Group F Betting Preview
Determining the winner of the Group of Death is a trickier task as Portugal, Germany and France are top teams and Hungary can cause major upsets.
France are the reigning World Champions having won the Russia 2018 tournament in impressive fashion. Many of that team are still part of a French group who qualified comfortably enough for these finals despite dropping four points against group runners-up Turkey. They have a perfect chance to avenge a Euro 2016 final loss to Portugal, since Cristiano Ronaldo & co. have been drawn in the same pool.
Germany crashed out in the opening round of Russia 2018 - they entered the tournament as World Champions having in 2014 - finishing bottom of a mediocre group containing Sweden, Mexico and South Korea. Since then, Die Mannschaft has been in a state of transition mixing good performance to disappointing outings. Joachim Low's men failed to win any of their four games against France and Netherlands in the opening edition of the Nations League (finishing with a W2 D3 1L record in last year's competition) and recently suffered a 6-0 defeat at the hands of Spain. Defense is their main concern.
Portugal will head into this summer’s as defending champions as they won the 2016 edition - beating host nation France in the final. The Seleçao also won the inaugural edition of the UEFA Nations League back in 2019 and have added the likes of Bruno Fernandes, Diogo Jota, Joao Felix and Ruben Dias to their squad. Fernando Santos’ men are in good form, losing just two of their 26 matches since the 2018 World Cup. An opening match against group outsiders Hungary could prove an advantage for Cristiano Ronaldo & co.
Hungary finished 4th out of five teams in their Euro 2020 qualifying group but their Nations League achievements earned them a play-off against Bulgaria which they won 3-1. The Magyars had a positive Euro 2016 tournament (their fist major tournament participation in 30 years). Hungary finished top of a group that included eventual winners Portugal before losing 4-0 to Belgium in the last 16 round. Furthermore, they secured a promotion to League A of the UEFA Nations League after a 1-1 draw with Serbia and a 2-0 win against Turkey at the end of last year. They would have chance to qualify in any other Euro 2020 group, but they had an extremely unlucky draw.

Euro 2020 Group F Predictions
World champions France are almost tied with Germany as the favourites to top the group, but France look a safer bet considering Germany's recent hiccups. Portugal are a talent-rich squad that can go deep in the competition although Cristiano Ronaldo is past his prime. The Seleçao could get the nod over Germany for the runner-up place behind France. Hungary are the sacrificial victim in the "group of death" despite recent improvements.
Will Germany progress to knockout stage?
Germany will need to hit the ground running if they are to escape the Group of Death. Should Hungary prove themselves a tough nut to crack - even profiting from home advantage against Portugal and France - the group should be even more competitive and levelled. As a result, they could finish second or third, and the third-placed team qualification could be in danger. In our opinion, "Portugal to qualify" provide a better value.
Will any of Portugal, Germany or France win all three matches in the Group F?
Group F is a staggeringly tough heat with Les Bleus and Die Mannschaft 5/4 joint-favourites to top the group and the Seleçao at 9/2. Furthermore, Hungary will be looking to cause more upsets with arguably a decent squad this summer. As a result, we believe no teams will finish the Group Stage with maximum points.
