- Years of near misses have created a realistic mood among fans, with many questioning whether the squad led by Thomas Tuchel has enough to succeed after narrowly losing the Euros final two years ago.

- Tom Ritzema, group trading director at Entain, noted that "football loyalty and betting logic don't always go hand in hand," as 26 per cent of fans admit they would back an opposing side if their own team faced elimination.
