Portugal Odds for Euro 2008Portugal have become a force to be reckoned with once again over the last ten years and with talented players such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Simao Sabrosa they are well capable of improving on their runners up spot in Euro 2004.
Portugal qualified for Euro 08 by finishing runners up to Poland in Euro Qualification Group A.
Portugal have some of the best individuals at Euro 08 including arguably the best player in the world, Cristiano Ronaldo. Portugal score plenty of goals from midfield and their only weakness might be the lack of world class striker. They should have enough talent to make it to the semi finals at least, especially as they have a slightly favourable draw.

Portugal To Win Group A Odds
Portugal have a good opportunity to win Group A having been drawn against Czech Republic, Switzerland and Turkey. They are capable of getting nine points with a bit of luck and they can be confidently backed to come out on top in Group A.

Portugal To Qualify From Group A Odds
It is almost impossible to see two sides from Group A finishing above Portugal which is what has to happen for Portugal not to qualify from their group. They should pick up three points against Turkey and at least three more points against the other two sides which would be more than enough for qualification.

Portugal Total Goals Odds
Portugal score plenty of goals and have some great attacking talent so it seems inevitable that they will score many goals. Add to that a decent draw and a probably semi final or final placing they should be one of the top scorers in the competition. Double figures should be seen as a minimum and if they reach the final it could be as many as twelve or thirteen.
Portugal Top Goalscorer Odds
Although Portugal have some good strikers most of their goals tend to come from midfield. Cristiano Ronaldo is the obvious one as he has been in phenomenal form this season and he should continue this into Euro 08. He should be Portugal’s top scorer but also watch out for Simao Sabrosa who scored almost as many qualifying goals as Ronaldo.

Portugal To Reach The Final Odds
Portugal should get a decent draw all the way to the semi final which is where they are most likely to face Germany. That will be a tough but winnable game so they can be considered the most likely side from the top half of the draw to reach the final.

Portugal Total Points Odds
Portugal should be backed to pick up the maximum nine points in the Group A betting. Czech Republic are most likely of the Group A sides to give them a good test but Portugal look particularly strong this year and none of the other sides in the group are in the same class.

Portugal Stage Of Elimination Odds
Portugal are fortunate to be in the weaker side of the draw which means they should definitely reach the semi finals. It is there they will probably take on Germany if there are no major upsets by that stage and that is tough to call. Germany might be slightly flattered by their World Cup performance (as host nation) so Portugal can beat them before losing in the final.

Portugal Group Finishing Position Odds
Difficult to see Czech Republic, Switzerland or Turkey giving Portugal too much of a fight for top spot in the group so have a low risk bet on Portugal finishing the group in first place.
