Euro 2008 Betting Preview

Europe’s biggest football tournament kicks off at St. Jakob Park in Basel, Switzerland on the 7th of June. The Euro 2008 will see 16 of the top national teams in Europe travel to Austria and Switzerland to compete for the title of champions of Europe.

The Euro 2008 Championship marks only the second occasion that Europe’s biggest tournament has been co-hosted by two countries. This tournament format sees Austria qualify as a co-host, marking this country’s first appearance in the European championships.

The composition of the four groups for the first round of the tournament is likely to play a decisive role on how the drama at the Euro 2008 unfolds. Put your football expertise to the test with an early bet on which team is likely to top each of the four Euro 2008 pools.

Group A
1. Switzerland
2. Czech Republic
3. Portugal
4. Turkey

Sparks are likely to fly in the encounters between the teams in Euro 2008 Group A. One of the toughest groups in the tournament will see four evenly matched teams renewing rivalries and battling for group ascendancy. William Hill have priced Portugal as 5/4 favourites to head Group A, with co-hosts Switzerland priced at 7/1 to use home advantage to climb to the top of Group A.

Group B
1. Austria
2. Croatia
3. Germany
4. Poland

With Austria and Poland both making their Euro debuts, Euro 2008 Group B is set to be dominated by Germany and Croatia. Paddy Power have priced Germany as 8/13 group favourites while Austria are rank outsiders at odds of 21/1.

Group C
1. France
2. Holland
3. Italy
4. Romania

Euro 2008 Group C is virtually certain to be billed the Group of Death. All four pool members are potential champions, setting the scene for some of the most competitive, tense matches of the tournament. Bet365 have priced Italy as 6/4 pool winners, with Romania priced at attractive odds of 11/2.

Group D
1. Greece
2. Sweden
3. Spain
4. Russia

Euro 2008 Group D is easily the most open group in the tournament, with any of the four teams featured in with a realistic chance of progressing to the round of 16. Spain are favourites with totesport at odds of 7/2, with Russia tipped to prop up the table at 11/2 odds.
