Euro2012, Group C: Ireland vs. Croatia   3.75 3.10 2.20 Bet NOW

In Group C Ireland and Croatia are set to battle it out in their first group stage match at Poznan. A possible victory is a must for both sides. Neither Ireland or Croatia is expected to progress to the quarterfinal stage, but that is not to say that neither pose a threat.

Croatia's road to the tourment however, was by no means an easy way. Croatia finished second in their group behind Greece, meaning a dreaded two-legged playoff was the only means of qualification. The Croats convincingly thumped Turkey 3-0 in Istanbul, then proceeded to close out draw 0-0 in Zagreb.

Euro2012, Group D: France vs. England   2.40 3.20 2.80 Bet NOW

England and France face off in the opening match of Group D at Euro 2012 and a possible winning will be in perfect position to advance from this group. The big question is how England will fare under the guidance of a new boss at this year's finals as preparation time will be thin.

After 2010 France have undergone a sustained period of change and development with the former defender Laurent Blanc who's reputation and style as a footballer appears to have rubbed off well on the squad.The French qualified comfortably for the tournment. They are capable of posing a potent threat in attack and an incoherent England outfit could be left vulnerable and exposed. They come into the tournament on a 20-game run that has seen them take a loss on just two occasions.

Euro2012, Group D: Ukraine vs. Sweden   2.60 3.10 2.80 Bet NOW

Co-hosts Ukraine are not in the best form what I have seen in their former friendlies matches. They lost their last two games against Turkey (0:2) and Austria (2:3). Fans in Ukraine are still hoping to get out of group stage but it will be extremely hard. Their team is mainly based on players from domestic league, and the ukraine league not too famous about the high level. In friendlies it was striking the poor defence of ukrainians, all matches they got goals at least one times.

Euro2012, Group A: Poland vs. Russia   3.20 3.25 2.37 Bet NOW

Co-host Poland will take on Group A leaders Russia in a very important match at the National Stadium in Warsaw. Poland took a point in their opener with a 1-1 draw with Greece, while Russia won over the Czech Republic 4-1.

Poland missed a big opportunity in their opening match against Greece. Robert Lewandowski had given them the lead, but they just couldn't hold their composure into the second half. Greece came out a much more focused unit in the second half, and Poland couldn't handle the situation. They had many chances in the first half, but they couldn't cost them. After the greece-goal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny pulled down Salpingidis in the 16-meter box and was awarded a red card while Greece was got a penalty. The rechanged goalkeeper Przemyslaw Tyton was summoned from the bench to face the penalty and make an excellent save to keep the game at 1-1.

Euro2012, Group B: Denmark vs. Portugal   4.75 3.50 1.83 Bet NOW

The Group B of Death leaders Denmark will kick off against rock bottom Portugal at Lviv, in what promisis to be a very exciting game. With a good result, Denmark would get close to qualifying for the quarter-finals, while Portugal is in a bad situation as they need to beat Denmark after losing against Germany.
The Danes played as a real team against Netherlands that resulted an astonishing victory. That was a brave approach to a game in which they were pegged as heavy underdogs. Netherlands dominated the whole match, but the difference was that Denmark scored from their only chance in the game, whereas Holland missed all of chances. Dannish did their defensive job very good and now will have an eye on a quarter final spot. They will start with the same formation against Portugal with the impressive goalkeeper Andersen who kept a clean sheet against the Dutch attack.

Euro2012, Group B: Holland vs. Germany   2.87 3.40 2.50 Bet NOW

Netherlands must to win their second match against Germany in Group B to remaining their chance to go into the quarter-finals. This match was expected to decide which team would finish top of the group, but after the Netherlands' disappointing result against Denmark, it might well decide whether they even make it through to the quarter-finals.
Netherlands now are in a really bad situation. Despite playing not so bad and dominate against Denmark but they fail to keep their defence and fail to score from any chance they created. With a lot of stars in their squad, Netherlands fail again to show their really quality. The players can play together with solid as a team. Now they must win at least once in the upcoming matches against Germany and Portugal. If they defeat now, combined with Denmark beating Portugal, would put them out of the tournament.
Germany got a win under their belt in their first match with a 1-0 win over Portugal. It took a long time to break down the Portuguese, but a header from Mario Gomez breaking the deadlock in an evenly contested match.

