Group C Betting and Odds |
Italy may have made hard work of qualifying for Euro 08 but they are very hard to beat and should qualify from this year's so called 'Group Of Death'.
France qualified from the same group as Italy and this is there first tournament for some time without the brilliant Zinedine Zidane. They will need the likes of Thierry Henry to bring his old Arsenal form to international stage but is he over the hill?
Holland finished behind fellow group members Romania in their qualfying group after a few disappointing results but there is no denying the amount of talent they have in their squad. They may be quite low scoring but expect them to go well.
Romania pulled off a shock when qualifying in front of Holland for Euro 08 and should not be underestimated in Group C, although they have a very difficult task to qualify ahead of Italy, France and Holland. Defensive tactics have worked well so far.
Euro 08 Group C Betting TipsFrance could be vulnerable with some aging players and their younger players unproven in big tournaments. The short price makes other teams good value to qualify from the group so we suggest backing two.

Italy look a fair bet to win the group and are worth a bet. The World Cup holders will be extremely well organised as usual and will be looking to make it two tournaments in a row.

Group C Spread BettingSpread betting on the Euro 2008 groups is popular. In this index with Sporting Index the winner of the group earns 25 points, the runner up earns 10 points, the third place earns 5 points and the bottom side earns no points.
Buying This MarketThis is the group where anything could happen and the front three are very closely matched. The best play could be to chance Romania who actually finished above Holland in qualifying. On that form they are definitely the value call. You would be buying at 4.5-6 and they are talented enough to finish at least third. They could surprise everyone and qualify from the group which would give a tidy profit.

Selling This MarketAnother difficult one to call for this group. With France having quite a large spread it might be worth selling them at 8.5-10. You will make a profit from that wager as long as they don’t finish top of the group and Italy should take care of that. This means there isn’t a lot of risk and there is a fair chance they could come third, or even bottom of the group as they don’t quite look the force they have been in previous competitions.
