint-third in the betting alongside Iberian neighbours Spain.

If you're feeling optimistic about England's chances and believe the Three Lions will only go from strength to strength, you can get a price of 25/1, through bet365 via BetOnSports, for them to win Euro 2024 and the 2026 World Cup.

Back-to-back tournament wins are rare but something that the defining sides of their eras can pull off.

France followed success on home turf at the 1998 World Cup with Euro 2000 glory, while Spain's Euro 2008 win set off a golden run as they also lifted the 2010 World Cup and Euro 2012.

Lionel Messi's defining triumph in Qatar came on the back of Argentina ending his long wait for a major international honour at the 2021 Copa America.
