NetBet ambassador Ray Parlour is tipping France to go all the way at Euro 2024 this summer, ahead of favourites England.
Kylian Mbappe’s Les Bleus side are heavily backed to make a huge impact at the tournament after finishing as runners-up at the 2022 World Cup.
Parlour told online betting platform NetBet: "I see France meeting England in the semi-final and Mbappe could well be the difference, so France for me as tournament winner."
France take on Austria in their Euro 2024 opener and the match is featured in the first round of NetBet’s exciting Correct Score Predictor for the upcoming tournament, with a jackpot of £1 million up for grabs.
The promotion is made up of four rounds and in each, NetBet users will have to predict six correct scores from selected Euro 2024 matches. Prizes are available for each round too, ranging from a £2 Free Bet to £100,000 cash.
Parlour, 51, has given his predictions for the opening round of games, tipping heavyweights England, Portugal and France to all start their tournaments with a key victory.
Parlour’s predictions
Serbia vs England: 1-2
Ray said: "England can get off to a winning start at Euro 2024. Expect England’s attacking players to shine, with far too much talent on show compared to Serbia."
Romania vs Ukraine: 0-1
Ray said: "Tough one to call this game, but Ukraine are on a good run of form and can nick this 1-0."
Belgium vs Slovakia: 2-0
Ray said: "Belgium have a lot of experience in their squad and with Lukaku still scoring plenty of goals, they can start the tournament with a win.”
Austria vs France: 0-2
Ray says: "Tournament favourites France can also get off to a nice start. They will have too much class and firepower for their opponents and get a comfortable opening game win."
Turkey vs Georgia: 2-1
Ray said: "Georgia’s first major tournament and they may come unstuck here against a Turkey side who have a lot of good players and can start with a win."
Portugal vs Czech Republic: 2-1
Ray said: "You can never write off Portugal and with Fernandes, Jota and Ronaldo. They will have enough to get a win here over the Czech Republic."
