Spain Odds for Euro 2008Spain have been well backed to win Euro 08 but they have often failed to live up to expectations in the big tournaments. They have some serious firepower this year with David Villa and Fernando Torres up front.
Spain qualified for Euro 08 by winning Euro Qualification Group F, beating Sweden into second.
Every major tournament Spain are amongst the fancied teams but every time they disappoint. This year they seem to have as good a chance as ever with some amazing players in their side. Defensively they have the likes of Carlos Puyol and Sergio Ramos, in midfield they have Cesc Fabregas and up front they have two of the world’s best strikers, David Villa and Fernando Torres. They probably have the best collection of individuals and if they pull their talents together as a team they should be capable of winning Euro 08.

Spain To Win Group D Odds
Spain have a favourable draw in Group D alongside Sweden, Greece and Russia and they are well capable of wining all of their three group games which would see them top Group D. even if they do drop some points along the way they should still be able to win the group so this can be confidently recommended.

Spain To Qualify From Group D Odds
Spain are confidently predicted to win Group D therefore they can be even more confidently predicted to qualify from Group D. This bet would allow them to drop even more points than would be expected and will reward punters who prefer to bet on very likely outcomes at shorter odds.

Spain Total Goals Odds
Spain should be able to score many goals in their group and they are expected to continue that throughout the knockout stages. Spain are fancied to go very far in Euro 08 which will give them more matches than most to rack up some goals. The game against Russia will give them their best chance to get a hat full as Russia are poor away from home and goals against them should put Spain well on their way to scoring ten or eleven goals.
Spain Top Goalscorer Odds
The two players to concentrate on here are Valencia’s David Villa and Liverpool’s Fernando Torres. The bookmakers fancy Fernando Torres to outscore David Villa as Torres has been in brilliant form in 2008 but David Villa has a better international scoring record and will be in the shop window this summer so will be twice as keen to impress.

Spain To Reach The Final Odds
Spain should easily qualify from their group but they do have some tough games once they reach the knockout stages. They will most likely face teams from Group C in both the quarter finals and semi finals and that will make life tough from them as it will probably be two of Italy, France or Holland. Having said that Spain still have arguably the better team and can still reach the final at decent odds.

Spain Total Points Odds
Spain are the stand out side in Group D and it might even be considered an upset if they fail to win all their games. They should beat Russia comfortably as they are usually poor when not playing at home and although Sweden and Greece will be tougher they are simply not in the same class as Spain this year. Nine points should be fairly comfortably achieved for Spain.

Spain Stage Of Elimination Odds
Spain have been placed in the tougher half of the draw for Euro 08 so will probably have to face two of Italy, France and Holland to reach the final but looking at the quality in their squad this looks achievable. Spain have not always been the most reliable in major tournaments but this looks their year and they could finish the tournament as winners.

Spain Group Finishing Position Odds
It would be an upset if any of the other Group D sides are able to finish ahead of Spain so they should be confidently backed to finish the group in first place.
