Tonight I rate the Portugal team as better than the Germans.
Portugal were able to field a weakened side against the Swiss in their last game, as a result will be fresher. The Germans laboured in their 1-0 win over Austria and could have lost that game if the Austrians had a decent finisher.
2.5 Offered by all these bookies on the Portugal win.
Euro 2008 betting has now been whittled down to the last eight teams, so the quarter-final line-up is now complete. Both the Euro 2008 hosts are out, leaving most of the power-houses of European football to face-off for an all important place in the semi-finals. The quarter-final action begins on Thursday night, and PinnacleSports.com are offering Euro 2008 Asian Handicaps priced to 102%, three-way 1X2 and Over/Under total goals to 103% as well as range of interesting Euro 2008 quarter-final game markets, such as total corners, red & yellow cards and goal-scorer options.
Euro 2008 Quarter-final 1: Germany v Portugal (June 19)
The first quarter-final of Euro 2008 sees Germany play Portugal in Basel on Thursday night, for what is an intriguing encounter between the 1996 winners and 2004 finalists. Germany came into the tournament as favourites with PinnacleSports.com, but having finished second in Group B, they now take a more difficult route. The Germans are now priced 7.000* for outright success behind the Portuguese who are now 6.000* to lift the Euro 2008 trophy on June 29th. Portugal have a more fluid passing game with the likes of Ronaldo and Deco, but lack an out-an-out striker. Germany are more solid defensively, have proven strikers, but lack the service. PinnacleSports.com are offering 1.96/1.96 style Asian Handicaps, and live-betting for the game.
Euro 2008 Quarter-final 2: Turkey v Croatia (June 20)
Four years ago at Euro 2004 Greece captured the neutral supporters’ vote, emerging as unlikely winners. This time around, following two last gasp victories, Turkey have become everyone’s favourite Euro 2008 under-dog. It would be some story were Fatih Terim’s side able to make it all the way to the final, having looked down and out after opening with a 2-0 defeat to Portugal. They now face Euro 2008 Group B winners Croatia, but are without first choice goalkeeper Demirel, sent off the amazing conclusion to their 3-2 win over the Czech Republic. Croatia bring a 100% record into the last eight, and have shortened in the Euro 2008 outright betting at PinnacleSports.com to 9.000* with the win over Germany of particular significance. The Croatians have grown in confidence, and coach Slavan Bilic had the luxury of resting key players in the win over Poland. PinnacleSports.com are offering 1.96/1.96 style Asian Handicaps, and live-betting for the game.
