Bookmakers rate Belgium 7-1 to win Euro 2020 after they became the first nation to qualify for next summer's tournament with a 9-0 demolition of San Marino.

The Red Devils have established an unassailable 11-point advantage over third-placed Cyprus and are 1-20 to top Group I above Russia, who they lead by three points.

Only France (4-1) and England (9-2) are above Roberto Martinez's side in the outright market.

Wales are still in with a shot of qualifying for the European Championships after a 1-1 draw away to Slovakia and they are 4-5 with bet365 to finish in the top two in Group E.

They can be backed at 6-1 to top the section with Croatia 1-4 favourites after thumping ten-man Hungary 3-0.

Scotland's hopes of automatic qualification were ended by an emphatic 4-0 defeat in Russia, meaning their only chance of making a first major tournament since 1998 is through the playoffs in March after they won their Nations League group last year.

The correct score was available at 22-1 before the game and leaves Russia in a healthy position eight points clear of Cyprus.

Northern Ireland have been pushed out to 10-1 to qualify from Group C after a tough 3-1 loss to the Netherlands.

Michael O'Neill's men took the lead in the 75th minute with their only shot on target but conceded five minutes later before two added-time goals put a significant dent in their top-two aspirations.

The Dutch are no bigger than 8-1 to lift the trophy next summer and are evens to win their qualifying section with Germany the same price. Northern Ireland are 33-1 to finish top.
