Why is Belgium most likely to win EURO 2016?

Bookmakers rate Belgium as the third favorite to win the EURO. In fact, the Red Devils have huge advantages to win the title.

The branch is not heavy.

Belgium have had a disappointing start to EURO 2016. Marc Wilmots' side lost 2-0 in their opening Group E match against Italy.

Not only did they lose in terms of results, but they also caused internal problems. Goalkeeper Courtois publicly praised the Italian tactics and spirit - passed on by Antonio Conte, who will manage him at Chelsea next season.

Belgium are in good form, and in the easy draw.

Carrasco was also not satisfied with the way coach Wilmots used his players and arranged his tactics. Hazard and De Bruyne did not see eye to eye, as each wanted to play the role of “number 10”.

However, the problems were quickly resolved. Belgium have won three games in a row, scoring eight goals without conceding.

Form and confidence have returned to Belgium. Not only that, the Red Devils' journey to the final is not so difficult at the moment.

Belgium's quarter-final opponents are Wales, who they met in the qualifying round. If they overcome Wales, the winner of the Poland-Portugal quarter-final should not be too big of a challenge for Belgium, considering the quality of players they have.

The squad is even, stars Hazard and De Bruyne have made up to shine together, the bracket is not too difficult, the opportunity for Wilmots and his team to reach the final is quite big.

Rivals destroy each other

Once in the final, Belgium can completely think about the championship, even though character is what coach Wilmots' team still lacks.

If they had reached the final, Italy or Germany would have had a hard time.

Because the remaining bracket is a battle between the strongest teams in Europe at the moment.

The Italians who beat Belgium easily and are playing emotional football? That Italian team will face Germany, the reigning world champions and who have not conceded a goal so far at EURO 2016.

If they reach the semi-finals, Italy or Germany's opponent will most likely be France. And to reach the semi-finals, the home team promises to also go through fierce minutes against Iceland - the phenomenon of the tournament and very strong physically.

That means Italy, Germany and France will have to fight to eliminate each other in the quarter-finals. Injuries and suspensions are a real possibility, as Italy's win over Spain showed, with De Rossi injured and Thiago Motta suspended for the quarter-finals.

The journey to the EURO 2016 final was reminiscent of the 2015-16 Champions League. Atletico beat Barca and Bayern Munich, only to lose in the final to Real Madrid - a team in the easy bracket and with more time to prepare physically.

The flag is in hand, it's just a matter of waiting to see if the Belgians know how to wave it.
