Euro 2012 Group A Betting: Poland
Have won their last three friendlies without conceding a goal to enter the competition on a high.
Poland
Odds to win group: 13/5 (PaddyPower)
Odds to qualify: 4/5 (WilliamHill)
Likely runners-up?
We’re offered less than evens money on Poland progressing from this generous looking group so it looks smarter to take the 12/5 (Coral) on the hosts finishing second. With Russia regarded as the superior outfit, this would still constitute an achievement for boss Franciszek Smuda.
A mixed bag?
Having qualified automatically, Poland’s true level is hard to assess but most of their friendlies over the past 12 months have been tight. They could easily end up with a win, a loss and a draw for 4 points - a 10/3 shot with Bet365.
National treasure?
Much expectation sits on the shoulders of Bundesliga star Robert Lewandowski to fire his side into the knockout stages. Surely too much to expect him to claim the Golden Boot, but 11/4 (PaddyPower) to top the Group A goal charts is reasonable.
