We are a week away from the big tournament, and I for one can't wait to sink my teeth into the upcoming matches. I have had a great run lately and hopefully I can keep it going into the European Championship. This will also be the first Euros since 2000 that I will not attend....taking care of the newborn .
Prior to going through the teams I wanted to share some overall trends;
- The first match for each team in the group stage tends to go UNDER 2.5
- The second match of the group stage also favours the UNDER
- The final and 3rd match of the group stage favours the OVER
- Draws are very prevelant in the 1st and second games as teams are playing not to lose at first.
- Old and undisciplined teams do not do well
- Even in a neutral environment fan support counts
- Please throw out the FIFA rankings as they are useless
- Do not put too much emphasis in recent friendly results

In my opinion the most difficult group to call. I find Russia to be overrated and Greece underrated as far as odds are concerned. The Czechs & Poland are priced right. I see plenty of low scoring games and draws in this group.

Most likely the easiest group to call in my opinion. Spain and Italy are priced right. Ireland has little chance but will keep it very close in their games as will Croatia. I will back the dogs if the price is right here in individual games on an asian handicap.

The "DRAMA" group. Huge value here on all the teams involved. England overrated Ukraine & Sweden spot on, where as France is underated. I will be fading England & backing France.

We all know fans matter and they like to cheer for the underdogs in a neutral case. Here is my table of the most travelling and ticket buying fans at the EUROS;

Not to be nitpicky - but - in the last 3 euro tournaments going back to 2000, there were 6 draws out of 24 games in the first round.
In the last 2 WC's there were 7 draws out of the 32 games in the first round.
Thats 13 draws out of 56 games in the first round of the last 5 major tournaments - or about 23%.

A rare poster who is looking at relevant information.
I was considering France as a dark horse to win myself but have yet to pull the trigger. Their group is very winnable. Once you get to the Q finals anything can happen.
You should try a couple of group doubles parlayed.
