France Euro 2008 Odds

France Odds for Euro 20008

This is France’s first major tournament since the retirement of Zinedine Zidane and they have to prove they can still be a force without him.

France qualified for Euro 08 by finishing runners up to Italy in Euro Qualification Group B.

France haven’t quite seemed the force they were a few years ago and with question marks over Thierry Henry’s form it may not be the best time to be backing France to win Euro 08.

France can be backed at 9/1 to win Euro 08 with Bet365

France To Win Group C Odds

France face a tough task to win Group C as they must face Italy, Holland and Romania (even that will be a tough match). They not the most likely winners of Group C but they are a fair enough price to do so and anyone fancying France could place worse bets on them this summer.

France can be backed to win Group C at 2/1 with Stan James

France To Qualify From Group C Odds

Most people expect Italy to win Group C which would leave France and Holland most likely fighting it out for the runners up spot. Which of those two gets the runners up spot in that instance may come down to the match between the two sides. France would fancy themselves in that and backing France to qualify from Group C is a much likelier bet than them winning the group.

France Total Goals Odds

France have plenty of goalscoring talent in their side but they don’t seem to score as many goals as that talent would normally justify. If France have a good tournament they could score as many as seven but it might be better to go a bit lower as they are going to have one of the toughest quarter finals and semi finals if they make it that far so four or five goals could be a more likely total.

France Top Goalscorer Odds

There are many players who could take this, Thierry Henry, Nicolas Anelka or Frank Ribery are just three. Henry is going to be the bookmakers favourite because he is without doubt the most talented but he doesn’t always seem as good at these big tournaments as he is at club level and he hasn’t had the best season so Frank Ribery could be the value call as one of the best attacking midfielders in the tournament and he isn’t shy at shooting either.

Back Frank Ribery to be France’s top goalscorer at Euro 08 at 6/1 with Bet365

France To Reach The Final Odds

France’s easiest game in the whole tournament is probably going to be against Romania and they qualified for the tournament as group winners so they are going to be a tough nut to crack. They are going to have to be in absolutely top form if they are going to make it to the final of Euro 08 and they are probably just short of a value price. That having been said there will still be plenty of backers and it still remains a strong possibility.

France can be backed at 7/2 to reach the final with Paddy Power

France Total Points Odds

This one is pretty tough to call. France have plenty of talent but they also have a few question marks to answer. Their bigger players often don’t perform to their ability when on the international stage and if that happens again they could struggle in a very tough group. A bet on four points seems a good idea as that allows a win, a draw and a loss against the opposition in any order. It is very possible they will lose to Italy, draw against Holland and beat Romania but this bet covers any combination of those results.

Back France to get 4 points in Group C at 11/4 with Paddy Power

France Stage Of Elimination Odds

France are obviously a capable side but they may be in a transition phase where their experienced players are in the twilight years of their careers and their young players don’t quite have the experience yet. Considering this and the tough sides they must face in the group the best value could be to back them to be eliminated in the group phase.

Back France to be eliminated at the group stage at 7/5 with Sporting Bet

France Group Finishing Position Odds

If France fail to qualify then they are obviously going to finish third or fourth. The most likely of those two is obviously third place as there is little doubt they have more talent than Romania but Romania are no mugs, they finished above Holland in their qualifying group. Take a risk and back France to finish bottom of their group at very rewarding odds.

Back France to finish 4th in Group C at 11/2 with Blue Square
