Last Updated on 16/08/2025 by Andy Clark

Euro 2020 is almost at our doorstep and we couldn’t be more excited about it. There are a lot of fantastic matches that are waiting and fans are eager to get back in the stadiums and support their respective national teams on every game. Group A is one of the most competitive groups in the whole tournament as it consists of a few teams that are currently in their best form. We are going to share a few words on each of the teams in this group and take a look at their chances of winning this prestigious tournament. Let’s dive into the details.  

Euro 2020 Group A Betting Tips

 

Euro 2020 Group A Teams

• Turkey
• Italy
• Wales
• Switzerland

 

Turkey

While some may have considered Turkey an outsider up until recently, this team has been in phenomenal form recently. In their last 5 games in all competitions, they have managed to win 3 matches against Norway, Russia, and the Netherlands, who by the way, are among the top 10 challengers in the whole competition. Their first game in Euro 2020 will be against Italy on 11^th June. Bookmakers’ odds of Turkey finishing at the top of Group A are 9/2, while their odds of winning the Euro 2020 are 50/1. Some of the players in this team that you should keep an eye out for are the 23-year old Enes Ünal, Bünyamin Balcı, and of course, Milan’s own Hakan Çalhanoğlu. Additionally, Burak Yılmaz will likely be their key player. Even though he is way past his prime, the 35-year old is showing that he still has the fire and will capitalize on every given situation.

Italy

Italy is the biggest favourites and currently, they are the best team in Group A. In their past 10 games in all competitions, Gli Azzuri have managed to come out on top 8 times and had 2 draws. It is safe to say that their current form is near-perfect and they will likely put on a massive show. Bookmakers expect them to finish at the top of Group A, which is why their odds are the lowest – 8/13. Additionally, the Italian national team is in the top 10 contenders to win the Euro 2020 and their current odds of achieving that milestone are 11/1.

Wales

Next up, we have Wales, or as Gareth Bale jokingly once confirmed – ‘Wales, golf, Madrid. In that order’. Even though they do have a plethora of quality players including Bale, Joe Rodon, Daniel James, and Wayne Hennessey, along with Wales’ manager – the legendary Ryan Giggs, this team is actually the biggest underdog in the whole group. The starting odds that bookmakers gave Wales of finishing first in Group A are 7/1, while their odds of winning Euro 2020 are set at 200/1, which are quite mesmerizing for fans that want to try out their luck and bet on them. However, in their last 5 games in all competitions, Wales have just lost against Belgium and that is why they are capable of shocking the rest of the teams in the group.

Switzerland

Our last entry in this article is Switzerland. Granit Xhaka, Xherdan Shaqiri, Ricardo Rodriguez, and Haris Seferovic are just a few of the outstanding players that are part of this team and they are not just looking to qualify for the elimination rounds, they are there to take over and win the Euro 2020. When it comes to finishing first in Group A, bookmakers’ odds for Switzerland are currently set at 9/2, which makes Switzerland tied with Turkey, while their odds of winning Euro 2020 are 66/1. In their last 5 competitive matches across all tournaments, Switzerland won 3, lost 1, and drew 1.

Group A Betting Guide

As you can see, all of the teams in Group A have been on a fantastic recent roll. They have managed to maintain a pretty good form and that is what makes this group extremely unpredictable, which is fantastic. The more unpredictable it is, the more entertaining and competitive the matches will be. Although Italy is the clear favourite to win Group A, you cannot rule out any of the other teams in this group. That does not just apply to the final table standings, that also applies to the 2020 European Championships in general. Realistically looking, all four teams have pretty solid chances of winning this prestigious tournament, which is why they are all worth a watch. Regardless of who ends up on top or whether one of these teams manages to win Euro 2020, one thing is certain – they will be fun to watch.
