Greece Odds for Euro 2008Greece provided a major shock four years ago by winning Euro 04 but then failed to qualify for the World Cup two years later. They seem to be back to form this time around but they may become too reliant on nicking a goal and trying to hold on to the lead, the tactic that worked so well four years ago.
Greece qualified for Euro 08 by winning Euro Qualification Group C, beating Turkey into second

Greece To Win Group D Odds
Greece will be mostly competing with Spain and Sweden to win Group D and they should face stiffest competition from Spain. It is likely they are going to have to beat Spain if they are going to win Group D and that remains an unlikely but possible outcome. They are a bit of an outside bet but don’t forget they are the current European Champions.

Greece To Qualify From Group D Odds
This is a more realistic bet than backing Greece to win the group and they seem to have a similar chance to Sweden of qualifying for the knockout stages. It is likely to be settled by the match between the two sides and Greece will be popular amongst punters in that fixture.

Greece Total Goals Odds
Greece have never been a side to score too many goals, even when they won Euro 04 they did so by winning each of their knockout games 1-0. It would be a surprise if the same sort of tactics weren’t employed here so don’t expect too many high scoring Greek games. Three or four goals would be the most likely total goal tally for Greece.
Greece Top Goalscorer Odds
It might only take two goals from a single player to be Greece’s top goalscorer and goalscoring duties are likely to be shared between Nikolaos Liberopoulos and Angelos Charisteas. Liberopoulos had a better record in qualifying so it makes sense to back him out of the two front men.
Back Nikolaos Liberopoulos to be Greece’s Top Goalscorer at Euro 08
Greece To Reach The Final Odds
Greece proved they can be a force to be reckoned with when winning Euro 04 so you couldn’t write them off and they arguably have as good a chance as any other side of reaching the final. Things could be tougher this summer than they were in Portugal but that doesn’t mean history won’t repeat itself.

Greece Total Points Odds
Greece will be taking on Spain, Sweden and Russia in Group D and Spain will probably beat them and Greece should be capable of beating Russia on neutral soil. That leaves the Sweden game and this has the feeling of a low scoring draw and that would result in Greece gaining four points.

Greece Stage Of Elimination Odds
Qualification from the group is most likely between Sweden and Greece whichever one makes it to the quarter finals are going to struggle against Italy who would be the most likely opponents. Greece may find themselves being edged out of the group on goal difference as they have never been a side to score too many goals so back Greece to be eliminated in the group stage.

Greece Group Finishing Position Odds
Even if Greece go out at the group stage they should be able to beat Russia and finish above them as Russia are simply not the same side when playing away from home. Greece should be backed to come third in Group D.
