Goalkeepers play a huge role in winning trophies for a team. So, who is the favourite to wear the golden glove at Euro 2020 and the golden glove odds?
More than 72 goalkeepers are in the squad of 24 teams participating at Euro 2020. And, one of among these will win the golden gloves of Euro 2020. Moreover, we cannot deny that the goalkeeper is the saviour of the teams. Mainly, in a tournament like this, when you have a penalty shoot-out, you need your best man to save the ball.
List of Favourites And Odds Of Who Can Win Golden Glove at Euro 2020
5. David De Gea
The Spanish shot-stopper had a mixed season at Manchester United as he battled for his no.1 spot with Dean Henderson. Moreover, De Gea failed to score the final penalty against Villareal in the Europa League final and also failed to stop any. Moving on, everyone knows the quality of De Gea and how good is he.
He kept 12 clean sheets in 36 appearances for Manchester United in the 2020/2021 season. Although, there are chances he might get competition for the no.1 spot from Unai Simon.
4. Hugo Lloris
Captain of the 2018 World Champion French team is not in his best form but we cannot underestimate his quality. Furthermore, Lloris is a world champion and knows how to win with his national side. Although, he had a mixed season with Tottenham Hotspurs and failed to provide any world-class performance.
France is in the group of death and they need a solid performance from Lloris to move ahead and win the trophy.
3. Gianluigi Donnarumma
In the qualifying round, the Italian goalkeeper kept 3 clean sheets out of five. Moreover, it is impossible to replace the great Gianluigi Buffon but it is possible to continue his legacy. 22-years old Donnarumma is a perfect replacement for Buffon as he already has experience of more than 250 club matches with AC Milan.
Donnarumma kept 14 clean sheets and conceded just 38 goals in 37 appearances for AC Milan.
2. Thibaut Courtois
The Real Madrid no. 1 man has once again set his feet in front of the post t make great saves. After arriving in Madrid, Courtois had a poor start and was considered a flop. But, in recent years he has established himself as Real won La Liga in the 19/20season.
Courtois conceded the fewest goals (48) among the 12 La Liga goalkeepers to play 5000+ minutes during that time, while he sits level with Jan Oblak with a league-high 35 cleans sheets.
1. Manuel Neuer
The German number 1 kept five clean sheets out of seven played in the qualifying round. Moreover, he is not only known for his shot-stopping but for high line clearances. Neuer is now 35 years old and is still doing his job with perfection.
Recently, in a match against Bayern Leverkusen, Neuer maintained a clean sheet and increased the number to 205 which is a record in Bundesliga.
