It is always hard to tell how the opening match will go, as both teams will be careful not to lose points. On paper, Poland is best and given their current form and the fact that they are having a home crowd backing them up they are favorites. Greece will probably play a defensive match, as we know them, and hope for some counter attacks. Personally, I see this match as a draw.

Netherlands is clearly favorites for this match, if you compare the two squads. The Dutch’s almost has a profile for each position on the pitch, and with deadly strikers as Robin van Persie and Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, this is not going to be an easy match for Denmark. The Danes has a great fellowship and a believe that they can create results. However, I don’t see this as enough against a well playing Netherlands. The Dutch’s will win.

Germany and Portugal are not an easy bet. The Germans has a team of well playing players on each position, and are favorites. However, Portugal has Ronaldo. A match can’t be won by one player, but if the Portugueses manage to put their captain in play, with the right passes etc. he can win this for them. Germany, on the other hand, has a couple of players who can be decisive, and that is why I believe that we will see a Germany win by two goals.

EURO 2012 Group C

On paper as well as in real life, Spain is favorites. There is no doubt that Italy will have something to say in this match, but Spain is just too strong. Spain has been the leading team in Europe, if not the world, the last couple of years, and the match against Italy is going to be a win. It is perhaps even worth, taking a chance and betting on Fernando Torres as first goal scorer.
