France Euro 2012 Odds

Two-time European Champions France will play in their sixth successvie Finals this summer. They have had to re-build both their squad and reputation following a dismal showing at the World Cup but after a decent qualification campaign they look in good shape heading into the tournament.

France have been placed in Euro 2012 Group D with England, Sweden and co-hosts Ukraine. It is a difficult group but if France get off to a winning start against England on 11th June 2012 they will be confident of progressing through to the knock-out stage.

The odds for France to Win Euro 2012 are around 12/1 and this could represent very good value as they are always a team to watch in major tournaments.
