Germany, in fact, is also pegged at <a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/uefa-euro-2016\">+350 <\/a>\u00a0to hoist the Henri Delaunay Trophy. But before we get too ahead of ourselves, the Germans can&#8217;t let their confidence get the better of them.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, this team\u00a0is surrounded with world-class talent and one player, in particular, who\u00a0will garner most of the spotlight. That man is Thomas Muller.<\/p>\n<p>Muller, without question, will be under immense pressure to find the net especially with Miroslav Klose\u2019s retirement from international play. Well, that shouldn\u2019t be too much of a task for the 26-year-old star midfielder, who led Germany in goals (nine) during the qualifiers and is coming off a sensational offensive season for Bayern Munich. That already serves as an assurance that Muller\u2019s heading into France oozing with confidence.<\/p>\n<p>A reason for concern, though, is Germany\u2019s injury blows. The team will have to go on with life without a number of key players in Ilkay Gundogan, Antonio Rudiger and Marco Reus, who have all been ruled out of the tournament.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, they&#8217;re still packed with options. And surely, team manager Joachim Low can find the right replacements and make the necessary adjustments to keep Germany as good and as ready as possible.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Sleepers<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3>Poland (<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/uefa-euro-2016\/group-c\" target=\"_blank\">+350<\/a><\/strong>)<\/h3>\n<p>Poland appears to be the most legitimate threat to the Germans. This country made some serious noise during the qualifiers, as it led all nations with 33 goals and also pulled off a major upset over Germany.\u00a0 A testament to that success was none other than Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski, who was the leading scorer in qualifying with 13 goals. There\u2019s no doubt that this man is a superstar and his offensive prowess should be able to help Poland turn a few more heads in France.<\/p>\n<h3>Ukraine (<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/uefa-euro-2016\/group-c\" target=\"_blank\">+850<\/a><\/strong>)<\/h3>\n<p>Ukraine shouldn\u2019t be underestimated despite being its first time to qualify for the European Championships. The Ukrainians still have a lot to prove, but even so, you can expect them to compete well enough against any opponent. They have a solid tandem in Andriy Yarmolenko and Yevhen Konoplyanka on their side, after all.<\/p>\n<p>Those two can score at any given moment, and the world bared witness to that during Ukraine\u2019s campaign in the qualifying round. Yarmolenko scored six of the nation\u2019s 17 goals, while Konoplyanka netted in two\u00a0of his own.<\/p>\n<p>Also, Ukraine isn\u2019t just one-sided team. Its defense is pretty solid, as the Blue and Yellows only surrendered five goals in the qualifiers.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Long Shot<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3>Northern Ireland (<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/uefa-euro-2016\/group-c\" target=\"_blank\">+2,000<\/a><\/strong>)<\/h3>\n<p>In all honesty, it\u2019s hard to be optimistic about Northern Ireland\u2019s chances of making some noise in France. This club deserves a lot of credit for simply making it to its first major tournament since the 1986 World Cup, and the Irish Northerners should be already satisfied with that feat.<\/p>\n<p>But if they suddenly prove us wrong, you can bet that Kyle Lafferty will be a big reason for their success.\u00a0Lafferty led them in scoring with seven goals in qualifying, and is currently their second-highest goal scorer (17).<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Writer&#8217;s Prediction<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Germany (<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/uefa-euro-2016\/group-c\" target=\"_blank\">-250<\/a><\/strong>)\u00a0reigns supreme over Group C. Expect them, however, to get eliminated in the semifinals.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/record.tbaffiliate.com\/_y8k7RB3Ll4xutv7iXV6HvmNd7ZgqdRLk\/6\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"broken_link\" rel=\"nofollow\">Create a betting account now<\/a>\u00a0and start cashing in on your favorite teams in the Euro 2016.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/record.tbaffiliate.com\/_y8k7RB3Ll4xutv7iXV6HvmNd7ZgqdRLk\/35\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-110646 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/620x110-Euro-2016-News-Banners.gif\" alt=\"620x110-Euro-2016-News-Banners\" width=\"620\" height=\"110\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>World champions Germany will be one of the top contenders in Euro 2016.
