Italy Odds for Euro 2008Italy are the current World Champions and are likely to be very tough to beat as they always are at the major tournaments.
Italy qualified for Euro 08 by winning Euro Qualification Group B, beating France into second.
Italy are always a force to be reckoned with and seem to have a good chance of following up their 2006 World Cup win. They are a side that looks to take a lead then defend it and most of their games will be low scoring with a clean sheet for Italy. Whatever happens Italy will do well in Euro 08 but their style of play will require a little luck.

Italy To Win Group C Odds
Italy have a very tough group against France, Holland and Romania but they should still be able to win the group as they are the sort of side that is arguably more comfortable playing against better sides. The harder group simply means they are a better price to win the group.

If all goes as expected you would expect Italy to qualify as the current world champions.

Italy Total Goals Odds
Italy have never been a freescoring side. Even when they won the World Cup two years ago they only scored twelve in seven games and they had a much easier draw on that occasion. This time around they are likely to score far fewer and would probably only score seven or eight goals even if they get to the final. It could be slightly fewer if they don’t get that far.
Italy Top Goalscorer Odds
Italy have many players who can score goals and it would be a surprise if four or five different players didn’t make it onto the scoresheet this summer. The main man to consider though is Luca Toni who scored most of their goals in qualifying and is the main focal point of their attacks. He is comfortable in the air and on the ground and that is a great asset for a striker.

Italy To Reach The Final Odds
Italy should be able to reach the semi finals at the very least but if they make it that far they are likely to come up against Spain which could give them their hardest test possible. On their day they are capable of beating anyone so they can still be backed fairly confidently to reach the final.

Italy Total Points Odds
Italy are bound to drop points somewhere in the toughest group of them all. It is difficult to say which team they will lose to but it might be worth backing them to gain six points from beating two of the sides and losing to the other. It could be worth a saver on seven points though as they are well capable of making it through the group unbeaten.

Italy Stage Of Elimination Odds
If Italy can win the group their quarter final game should not be too difficult with Sweden or Greece their most likely opponents. However in the semi final they are probably going to play Spain which is an extremely tough game. They might win it but chances are they could be found out so if you are a follower of Spain back Italy to be eliminated in the semi finals. If you aren’t a big fan of Spain then it could be best to back them to be the losing finalists.

Italy Group Finishing Position Odds
This is a difficult group but that means the price on Italy to win the group is rather generous and it looks worth a bet as they are by far the most solid side in the group.