Euro2012, Group C: Italy vs. Croatia   2.25 3.30 3.40 Bet NOW

Italy take on Croatia in Poznan on Thursday. Croatia top of the group C with their 3 points after an impressive 3-1 opening win against Ireland, while Italy scored an 1-1 draw against World Cup Champions Spain. The Thursday's match will be hugely important for them, particularly for Italy, who would be unlikely to recover and claim a spot in the quarterfinals should they lose.
Italy played an 1-1 draw against Spain in their opener match which was an excellent result for the them. Italy showed that the Italian team is not dead as many people predicted. Italy opened the scoring with Antonio Di Natale after an hour but their lead was short lived as Cesc Fabregas equalised 4 minutes later. Substitute Torres was guilty of poor finishing and Spain failed to capitalise on their superior possession and could not get their second goal. Italy earned a well-deserved point by the end of the match.

Euro2012, Group C: Spain vs. Ireland   1.25 6.00 13.00 Bet NOW

Defending champion Spain will face on Ireland in group C at the second round of Gdansk. Spain is tied with Italy in the group-table following an 1-1 draw in their opener with Italy while Ireland sits in the bottom of the gorup after a disappointing 3-1 loss to Croatia. Both sides should to win to enhance their quarter-final chances, as Spain have one point and Ireland have none after crashing in their opener.
Spain started their defence of the title with an 1-1 draw against Italy. Antonio Di Natale gave Italy a lead on an hour, but Cesc Fabregas equalised four minutes later. Spain had more possession and more chances and should have won the game with a substitute, but Fernando Torres missing a few chances to win the game. Many fans were surprised when Manager Vicente Del Bosque picked Cesc Fabregas ahead of Fernando Torres and Fernando Llorente as the ‘number 9', so didn't go with a recognised striker in his starting line-up. However Fabregas scored their goal, I think it was a stupid decision. Many will wonder if Torres or Llorente could have won the game for the La Roja.

Euro2012, Group D: Ukraine vs. France   4.20 3.20 2.00 Bet NOW

Ukraine will host France in the second round of group D. Ukraine defeated Sweden in the first meeting to bring Ukraine to the motivation of the players can achieve full points in a game against the French. France are unbeaten in 22 matches row but they were left frustrated after a 1-1 draw against England in their opening game.

Ukraine overturned some poor pre-tournament form to beat Sweden 2-1 in their opening game. A return to home soil after consecutive away losses against Austria and Turkey in last friendlies left the Ukraine team with three wins a two defeats from five games. They have scored 11 goals in their past five games. While there's no question about their threat on offense, the side is struggling to contain the opposition, with 8 goals scored during this time. Andriy Shevcenko who became a hero Ukraine victory over Sweden by scoring two goals, hopes to continue to score against France.

Euro2012, Group D: Sweden vs. England   3.40 3.20 2.30 Bet NOW

England and Sweden will meet at Friday what looks to be a significant match in Group D. Sweden have no choice but to beat England after losing their opening game against Ukraine, whereas the Three Lions are also in need of three points following the 1-1 draw with France.


The Swedes were outmatched in the 2-1 defeat to Ukraine in the first round. However, Erik Hamren's side allowed themselves to concede two goals in a short period of time and ended up losing the game after missing several clear-cut chances. Their defense was faulty and apparently lacked attacking drive and defensive stability against the ukraines and this is quite alarming given the quality and style of their next opposition. Zlatan Ibrahimovic can't do it all for his team. He needs good support to liven up their dampened spirits after the Ukraine's loss.

Euro2012, Group D: Greece vs. Russia   5.00 3.75 1.72 Bet NOW

Russia meet Greece on Saturday, knowing that a point will safely see them through to the quarter final. If Russia loose against Greece and Poles win against Czech Republic they might even loose their place in the knock out stage. Greece need a win to stand any chance of qualifying for the next stage of the competition.
Greeks have won only one point so far. They've managed to get back to game after 0:1 against Poland but it was not the case against Czech Republic when they went 0:2 down after just a few minutes of the play. They did get a goal back but two was just too much. I think poor first half performances have really hurt Greece, they conceded early goals in both games to date, and although they did fight back to earn a creditable draw against co-hosts Poland, but against Czech Republic they could not do it. They've kept their chances and if they beat Russia they still can go through.

Group A will ends on Saturday when the Czech Republic takes on co-host Poland at the Stadion Miejski in Wroclaw. Both of them kept their chances of going through to knock out stage. Czech will be happy with a draw while Poles need a win to do it.
Poland opened the tournament with an 1:1 draw against Greece followed by a same result in their second game against Russia. While a draw with Greece was taken a bad result, one point from Russia was celebrated and gave Polish team good moral. They're in third place in the group with two points while Greece sits in fourth and last with just one. The draw against Russia puts them in a sensitive situation as they now need to win against Czech Republic to make it through to quarter final.
