However, with just one day before the games begin, France has joined them atop the oddsboard at DraftKings Sportsbook. France and England are now both at +350 to win the tournament. Three years ago, England was just a penalty shootout away from winning the tournament. Less than two years ago, France was a penalty shootout away from winning the World Cup. 

Over the past week, there has been a shift in tournament odds due to injuries to key players in qualifying and warmup games. Earlier this week, the status of Poland's top two strikers came into doubt, including Poland's all-time leading goalscorer Robert Lewandowski.  Poland's odds to win the Euros have lengthened to 100-1.  In addition, the Netherlands has also been struck with the injury bug just a few days prior to the tournament, after midfielder Frenkie de Jong was ruled out of the tournament with an ankle injury.
