12 of the 16 teams have now played in Euro 2008 and there’s no doubt that Holland have been the most impressive. Their storming 3-0 win over Italy on Monday night has prompted Sportingbet into cutting Marco Van Basten’s side into 5/1 to win Euro 2008. Germany remain favourites to win the tournament after their victory over Poland on Sunday but predictably it’s Italy and France who are on the drift.
Outright Winner
Germany 3/1
Holland 5/1

Tonight’s Games
Group D opens it’s doors with tournament hot-pots Spain taking to the stage for the first time. This is an incredibly open group and it’s not easy to predict the two sides who will progress to the Quarter-Finals.
Spain 3/5 Draw 12/5 Russia 9/2
Pre-tournament second favourites open their account tonight against Guus Hiddink’s Russia side. Spain look to have arrived in the Alps with their strongest squad for some time but can they live up to the hype. Russia, on a high after Zenit St Petersburg’s UEFA Cup win, are many punters idea of a good each way bet.
Greece 15/8 Draw 9/5 Sweden 6/4
The defending champions start their campaign in Salzburg tonight as they take on a Sweden side with plenty of question marks next to it. The return of Henrik Larsson may inspire the Swedes but does it indicate a lack of depth in the squad? Greece qualified with ease accruing 31 points and may be underrated at the prices.
