Euro 2008 match betting tips- 12/6/08
Well last night was truly memorable to watch, two teams fighting for the ultimate prize……yes it was The Apprentice final!! …and the football wasn’t too bad either!!
Austria v Poland- The two teams have played each other 7 times in total, with Austria winning 3 times and Poland winning the remaining games. Both teams have never played in the Euros before and both will be looking to get their first ever goals in this tournament. Austria played better than expected in the first match against Croatia, just like their co-hosts Switzerland, a little bit of luck in their first game and they could of picked up at least a point.
Euro 2008 betting tips: Well we know that these two teams have never drawn against each other and Poland have scored three goals in the last four matches against Austria. So what does that tell us? A boring 0-0 draw of course!!! No not really, based on these stats lets go with over 2.5 goals in this match at nice odds of 2.6 on Betfair. Also go small on a 3-1 and 3-2 win to Poland, just in case history does repeat itself!! (odds of 44 & 61 wow!!)
UPDATE- Well in the end it was 1-1 draw!!! Not enough to get us the winning overs bet which I thought would come about. But luckily we went small on the score lines as well, it seems like history doesn’t always repeat itself in football!! Never mind we’ve been doing quite nicely with the betting so far and it’s good to learn that it’s ok to have some fun bets as long as they are kept small.
Croatia v Germany- Croatia don’t have a very good record against Germany, with only 1 win out of the 7 games they have played each other. Whilst Germany looked comfortable in the last match against the Polish, Croatia made hard work in the games against the co-hosts. Although playing against the team with home support is never easy and Bilic will no doubt look for major improvements against the tournament favourites.
Euro 2008 betting tips: Germany are the favourites to win this match, I’m in two minds about this game, so I don’t think I’ll be backing a win or lose. Lets go for in form Podolski to score again at anytime and first goal scorer at odds of 3.25 and 7.2 respectively on Betfair.
UPDATE- Well this was the first big upset of the tournament, Croatia 2-1 Germany. A great game to watch (except if you are a Getmany fan and/or Schweinsteiger fan) and full marks to Bilic for getting his tactics spot on. I didn’t want to go against Croatia the team I tipped to win Euro 2008, so I should tipped them to win!!! Podolski is in great form and won out anytime scorer bet on Betfair at odds of 3.25, if only he got the first goal… oh well there’s always next time!!
