Virtual Euro Cup data suggests Germany are likeliest Euro 2016 winners

England fans are facing at least another two years of hurt, while Portugal and Turkey looks like the outsider bets.

Portugal and Turkey looks like the outsider bets Sportradar, Betradar’s unique EURO CUP virtual football tournament product has run through the tournament 480 times since it launched in May and the data shows that Germany and France are worthy favourites.

The Virtual EURO CUP is based on real Sportradar data, including recent player and team performances. Since a whole tournament is run through every 70 minutes, punters have been able to experience the ups and downs of following their team hundreds of times

Germany are unsurprisingly good at getting to finals but at least as far as the statistics shows, they particularly excel at lifting the cup once there. Of the 480 tournaments run so far, Germany reached the final 155 times or a 33% success rate. But Germany won 99 of those, which translates into a 66% success rate once in the final and a 21.5% success rate overall. This tallies quiet neatly with the country’s best-priced 9/2 odds.
