Gullit backs France for Euro 2016
Former Netherlands international Ruud Gullit says France's home advantage at Euro 2016 makes them the favourites.
In the absence of his native Netherlands, Ruud Gullit is backing France to win Euro 2016 on home soil.
The home nation is widely tipped to do well at the tournament, which kicks off in June, and Gullit has joined the growing contingent backing them for the title, telling Omnisport that he expected the country's home advantage to play a big part.
Gullit pointed to the last time France hosted a major international tournament - the World Cup in 1998 - in supporting Didier Deschamps' side.
