Austria ahead of Italy
European champions? The German pros’ predictions
For the Bundesliga professionals, the German national soccer team is the top favorite to win the title at the European Championship in their own country. In a survey conducted by the specialist magazine "kicker", 40 percent of participants said that the DFB team would become European champions. They were followed by France (22.0%), England (15.4%), Spain (6.2%), Portugal (3.5%) and Austria (2.6%). Defending champions Italy received just 1.3% of the vote.
Only 2.6% of professionals expect another preliminary round exit like the embarrassing World Cups in Qatar in 2022 and Russia in 2018.
Almost three quarters of first division players (71.8) see national coach Julian Nagelsmann's team reaching at least the semi-finals. The final of the European Championship, which begins on June 14, will take place on July 14 in Berlin's Olympic Stadium.
