With Euro 2024 almost upon us, bookmaker Pinnacle have brought bettors a range of betting markets that they can enjoy alongside the best of the football action. 

One such betting market revolves around which side will top Group E at Euro 2024, with Belgium fancied to finish at the summit at 1.44 with the betting site.

Belgium arrive for Euro 2024 as the big favourites to top Group E and set themselves up for a shot at the trophy this summer. 

Ukraine are seen as Belgium's biggest rivals when it comes to topping the group, with the side 6.01. Meanwhile, Romania can be backed at 7.51 with Slovakia the underdogs at 11.01. 

Despite arriving as the big favourites to win the group, Belgium have hardly shone at major tournaments in recent years. Their supposed golden generation has failed to bring back any kind of silverware, with the nation struggling to come good when it matters most.

A younger side is looking to make their mark in the jersey now, with Belgium having to say goodbye to a number of their world class players. 

The major worry for Belgium will be that they lack much experience at major tournaments. Of course, this could prove to be a blessing, allowing them to play without the same weight of expectation as teams of the past. 

Ukraine and Romania are close to each other in the betting, and they will fancy their chances of topping the group too. Belgium are far from unbeatable, and a win over the favourites would change everything as far as finishing at the summit goes. 

For Slovakia, the betting seems to suggest that they will really struggle to come close to topping the group. Perhaps they will target avoiding defeat in one of their games, although a win over Ukraine or Romania would certainly put them in the mix to make it out of the group.

Ultimately, this group seems to be Belgium's to lose, but can they finish at the summit?
