Russia Odds for Euro 20008Russia are a much better side when playing at home in sub zero temperatures and the form they have showed recently when playing away from home is nowhere near good enough to suggest they will even make it out of their group.
Russia qualified for Euro 08 by finishing runners up to Croatia in Euro Qualification Group E.

Russia To Win Group D Odds
Russia have often seemed a better side on home soil than when playing away, proven in their two qualifying games against England where they looked a poor outfit at Wembley when being beaten 3-0 but a completely different side when winning at home 2-1. They will have to at least produce their home form here to have a chance of winning Group D.

Russia To Qualify From Group D Odds
Far more likely than Russia winning the group but still a bit of a long shot. Russia are arguably the poorest side in Group D and they will need to be at their absolute best if they are to qualify from Group D.

Russia Total Goals Odds
Russia have some decent attacking players but they may not get too many opportunites in their group. Spain are a very good side and well capable of keeping a clean sheet whilst Greece too have a strong defence. Their best chance of goals may come against Sweden but in total it would be a surprise if they score more than twice in the whole tournament.
Russia Top Goalscorer Odds
Alexandr Kerzhakov and Roman Pavlyuchenko are likely to provide the main goal threat for Russia and if either of them gets a goal or two they are likely to be Russia’s top goalscorer. Pavlyuchenko put in some impressive performances in qualifying, particularly when changing the game against England in Moscow and he looks the one to be on.
Back Roman Pavlyuchenko to be Russia’s top goalscorer at Euro 08
Russia To Reach The Final Odds
As one of the outsiders for Euro 08 it would be a massive shock if Russia were to make it through to the final. Not only do they have it all to do just to qualify they also have been placed in the more difficult half of the draw for the knockout stages. They will need Dutch master tactician Guus Hiddink to work his magic if they are to have a successful tournament.

Russia Total Points Odds
Judging by Russia’s Jekyll and Hyde performances in qualifying they are going to struggle at Euro 08 as they will have to play all the games away from home. They might scrape a point from somewhere but the value bet has to be to back them to finish with no points whatsoever at a decent price.

Russia Stage Of Elimination Odds
This has to be the group stage as we are predicting a poor performance from the Russians this summer.
Back Russia to be eliminated at the group stage at 3/5 with Sporting Bet
Russia Group Finishing Position Odds
If Russia continue to play as they did in qualifying when away from home then the only position they are going to finish is fourth. Sweden and Greece both have better squads and they can put them to good use to make sure Russia finish bottom of the group.
