Victory Against Holland Will Send Romania Into Last Eight

If Romania can do what France and Italy failed to do - beat Holland on Tuesday night - they will book a place in Euro 2008 quarter-finals. Judged purely on performance so far that would appear unlikely, as the Dutch have slammed in seven goals, and played the most attractive football so far. However, having already qualified, Marco Van Basten's side may take their foot off the gas, and they will shed no tears if by losing they also knock out France and Italy. Adrian Mutu has more to prove than most having missed a penalty against Italy that would have sent them through. PinnacleSports.com price the Romanians favourites 2.200 (-0.5)* with Holland 1.769 (+0.5)* - a market priced to less than 102%.

World Cup Finalists' Fate Out of their Hands

The Euro 2008 fate of World Cup finalists, Italy and France, is out of their hands ahead of the final Group C fixtures. A victory for Romania will send them both out, irrespective of the result, so they must hope Holland hold form. A draw is unlikely to good enough, given both sides heavy defeat to the Dutch, so both teams must go for the win, ensuring a cracking game. Neither the French or Italians have produced their best form, and on the night it could well be the side that enjoys a bit of luck that progress, in a World Cup final re-run. PinnacleSports.com price Italy slight favourites 1.794 (0/scratch)* with France 2.160 (0/scratch)*.

Swedes & Russians Face Off for Quarter-final Place

Sweden must pick themselves up after the disappointment of a conceding a late goal against Spain, which makes the job of reaching the final eight that bit harder. The Swedes must avoid defeat against Russia, but if successful will face tournament favourites, Holland. Zlatan Ibrahimovic - scorer of two goals - is a fitness doubt, but should play. Russian produced a crucial winner against Greece, which leaves them needing another victory against Sweden to progress after losing their opening fixture. PinnacleSports.com price Sweden 1.893 (0/scratch)* with Russia 2.040 (0/scratch)* - a market priced to less than 102%.

Greeks Playing For Pride Against Buoyant Spaniards

European Championship holders, Greece, are already eliminated from the 2008 tournament after successive defeats. Otto Rehhagel's side are therefore playing for pride against Spain, looking to at least score a consolation goal. Having already qualified as Group D winners, Spain are resting at least three key players - Puyol, Cazorla and Silva - while coach, Luis Aragones, may look to protect his lethal strike-pairing of Torres and Villa. Aragones will understandably leave out those players on yellow cards, but will not want to disturb his side's positive momentum. PinnacleSports.com price Spain favourites 1.763 (-0.5)* with Greece 2.210 (+0.5)*.
