Euro2008 GroupA Betting Guide

The Czech Republic are odds on to qualify from their Group but 2/1 against to win it. These odds are not good, but there odds of around 16/1 to win the tournament must be worth consideration. Certainly an each way bet to win would give you a run for your money.

Portugal have undoubtedly a great chance, under the profound guidance of Scolari, they might be worth a bet to go one better than in 2004 and win the Tournament. They are around 8/1 to achieve this.

Home advantage is always something to consider when making a bet. But it’s no good throwing money away on Switzerland, who are very unlikely to go very far in the Tournament, so our tip is to take the odds on them beating Turkey in their second game.

Perhaps the best bet to place on Turkey is to back them to finish bottom of the Group. The odds suggest this will happen, but perhaps to be kind, maybe bet on a draw against Switzerland if the odds are favourable.
