Germany – Euro 2008 odds 4/1 with Stan James

Although Germany are favorites, their side doesn’t contain as many world class players as some of their Euro 2008 rivals such as Spain or Italy. Germany are short odds thanks to their solid World Cup performance (where they were the hosts). Always a well organized side, they will be difficult to beat but do they have the flair and creativity to go all the way?

Spain – Euro 2008 odds 6/1 with Blue Square

Spain are always the major under-achievers in major football tournaments, but have been subject to a number of large bets from professional  gamblers due to their fantastic squad. Spain will be fielding Premiership stars such as Torres and Fabregas, as well as Puyol from Barcelona. If Spain can finally overcome their major tournament underachievement they look a great bet.

Italy – Euro 2008 odds 7/1 with Sky Bet

Never underestimate the Italians! Despite being one of the greatest footballing nations ever, many pundits wrote them off for the World Cup and were proved wrong! The Italian Euro 2008 squad may not contain as many glamorous names as previous years, but they are still a solid outfit who will be very difficult to beat.

Portugal – Euro 2008 odds 15/2 with Bet 365

Portugal have the easier side of the draw, and arguably the world’s best player on current form in Christiano Ronaldo so will attract of lot of bets at attractive odds. Our major concern for Portugal is that they don’t have a regular out and out striker and may rely too heavily on Ronaldo for firepower.

France – Euro 2008 odds 9/1 with Bet 365

France look a decent bet to do well in Euro 2008 with a good blend of youth and experience in their squad.

Croatia – Euro 2008 odds 14/1 with Totesport

Croatia are a solid outfit who should have no problems progressing through the group stages. With Arsenal strike Eduardo out injured they may lack the firepower to go all the way. Another negative factor about the Croatian’s is their ability to travel, as a lot of their recent good form has been on home territory. Still many punters will be placing each-way bets as Croatia are considered to be dark horses.

Holland – Euro 2008 odds 14/1 with Sky Bet

Holland are great value at 14/1 with a very talented squad. Unfortunately for the Dutch they have been drawn in the group of death alongside Italy and France. There are also question marks surrounding the unity of the squad, but there is no doubt that this team has some of the most talented individuals.

Czech Republic – Euro 2008 odds 16/1 with Stan James

The Czech Republic have performed well in recent tournaments, most notably in 2004 when they were beaten semi-finalists. However, their chances this time around look a lot harder with Rosicky out injured, Nedved retired from International football, and Milan Baros out of form. It is worth noting that the Czech’s qualified ahead of Germany for this tournament.

Switzerland – Euro 2008 odds 33/1 with Totesport

The hosts of the Euros have always managed to at least qualify for the quarter finals. Although Switzerland don’t have a star filled squad, their group isn’t the hardest so they can be confident of at least reaching the quarter finals.
