Euro2012, Group A: Poland vs. Russia   3.20 3.25 2.37 Bet NOW

Co-host Poland will take on Group A leaders Russia in a very important match at the National Stadium in Warsaw. Poland took a point in their opener with a 1-1 draw with Greece, while Russia won over the Czech Republic 4-1.

Poland missed a big opportunity in their opening match against Greece. Robert Lewandowski had given them the lead, but they just couldn't hold their composure into the second half. Greece came out a much more focused unit in the second half, and Poland couldn't handle the situation. They had many chances in the first half, but they couldn't cost them. After the greece-goal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny pulled down Salpingidis in the 16-meter box and was awarded a red card while Greece was got a penalty. The rechanged goalkeeper Przemyslaw Tyton was summoned from the bench to face the penalty and make an excellent save to keep the game at 1-1.

Euro2012, Group B: Denmark vs. Portugal   4.75 3.50 1.83 Bet NOW

The Group B of Death leaders Denmark will kick off against rock bottom Portugal at Lviv, in what promisis to be a very exciting game. With a good result, Denmark would get close to qualifying for the quarter-finals, while Portugal is in a bad situation as they need to beat Denmark after losing against Germany.
The Danes played as a real team against Netherlands that resulted an astonishing victory. That was a brave approach to a game in which they were pegged as heavy underdogs. Netherlands dominated the whole match, but the difference was that Denmark scored from their only chance in the game, whereas Holland missed all of chances. Dannish did their defensive job very good and now will have an eye on a quarter final spot. They will start with the same formation against Portugal with the impressive goalkeeper Andersen who kept a clean sheet against the Dutch attack.

Euro2012, Group B: Holland vs. Germany   2.87 3.40 2.50 Bet NOW

Netherlands must to win their second match against Germany in Group B to remaining their chance to go into the quarter-finals. This match was expected to decide which team would finish top of the group, but after the Netherlands' disappointing result against Denmark, it might well decide whether they even make it through to the quarter-finals.
Netherlands now are in a really bad situation. Despite playing not so bad and dominate against Denmark but they fail to keep their defence and fail to score from any chance they created. With a lot of stars in their squad, Netherlands fail again to show their really quality. The players can play together with solid as a team. Now they must win at least once in the upcoming matches against Germany and Portugal. If they defeat now, combined with Denmark beating Portugal, would put them out of the tournament.
Germany got a win under their belt in their first match with a 1-0 win over Portugal. It took a long time to break down the Portuguese, but a header from Mario Gomez breaking the deadlock in an evenly contested match.

Euro2012, Group C: Italy vs. Croatia   2.25 3.30 3.40 Bet NOW

Italy take on Croatia in Poznan on Thursday. Croatia top of the group C with their 3 points after an impressive 3-1 opening win against Ireland, while Italy scored an 1-1 draw against World Cup Champions Spain. The Thursday's match will be hugely important for them, particularly for Italy, who would be unlikely to recover and claim a spot in the quarterfinals should they lose.
Italy played an 1-1 draw against Spain in their opener match which was an excellent result for the them. Italy showed that the Italian team is not dead as many people predicted. Italy opened the scoring with Antonio Di Natale after an hour but their lead was short lived as Cesc Fabregas equalised 4 minutes later. Substitute Torres was guilty of poor finishing and Spain failed to capitalise on their superior possession and could not get their second goal. Italy earned a well-deserved point by the end of the match.

Euro2012, Group C: Spain vs. Ireland   1.25 6.00 13.00 Bet NOW

Defending champion Spain will face on Ireland in group C at the second round of Gdansk. Spain is tied with Italy in the group-table following an 1-1 draw in their opener with Italy while Ireland sits in the bottom of the gorup after a disappointing 3-1 loss to Croatia. Both sides should to win to enhance their quarter-final chances, as Spain have one point and Ireland have none after crashing in their opener.
Spain started their defence of the title with an 1-1 draw against Italy. Antonio Di Natale gave Italy a lead on an hour, but Cesc Fabregas equalised four minutes later. Spain had more possession and more chances and should have won the game with a substitute, but Fernando Torres missing a few chances to win the game. Many fans were surprised when Manager Vicente Del Bosque picked Cesc Fabregas ahead of Fernando Torres and Fernando Llorente as the ‘number 9', so didn't go with a recognised striker in his starting line-up. However Fabregas scored their goal, I think it was a stupid decision. Many will wonder if Torres or Llorente could have won the game for the La Roja.
