Germany have hardly put a foot wrong so far during this tournament and have won every single game they have played, however during their 4-2 victory over Greece in the quarter final it became clear that the german defence is breachable.

Italy scraped through their quarter final match against England which they eventually won on pens, but they were the much better side over the whole game with Andrea Pirlo the stand out player and the italians will certainly fancy their chances in this one again.

Coach Joachim Löw made a number of changes to his starting lineup in the quarter finals against Greece which shocked a lot of people and although we should see a majority of the players that had been involved in the starting lineup before the greece match there are still one or two places that at this moment remain a mystery.

Bastian Schweinsteiger will start despite having an ankle problem, but the big question is who will start up front as it seems at this moment in time the general consesus is that Miroslav Klose will retain his place up front in the starting lineup, which I do find a bit strange considering how Gomez is currently the joint top goal scorer in the competition.

Coach Cesare Prandelli will definitely be without Christian Maggio who is suspended and both De Rossi and Abate are struggling with muscle problems picked up during the marathon match against Enlgland, however both are likely to start.

Thiago Motta is back in contention for a place and he might be handed it in place of Riccardo Montolivo and bad boy Mario Balotelli should also retain his place up front having behaved himself

Thursday night’s Semi Final from the National Stadium, Warsaw will become the 31st meeting between the two countries over the years and all the results of those previous games can be seen in our head to head statistics table shown below.

The last time the two sides met each other was during a friendly at Signal Iduna Park, Dortmund back in February 2011 where the score finished 1-1, with goals coming from Klose and Di Rossi.

Portugal have been very much the surprise team of the tournament so far and will surely give Spain a much harder game than France did during the quarter finals as with players like Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani both starting to peak, the Spain defence will have plenty to do on Wednesday evening for a change.

Spain were in complete control against France during the quarter final and won the game without really having had to try that hard, but they will be fully aware that this game against Portugal presents a much more difficult challenge and it will be interesting to see how they cope with the attacking natured Portuguese.

Coach Paulo Bento has been able to start all four previous games with the same starting eleven, but with Helder Postiga out with a hamstring injury it means he will have to make a decision on whether Hugo Almeida or Nelson Oliveira will replace him.

Coach Vincent del Bosque will probably stick with the same formation and starting eleven that were so dominant in victory against France, which again means Fernando Torres having to make do with a place on the bench as Cesc Fabregas takes the striker role.

Wednesday evening’s Semi Final will become the 35th meeting between the two countries over the years and all the results of those previous games can be seen in our head to head statistics table shown below.

England have peformed above expectations so far during this tournament by remaining unbeaten and winning their group, but the performance on the pitch hasn’t really been inspiring to watch and Roy Hodgson’s side were extremely lucky to see Ukraine’s goal not given for not crossing the line, when replays show it cleary did.

England need to start stepping it up now and players like Wayne Rooney, Ashley Young and Steven Gerrard must try to press the Italy defence more than what we have seen so far as this Italy side will be extremely confident of getting the job done having already held Spain to a 1-1 draw.

Italy have been a joy to watch so far during this tournament and rightly deserve their place in this quarter final show down against England. Coach Cesare Prandelli has not yet tasted defeat in a competitive match since his appointment back in 2010 and with his strikers in excellent scoring form the Azzurri are going to be very difficult to overcome.

Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade Chamberlain will be hoping to secure the right wing spot for this game as James Milner has looked out of his depth in recent matches.

Wayne Rooney and Danny Welbeck will lead the attack up front for the Three Lions with the defence protected by Steven Gerrard and Scott Parker.

Giorgio Chiellini is definitely out for the Azzurri as he continues to recover from a thigh problem. Thiago Motta missed training with the team and is obviously a doubt as he is suffering from muscle spasms.

Mario Balotelli could be handed a starting position up front alongside Cassano having scored an excellent volley against Republic of Ireland in the previous game.

Spain were very close to going out of this tournament in their game against Croatia, but a couple of changes by coach Vicente Del Bosque made the difference and a world class lob over the Croatian defence by Cesc Fabregas resulted in Jesus Navas to score the only goal of the game and with it this quarter final show down against France.

France were brought down to earth with a bit of a bump in their final group qualification game against Sweden, where they were comfortably beaten 2-0 and that defeat will certainly have had an impact to their confidence on all the French players preparing for this game.

Cesc Fabregas could again make a late appearance, but will start on the bench and Fernando Torres looks likely to again lead the attack up front at the expense of Fernando Llorente who is yet to be given a chance to prove himself.

Philippe Mexes picked up his second booking against Sweden and as such is suspended for this game, Laurent Koscielny will come into to replace him.

Franck Ribery and Samir Nasri both missed training with the team midweek and are obvious doubts for this game and Yohan Cabaye will again miss out as he continues to recover from a thigh injury.

Welcome and thank you for stopping by to read our Greece v Germany Betting Preview where we have also provided you with the latest Team News, Head to Head Statistics, Lineups, Predictions, Tips, Odds, Free Bets and Money Back Specials associated with the match.

Greece booked their place in this quarter final with a 1-0 victory over Russia in their very last game of the group stage, a result that shocked many people as Russia were one of many people’s dark horses for the tournament.

Now coach Fernando Santos’ side face Germany who have been the best team of the tournament and this will arguably be Greece’s toughest game so far.

Germany head into this quarter final game having beaten everyone put in front of them and are obviously now one of the favourites to win this tournament.

