The results are, however, more reserved for teams like Spain, who although having an excellent history in this competition, would come out in quarter-finals, eliminated by higher ranked teams in this forecast.
Spain performing less well than expected
While Spain have won the Euro three times, the AI analysis sees them exiting the competition prematurely at the quarter-final stage. This prediction is surprising given their history but reveals the importance of current dynamics. La Roja is considered less successful than Portugal and Italy, other usual favorites of the competition.
France and England in the lead
The teams of France and England rise to the top of the AI forecasts. France, with a 28% chance of victory, could reach the final according to these predictions. Germany, the host country, shares these same probabilities but is ruled out in the semi-finals by the AI analysis.
The favorite Three Lions according to AI
England, unfortunate finalist of the last edition against Italy, is considered the main favorite for Euro 2024. According to the AI, the Three Lions have a 34.4% chance of winning their first European title. This forecast is based on solid performances and a strengthened team, ready to conquer the coveted trophy.
