CANDIDATES strong champion Piala Europe 2020 looks like entering the round of 16. Performance in the group phase is a reference for the teams discussed below, which are predicted to go far or even come out as champions Euro 2020.
Not only performance in the group phase, potential opponents faced in the knockout phase also determine the steps of the teams which will be discussed below. So, who are the teams in question?
Here are 5 strong candidates to win the 2020 European Cup:
5. Netherlands
Netherlands superior in three Group C matches Euro 2020. Frank De Boer’s squad swept three matches in Group C of Euro 2020 with a win, beating Ukraine 3-2, beating Austria 2-0 and destroying North Macedonia 3-0.
The path of the Netherlands to climb to the top of the 2020 European Cup is not as heavy as France, Portugal, Belgium or Italy. If they beat the Czech Republic in the last 16, the Netherlands will only meet the winner of the Wales vs Denmark match in the 2020 European Cup quarter-finals. Only in the semifinals, the Netherlands has the potential to meet a strong English team at Wembley Stadium,
4. France
It’s hard to cross out French from the list of champions Euro 2020. The 2018 World Cup winners are still showing their greatness by coming out as winners of Group F, which is labeled by many as a hell group.
The tactical maturity of the coach, Didier Deschamps, will determine whether or not France will win the Euro 2020. This is because France was attacked by a storm of injuries, to be precise on the left side of the defense, where Lucas Hernandez and Lucas Digne had to step aside.

However, the presence of star players like Kylian Mbappe, Karim Benzema to Paul Pogba is very profitable for France. Can you be a champion, France?
3. Portugal
Portugal shows that they did not rely on luck when they won the 2016 European Cup. It is proven, Cristiano Ronaldo and his friends were able to qualify for the last 16 Euro 2020 even though they are part of the hell group.
Cristiano Ronaldo is still the mainstay of Portugal. Currently, Cristiano Ronaldo is listed as the temporary top scorer for the 2020 European Cup with a collection of five goals. If Cristiano Ronaldo still keeps his level of play high, don’t be surprised to see Portugal back out as the 2020 European Cup champions.
However, the merit of winning the 2020 European Cup will be tested by the world number one team, Belgium, in the round of 16 on Monday 28 June 2021 in the early hours of WIB. Can lose Belgium, Portugal?
2. Italy
Italy look surprising in Euro 2020. Roberto Mancini’s squad swept three European Cup 2020 Group A matches with a win. It didn’t stop there, the Italian goal did not concede in those three matches!
In the round of 16 of the 2020 European Cup, Italy only met Austria. On paper, Italy is able to frustrate the opponent. It was only in the quarterfinals that Gli Azzurri – the nickname of Italy – faced a strong opponent, namely between Belgium or Portugal.
After that in the semifinals, Italy has the potential to be France. If the above opponents are successfully conquered, Italy deserves to be championed as the 2020 European Cup champions.
1. English
English benefit from host status European Cup 20220. If they qualify for the final, England will only play at a neutral venue once, in the quarter-finals to be exact. The remaining three matches, namely the three group stage matches, the last 16, the semi-finals and the final, will be played by England at home, namely Wembley Stadium.
Even so, it is not only the support of England’s supporters in the 2020 European Cup. England also has an advantage in the 2020 European Cup, to be precise in the defense sector.
The England national team followed in the footsteps of Italy, being the team that did not concede in three group stage matches. So, will England win its first European Cup trophy in history?
