Group D Betting and Odds |
Spain never seem to live up to expectations in these major tournaments and it may be a case or now or never. Euro 08 looks very open with no outstanding team and with Villa and Torres up front they definitely won't lack firepower. Spain are favourites to win Euro 08 Group D.
Greece qualified from what was probably the weakest qualification group (Turkey finished runners up)but they did so in fairly impressive fashion, dropping just two points away from home. The European Championship holders deserve plenty of respect but how they cope against the 'bigger' sides in the competition will show how good they really are.
Sweden finished behind fellow group members Spain in qualifying for Euro 08 but actually qualified with the best away record in the group which is obviously a help with all these games being played on foreign soil. Could be a value price to qualify for the knockout stages of Euro 08.
Russia qualified almost by default when England were beaten on home soil by Croatia but it should be noted they are much better at hoe than they are away. They take advantage of the often sub zero temperatures and plastic pitch and could easily find themselves struggling in this company. Major doubt that they will qualify for the knockout stages of Euro 08.
Our Euro 08 Group D Betting TipsSpain should give a very good showing this summer and they are strongly fancied to win Group D.

Buying This MarketSpain should win this group and there is more profit in Spain winning the group than the other sides coming second so buy Spain at 20-21.5. There may be a big loss waiting if they completely under perform but this is possibly the easiest group and it would be a shock if the even only came runners up. An 8x your stake profit if they win the group is worth the risk.

Selling This MarketGreece and Sweden should scrap the other points out between them and Russia may really struggle as they strongly rely on home advantage normally. If they bring their usual away from to Euro 08 then they will finish bottom of the group. That means a make up of 0 points so sell Russia at 4.5-6 for an easy profit, you can even afford them to come third in the group.
