Bet 365 Bonus Euro 2012 Czech Republic vs Portugal

 The first quarter final fixture is now upon us and it looks like Cristiano Ronaldo and Co. have drawn a relatively straightforward fixture against the Czech Republic as they look to secure their progression through to the semi finals. The Portuguese left it late and needed some heroics from their superstar in order to get here but they will certainly fancy their chances having avoided many of the tougher teams left in the competition.

The Czechs will consider Portugal not a bad draw either, but they will have to stifle their fluent offence and ability to break well on the counter. Set pieces will be absolutely crucial for the Czechs and, if they can notch an early goal, they may just be able to grind it out.

If Ronaldo finds space he can be very tough to carve out of a game and the Czech Republic will need to be at their sharpest.

This type of match has a 0-0 look to it, the Czechs would be more than happy to take this into extra time, one would think. Bet365 has a stellar offer where they're refunding losing wagers on bore draws. The wager applies to correct score, half-time/full-time and scorecast bets; so if the match goes into extra time with no goals scored, then you're getting a refund – even if your bets won. Back draw/draw at around 4/1 or a 0-0 correct score at 8/1 and know that you're going to get your money back even when your bet pays.

It's not a bad wager, especially for those who fancy this one to be a tight and nervy affair.

It appears as though the bookmakers expect Portugal to run away with this one, as they've posted a slim 8/11 outright price on them getting through to the next stage of the competition. You can back the Czech Republic to progress in regular time with a 4/1 listing.

In regards to the outright qualification price, this includes extra time and penalties, you can get Portugal at a very short 1/3 while the Czech side pays 9/4.

You can also garner a refund from Bet365 by wagering on the first/last goalscorer and anytime goalscorer market – so go ahead and throw down an opening goal from Cristiano Ronaldo at 3/1 with the knowledge that a 0-0 result would see you get a refund.

This is also a great opportunity to lock in a bet on a defender grabbing a goal. You can generally get prices well into the 20s and 30s. These tend to be the deciders in tight affairs like this one.
