Greece Euro 2012 Odds

Greece stunned the football world in 2004 when they became European Champions after defeating host nation Portugal 1-0 in the final. Greece had pre-tournament odds of 100/1 as they sprung the biggest shock in European Championship history. They were unable to repeat this success in Euro 2008, losing all three games as they finished bottom of their group.

Greece have been placed in Euro 2012 Group A with co-hosts Poland, Russia and the Czech Republic. The group is very open and the 2004 winners will definitely fancy their chances. Fernando Santos' men will play Poland in Warsaw on Friday 8th June 2012 in the tournament's opening match.

Greece qualified for Euro 2012 in impressive fashion, winning seven of their ten games as they topped their group without losing a single match. Due to their shock win in 2004 Greece will definitely be worth keeping an eye on and at the moment they have been handed odds of roughly 66/1 in the Euro 2012 Betting.

Key Players

The Greeks have no stand-out players but they work hard as a team to crave out results. They have an inspirational captain in Giorgos Karagounis and striker Angelos Charisteas who has 25 goals for his country.
