Euro 2008: Group B final round betting

Germany-AustriaMost tournament observers likely assumed that Germany would have qualified by now and that Austria would have absolutely no chance getting through to the next stages. As we all know, football is a funny game. Click here for a free £200 to bet on Euro 2008 with CanbetAfter being surprised by the Croatians, Germany find themselves in a must win situation. I expect that they will be buoyed by the fact that Lukas Podolski will likely figure in this game after shaking off an injury. Bastian Schweinsteiger remains the key German absence as he was red carded in the final minutes of the Croatian match. I expect Miroslav Klose and Podolski to both give the Austrians a rough time. The Germans can win this game, and they know that, and I am backing them to get the result they need.Recomendations:Germany to win 3-0 at 15/2.Lukas Podolski to score twice at 6/1.Croatia-PolandCroatia are where everybody expected Germany to be at this point. I have a feeling that Croatia will rest several of their key players, but I still expect Srna and Modric to factor into the game heavily, either by their presence or by their absence. Croatia also has a handful of players only one yellow card away from a suspension, so I think Poland are in a fairly good position considering the circumstances. They are still dependent on the Austrians stopping the Germans but I expect them to come at Croatia full-force. I think this one will be methodical and slower-paced than the other Croatia matches.The Poles will be looking to score early and I can see them getting frustrated if they go into half-time at 0-0. I expect Ebi Smolarek to pop up for Poland, but I don't think they will be able to secure the win they need to get to the next stage. Recomendations:A 1-1 draw at 5/1. Ebi Smolarek to score first at 6/1. Click here for a free £200 to bet on Euro 2008 with Canbet
