Republic of Ireland Odds
Ireland have only qualified on two occasions for the European Championships. The first was back in 1988 when they were knocked out in the group stages and the second was a few months ago after they beat Estonia 5-1 on aggregate in the Euro 2012 play-offs.
Ireland were just egded out by Russia in Qualification Group B but after beating Estonia in the play offs they will be full of confidence going into Euro 2012. However, they have been handed a tough draw after being placed in Euro 2012 Group C with defending champions Spain, Italy and Croatia. It is crucial that they get off to a good start against Croatia on June 10th in order to have any hope of progressing.
Ireland's record marksman Robbie Keane currently tops the Top Ireland Goalscorer betting market.
The chances of the Republic of Ireland winning Euro 2012 are quite slim at odds of around 66/1.
