There are some very interesting match-ups headlining Euro 2012 and the geo-political context of many of them adds a bit of spice to the events going on in Poland and the Ukraine over the months of June and July. There's definitely plenty of money to be made and, with England not really expected to outperform, this is a great betting opportunity on a match-to-match basis, as well as a good chance for some high-reward outright wagers.

Poland plays host to continental pariah Greece and the host country go in as the even money favourites to topple the 13/5 champions of 2004. Greece will be hoping for something to bring their country together and put smiles on the faces of many, but the bookmakers favour Poland to get a much needed victory here.
The second game on opening day plays out in a similar fashion as Russia go in at an even money listing to beat out the Czech Republic. The Czechs can be backed at 12/5 with the draw available at an 11/5 price tag.
The big names of European football get underway on June 9th as Holland go into their fixture against Denmark as the heavy favourites with a 4/7 price ahead of the Danes 9/2. This is an intriguing clash and it is sure to attract heavy volume.
Germany vs Portugal should be a fascinating affair with a 4/5 listing available while Cristiano Ronaldo & Co. Are a lengthy 3/1 price. Take a look at the draw, which trades at 9/4, as a more reasonable outcome than many observers might be giving it credit for.
Spain vs Italy opens up affairs on June 10 with the defending champions priced at a solid 8/11 while the Italians can be backed at 7/2. Italy more or less must win this fixture in order to ensure progression to the next stage. Their group is trickier than it looks.
Republic of Ireland also face a must-win situation in their match with Croatia and the eastern European side get the nod at 11/10 while Ireland are trading at 12/5.
France and England both trade at 8/5 to win their match up on June 11th as the draw pays out at 21/10. A draw there would be music to the ears of Ukraine or Sweden who are 13/10 and 15/8, respectively in the follow-up fixture.
