For a long time Spain was the team that couldn’t perform on big tournaments. After their win at Euro 2008 that was a closed discussion, and to show the world their best they did it again at the World Cup 2010 in South-Africa. In the final they beat Holland after extra time by 1-0. For Euro 2012 they are top favourite again, but Holland will look out for revenge.
Qualification is not going to be a problem for Spain, because they already won their five matches. Unibet is giving 3.75 to 1 odds for Spain to become champion at the Euro 2012 and 1.50 to 1 odds for making it to the semi finals. That last one is looking like a surebet, but in football you will never know. Can Spain book their third big win in six years or are we going to see a new winner at the Euro 2012 in Poland and Ukraine?
When they saw their draw in this qualification stage Scotland was focussed on the second place behind Spain. After four matches this is going to be difficult, because Czech Republic is already in front five points. But Scotland is not out of chances, they only played four matches while Czech Republic already played five of their eight fixtures.
For their great fans we hope that Scotland can make it to the play-offs, so they can dream of going to Euro 2012 in Poland and Ukraine. Unibet got 4 to 1 odds for Scotland to finish in second place behind World Champion Spain.
In a group with Spain, Czech Republic and Scotland the national team of Lithuania didn’t expect that they would have a shot at qualification for Euro 2012. After five matches we see they managed to get four points and that is not going to be enough to make it to the top of this group. It was a big suprise when they beat Czech Republic, but they blew their chances when they lost 2-0 to Liechtenstein.
If you think Lithuania still has the chance of becoming second you should bet on the 12.50 to 1 odds that Unibet is giving.
Liechtenstein is probably one of the smallest countries in Europe and that is why they can’t get anything going on the pitch. Liechtenstein never got anywhere in those qualification stages and it’s kind of a miracle that they booked one victory in this campaign. That won’t bring them to Euro 2012, but at least they can say they won a match.
In the upcoming months they will play against Lithuania (away), Spain (away) and Scotland (home), so it is going to be really difficult to book another succes.
If we think of Czech Republic, we think of names like Pavel Nedved and Jan Koller. Those players are retired so it is time for their new players to become as big as their heroes. The national team should focus on making it to the play-offs, because they can’t win the group with leader Spain in it. With nine points out of five matches they have a good shot, but Scotland is not far away if they win their fifth match.
On Unibet you can bet on Czech Republic to become second behind Spain and you are getting 1.30 to 1 odds for this bet. For winning Euro 2012 Unibet is giving you 75 to 1 odds.
