Croatia Odds for Euro 20008

Croatia qualified for Euro 08 by winning Euro Qualification Group E, beating Russia into second.

After beating England twice many will fancy Croatia to do well at Euro 08 but they will be missing star striker Eduardo Da Silva through injury and teams will no longer be underestimating them as England did. They are also better at home (unbeaten in 34 competitive home games) so look a side to take on.

Croatia To Win Group B Odds

Croatia have a fairly tough group against Germany, Poland and Austria and most punters will be backing Germany to win Group B. That is of course the most likely outcome but if Croatia can reproduce their qualifying form then they would be a threat to Germany winning the group.

Croatia To Qualify From Group B Odds

This seems the best bet on Croatia in Group B. They are probably going to have to fight it out with Poland and Austria for second place with Germany the most likely group winners. All three remaining sides are fairly closely matched with Austria also having home advantage but Croatia probably have a few more talented individuals than the other two sides and that could be crucial.

Croatia Total Goals Odds

Croatia probably aren’t going to score too many goals even if they do qualify from their group. They are better at home than away and are also missing their star striker Eduardo Da Silva. They still have a fairly open group to get some goals in though and they will probably end up with about four goals in the competition.

Croatia Top Goalscorer Odds

Now that Eduardo Da Silva is injured this could be wide open and fairly difficult to call. It is not certain yet who Croatia are going to pick up front but that information might not be necessary as Niko Krancjar scores plenty of goals from midfield and may also be looking to advertise his talents to some bigger clubs and he is capable of getting two goals at least.

Croatia To Reach The Final Odds

This is far from likely and the price is actually a little bit on the skinny side. They are going to need some good luck as well as some very good performances and it is not impossible, just improbable.

Croatia Total Points Odds

Croatia will be facing Germany, Austria and Poland in their group games. They are unlikely to get anything from the Germany game but will probably end up with a draw and a win from the other two matches although there is a fair chance they could pick up two wins. Poland are a fair side and Austria are the host nation so it might be safer to back four points rather than six.

Croatia Stage Of Elimination Odds

Croatia have a good chance of making it out of their group but in all probability they would face Portugal in the quarter finals, a game for which they would not be fancied by many. This means Croatia should be backed to be eliminated in either the group stage or the quarter finals, with preference for the quarter finals as they have more quality in their side than Austria or Poland.

Croatia Group Finishing Position Odds

This will be a simple bet for many as Germany are clearly the best side in the group and Croatia seem a fair bit better than Poland and Austria which means Croatia should come second. Things don’t always pan out like that but second place is the safest bet in this market.
