Euro 2008 betting tips- 9/6/08

So far during the tournament in each match we’ve seen all the favourites win their matches, under 2.5 goals scored and  4 clean sheets with only one team scoring.  So what does this information tell us about the betting on Group C the ‘group of death’?  Not much!! Group C should bring us some of the best matches at Euro 2008, what the tournament has been really missing so far is a thrilling match with loads of goals, maybe the France match will bring this?

Today it’s:

Holland vs. Italy

France vs. Romania

I’ll be mainly concentrating on the France match today, I would like to see Holland win today, although I can see Italy winning this match by 1-0. 

France vs. Romania- France have quite a few injury problems, Henry looks like he is going to be missing for the Romania game along with maybe Viera and Ribery.  Ribery is the player I think France will miss the most, alot of the good plays come through him and if he doesn’t play then Romania could pick up at least a point.  The furthest the Romanians have ever got in the Euros was the quarter finals in 2000.

Euro 2008 Betting tip- France are missing alot of potential key players  and Romania having never won an opening match in the Euros.  Romania are a massive 5.5 on Betfair and 5.0 on William Hill to win this match, but I’m not sure if they have what it takes to pick up all three points.  Lets go with the draw at 3.4 currently on Betfair or lay France at 1.9 odds.

UPDATE:  Well winning bet number 4 comes in for us!! There were very few exciting moments in this game(except for the final whistle of course!!), but I’ll take a boring game and winning bet over exciting any day.  At odds of 3.4 that’s the biggest winning odds tipped so far in the tournament, lets hope there a many more of them to come.   I had a feeling for a 0-0 scoreline, if only I backed that too!!  So now we can sit back and watch a potential cracking 2nd game (or animal lovers can take their profits and watch Springwatch on BBC 2).
