Euro 2012 Group A Betting: Greece
Champions against all the odds eight years ago. May relish the role of underdogs again.
Greece
Odds to win group: 5/1 (PaddyPower)
Odds to qualify: 13/8 (Bluesquare)
Underestimated again?
We’ve been here before; the 2004 European champions weren’t given a prayer then either. In a supposedly weak group, boss Fernando Santos has only seen his side lose once in his first 20 games; suddenly the 15/4 (bodog) on Greece finishing second looks intriguing.
Capable of an upset?
Another reason why the Greeks should perhaps be taken a little more seriously is that they pushed Croatia into second spot in qualifying after beating them in Prague 2-0. They are 5/4 (PaddyPower) to win exactly 1 match in Group A; Poland and Czech Republic beware.
Tough to breakdown?
Only five goals conceded in 10 qualifying matches shows where the strength of this side lies. They are 6/5 (BetVictor) to let in under four goals in their three guaranteed fixtures.
