The Euro 2008 has been a great spectacle for the world to watch this year. Many teams have proven that they are among Europe’s finest even when their Euro 2008 odds did not. A very important match in the 2008 Euro Cup will take place on Monday June 15th. Germany is going to take on neighbor and tournament host Austria. Both teams will need this crucial win if they hope to advance to the quarter finals this year. The oddsmakers at Sportsbook.com currently have Austria set as the
In Austria’s last game they barely managed to get a tie against Poland. They were awarded an extra time penalty kick, which was taken by Ivica Vastic. He sniped the goal home and Austia received the 1-1 draw. They know that they will need the full 3 points against a tough German squad on Monday to move on past the group stages. They seemed to play very well in their first match against group leader Croatia. They went down early 1-0 on a penatly kick and this ended up being the final score. Currently Euro 2008 odds at Sportsbook.com have Austria as a huge +900 underdogs heading into Monday’s big Euro 2008 game.
Germany will head into Monday’s Euro 2008 game poised and ready to strike with favored Euro 2008 odds. They began Euro 2008 with a positive start when they beat Poland by a score of 2-0. Lukas Podolski lead the way for Germany as he had both tallies. He also managed to find the net in Germany’s second game against Croatia. Although it was not enough because Croatia already has a 2-0 lead. The Germans lost this tough game 2-1. Nevertheless, a single point against Austria would allow Germany to advance to the quarter finals for the first time since they won the tournament back in 1996. A key stat to take into account is that Germany has won the last four meetings by a combined score of 17-4. The two most recent meeting were in May 2002, when Miroslav Klose had a hat trick for Germany, as they won 6-2. The next one was in June 2004, when Germany also won 3-1. Germany will be to strong for Austria to handle and I like them to win this match easily and advance to the quarter finals.
