Euro 2012: Latest Odds

England are a best price of 12/1 (Ladbrokes) for next summer’s European Championships after a 1-0 victory over Sweden left them unbeaten in 2011. There will be a few sore heads in Ireland today after the nation partied through the night following the 5-1 aggregate win over Estonia in the play-offs. The Republic are 66/1 (Bet365) to win Euro 2012.

Fabio Capello has enjoyed a pleasing few days with success against the Scandinavians following on from another 1-0 triumph, against world champions Spain on Saturday. Tuesday was another disappointing night for Vicente del Bosque who watched his side draw 2-2 with Costa Rica; only two goals in the last seven minutes spared Spain more serious embarrassment. However, these unimpressive results have come in friendlies, and the bookies still make Xavi, Iniesta et al 5/2 (Boylesports) favourites to win yet another major trophy.

Gemany are 7/2 (Coral) for glory in Poland/Ukraine, and they pushed their claims with a convincing 3-0 victory over World Cup finalists Holland on Tuesday night; but the Dutch are still much fancied at a best price of 7/1 (PaddyPower).

It was a great night for Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal who, like Ireland, needed the play-offs to secure their passage through to the finals. A 0-0 first leg draw against Bosnia and Herzegovina was followed by a thrilling 6-2 thrashing by the hosts in Lisbon. Portugal are 20/1 (Coral) to brush aside all the competition next June. Euro 2004 shock winners Greece are rank outsiders, as they were back then, at 80/1 with Boylesports.
