The stage is set for the knockout rounds of UEFA Euro 2024. Italy are the defending champions and they'll square off against Switzerland on Saturday, June 29, in the Round of 16. The updated UEFA Euro 2024 odds list Italy at +1600 longshots to repeat. England, who topped Group C with five points, are the +350 favorites, followed by Spain (+400), France (+550), Germany (+550) and Portugal (+650). Play begins at noon ET on Saturday.

Before you lock in your UEFA Euro 2024 futures picks or knockout bracket predictions, you need to see what SportsLine's soccer insider Brandt Sutton has to say. 

Sutton is a former collegiate soccer player and has been SportsLine's top soccer editor since 2017. He has followed soccer closely for much longer and factors in managerial tactics, projected lineups and past performances to make the most informed decisions possible.

Sutton finished the 2022-23 Champions League season with a 16-7 record (+8.93 units) on SportsLine's UCL pick sheet and is 25-20-2 (+3.20) in 2023-24. He also finished 2022 as SportsLine's No. 1 soccer expert with a 165-130-2 mark, returning nearly $2,200 for $100 players and is 139-136-5 since the 2022 World Cup. Anybody following saw huge returns!

One thing we can give away: Sutton is fading England at Euro 2024, even though the Three Lions are the +350 favorites. England got a favorable draw in the knockout rounds, avoiding Spain, Germany, France, and Portugal, unless they reach the final. The Three Lions certainly have a talented squad, but Sutton believes their recent form and inability to score will be England's downfall. 

"England have won just one major tournament in their storied history, which happened on home soil at the 1966 World Cup," Sutton told SportsLine. "The Three Lions have never won the Euros and they've struggled to create scoring chances at Euro 2024, recording four or fewer shots on target in each of their three group stage games."

Sutton has locked in his best bets to win Euro 2024, along with his top futures plays and his full knockout bracket predictions. He's revealed how far England, France, Germany and Spain will advance. He's also high on a double-digit longshot that is "always a tough out in knockout competitions." You NEED to see which teams Sutton is backing before locking in your Euro 2024 futures picks!
