The European Championship, delayed a year due to the coronavirus pandemic, is set to be a feast of football.

In total, 51 games will take place across 11 countries, while the semi-final and final will be staged at Wembley should Gareth Southgate and the boys need any more inspiration.

But before you get dreaming about Harry Kane lifting the trophy, its important to have a reality check.

France are chock full of stars with Karim Benzema rejoining Didier Deschamps attack, which already includes Kylian Mbappe and Antoine Griezmann.

Portugal will be led by the evergreen Cristiano Ronaldo, aided by Manchester United superstar Bruno Fernandes and the likes of Joao Felix and Ruben Dias.

Germany and Spain will also be looking to cause a stir, while Belgiums Golden Generation will attempt to emerge victorious, with their hopes resting on the fitness of Kevin De Bruyne and Eden Hazard.

There will also be some dark horses, such as Denmark, Turkey, and Austria, looking to pull off some shock results.

But, as ever, football is hard to predict.

So here, talkSPORT has booted up the Super Computer in association with Betfair to find out just what could happen at Euro 2020.

Heres how it predicted the results to unfold

Group A

Only one winner here, it would seem.

Italy are favourites to win the group, and they do so, according to the talkSPORT Super Computer.

Turkey make it through in second place, while Switzerland will also be in the round of 16, qualifying as one of the best third-place nations.

There will be no repeat of 2016 for Wales with Gareth Bale and co going home early.

Group B

Its Finland who limp home here and there is nothing Teemu Pukki can do about it.

Belgium have the stars to top the standings, while Denmark pip Russia to second spot.

But, dont fear, Stanislav Cherchesovs moustache will reach the knockout phase by finishing as one of the best third-place sides.

Group C

Having lost goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen prior to the tournament, its going to get a bit trickier for Netherlands, but are still tipped to win Group C.

Ukraine sneak ahead of Austria but, once again, this lot get a second chance as a best third-place side.

New Real Madrid signing David Alaba will be thanking his lucky stars.

Group D

Its the big one.

A tricky group for England as they face auld enemy Scotland as well as Croatia, their 2018 World Cup conquerors.

But fear not, as they are backed to come through as group winners.

Croatia make it out too, but its commiserations to Czech Republic and Scotland, who fall at the first hurdle.

Group E

Spain arent as strong as they used to be but they still sail through as group winners in 2021.

Without Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Sweden cant get past Poland who have the firepower of Robert Lewandowski.

Slovakia prop up the table.

Group F

Its the Group of Death and France and Portugal are set to duke it out for top spot.

Deschamps side finish first, Ronaldos lot in second, and Germany have to settle for third.

Thats not the end for the Germans, though, as they sneak into the knockouts with a third-place finish.

Hungary didnt stand a chance but hopefully well see them again soon.

Now things are getting interesting!

Belgium edge out Switzerland to reach the last eight, where they will face Italy, who sneak beyond Ukraine.

France make light work of Austria, while Croatia battle to a victory over Poland, which could frustrate Lewandowskis Ballon dOr hopes.

Whats that? England make it past Portugal in a knockout game? No, you arent dreaming. Helder Postiga isnt around to stop them this time.

But the Three Lions will face Spain in the next stage as they defeat Russia revenge for World Cup 2018.

Germany squeak past Netherlands on penalties and will take on Turkey, who beat Denmark.

When talkSPORT said this tournament was more competitive than ever, we werent joking!

Belgium make it into the last four past Italy just and they will take on France, who had it much easier against Croatia in a replay of the 2018 World Cup final.

Southgates starlets stun Spain with a glorious 2-1 win but next up is an old enemy as Germany beat Turkey, but only after extra-time.

Heres where the story ends for the Three Lions, beaten at Wembley by Germany, on penalties devastating.

Meanwhile, France also make the Wembley showpiece as they defeat neighbours Belgium.

talkSPORT was surprised the Super Computer didnt blow a fuse with some of these classics being played but after chuntering away it gave us the winner.

France, on the back of their World Cup win in 2018, claim the European Championship triumph they probably feel they should have had back on home soil in 2016.

Congratulation to Kylian and the boys history is yours!

Now, lets hope England can make a mockery of the Super Computer
