Throughout the Euro 2024 campaign we’ve been asking the powerhouses of AI to give their thoughts about the tournament including the winner and the top goalscorer of the tournament. We’ve then been comparing them to the thoughts of our Ladbrokes squad that we sent out to Germany for the group stages of the tournament.
Here is what we entered into the prompt for the AI:
“Taking into consideration form and team during the previous month, who do you think will win the final of the 2024 European Championships between Spain and England”

Spain has a slight edge going into the Euro 2024 final. Here's why:
- Winning Streak: Spain is currently on a 6-game winning streak, including a dramatic victory against France in the semi-final. Their offense is firing on all cylinders.
- Defensive Boost: Key defenders Robin Le Normand and Dani Carvajal are returning from suspension, solidifying their backline that was shaky against France.

Given the recent form and team strengths, it is a tough call. However, Spain's consistent ability to control games and their midfield dominance might give them a slight edge.That said, England's tactical versatility and key players' form make them formidable opponents capable of winning the final.
Ultimately, the final could be very close and might even be decided by fine margins such as a single goal or a penalty shootout.
Spain are the favourites to lift the trophy on Sunday at 8/13 with Ladbrokes.
It’s not all doom and gloom for England fans though. Throughout the tournament we’ve been asking AI to predict the winner. Gemini AI suggested that Germany would win the tournament however the hosts were beaten by Spain. ChatGPT’s prediction also fell short thanks to a Spain victory as this AI predicted France would lift the trophy.
With the AI’s strike rate during Euro 2024, does that give England even more hope?
Pazz was part of our team out in Germany during the group stages to go behind the scenes for Ladbrokes. Whilst he embraced the German hospitality, it may have swayed his opinion on who he thought was winning the tournament as he picked the hosts to lift the trophy.
However, with the Germans heading out he is in belief that Southgates men will bring football home.
“My head says Spain's strengths on the wings and in the middle of the park are England’s biggest weakness… good thing the final won’t be played in my head, it's coming home son 3-2 England!!”
England are 23/20 with Ladbrokes to lift the trophy on Sunday.