Coach Joachim Low’s squad has an abundance of world class players and for them not to negotiate their way past Greece would no doubt become the shock of the tournament so far.

Captain Giorgos Karagounis who was very much the hero having scored the only goal of the match in the 1-0 victory over Russia last time out is suspended along with Jose Holebas and this is obviously a major blow to the squad and chances Greece may of had.

Jerome Boateng will come back into the side having served his one match suspension and will replace Lars Bender and this looks like being the only change to the side that has so far remained unbeaten during this tournament.

Friday night’s game at the Gdansk Arena will become the 9th meeting between the two countries over the years and all the results of those previous matches can be seen in our head to head statistics preview shown below.

Stadion Narodowy — Warszawa
Match : Czech Republic – Portugal Live stream,Preview,prediction
Referee:‬ H. Webb‎

The first European Championship quarterfinal match bring us teams which started this competition with opening defeat, but they managed to pass the group stage and can now even reach the semifinals.

Czechs in the first Euro 2012 game suffered from Russia with a 4-1, but then managed to win twice, Greece and Poland, and won the first place in group. Portugal defeated by Germany with minimal 1-0, but after that they managed to beat Denmark and the Netherlands and finished as the second in Group “B”.

This will be their third match and third at the European Championships. The first time they played 1996. in England in the quarterfinals and then the Czech Republic celebrated 1-0 with goal of Poborski. At the last European Championship these two teams played in the group stage and Portugal won 3-1 with C.Ronaldo brilliant goal and two assists.

The Czech Republic along with Rep.of Ireland was the biggest outsider of this championship and the only thing which slightly went in their favor was a slightly weaker groups in which they find themselves.

After the first match and what they presented against Russia , only reinforce the impression that they are total outsiders, and that even in the group stage they have no chance.But,Cezch surprised,and were much better already in the second round when managed to score two goals in the first six minutes to Greeks and won that match,as well as in the third round against the host,Polish,when,once again they shown character and won with 1:0.

Coach Bilek in this match had to play without the “brain” of this team, Tomas Rosicky, which was a huge handicap for them,but it seemed to only further motivate the Czechs who were able to score over their hero in this championship, midfielder Jiracek.

Kolar has changed Rosicky and that was the only change, while striker Baros again got a chance and trust,which he paid off with assist for the goal.

For this quarter-finals, again Rosicky os doubtful and will probably start on the bench. The rest of the team are definitely not going to change, because Cezch have no other injuries, and they managed to avoid cards suspension.

Cezch probable lineup : Cech – Gebre Selassie, Sivok, Kadlec, Limbersky – Hubschman, Plasil – Jiracek, Kolar, Pilar – Baros.

Regardless to the strength of the group,in which Portugal was, nor to the Portuguese were given some big chances for their placement in the quarterfinals, but,unlike the Czech they still were not outsiders.

Certainly their chances fell of even further after the opening defeat against Germany.However, their game show some promises,and already in the second round they were much better and they managed to defeated Denmark, although they had little luck and again showed some weakness.

In both these matches,Ronaldo has been below any level, so his “explosion” was expected in the third round,and match with the Netherlands .And exactly this happened.Ronaldo woke up, scored both goals and was the best player in the match, and the Portuguese managed to win that match,although the Dutch took the lead.

They are specific and unique ,as they in all three matches started in the same composition, which only proves that the coach Paulo Bento knows what he is doing and has great confidence in his team.

On the championship they came without any major problems with injuries, and in the group stage they have played without these problems. Cards suspension they avoided also, so we can be certain that in this fourth match for them,coach Bento will sent the same lineup in to play.

Portugal probable lineup : Rui Patricio – Joao Pereira, Pepe, Bruno Alves, Fabio Coentrao – Veloso – Raul Meireles, Moutinho – Nani, C.Ronaldo – Helder Postiga.

In the quarterfinals, which few could expect,the Portuguese are the team which have an advantage, because they raise their form. Portugal is complete,and objectively have the stronger team with Nani and C.Ronaldo who “woke up” while the Czech Republic is without Rosicky, and if nothing else this might be a winning key.Portugal to win.

The quarter final knock out stages are upon us and first up is the Czech Republic versus Portugal and having watched both side’s progress during this tournament Portugal are the side that has caught my attention the most as with Cristiano Ronaldo having now found his goal scoring form, he is going to be very difficult to stop.

The Czech Republic won the group to reach this quarter final, but apart from their opening day defeat against Russia, they never really came out of second gear in their two remaining matches and got the job done with relative ease, but this game against Portugal is going to be a lot more difficult and their toughest game of the tournament so far in my opinion.

Captain Thomas Rosicky is a major doubt for this game having had to return home for treatment to his achilles injury and coach Michal Bilek has already gone public saying that he doesn’t expect the creative midfielder to take any part in thursday night’s game.

Coach Paulo Bento has no injury or suspensions so looks likely to stick with the same starting eleven that were comfortable winners over Holland last time out, which will see Postiga keeping his role up front.

These two nation’s have met each other on eleven different occassions over the years, twice during previous European Championship’s and below you can see all the results of those previous matches.

The last meeting between the two sides came back in Euro 2008 where Portugal came away comfortable 3-1 winners on the day, Cristiano Ronaldo getting his name on the score sheet during that victory.

Sweden’s defeat against the Ukraine and England has now eliminated from the tournament but coach Erik Hamren will still want his players to win this game so they can at least leave the tournament with some pride intact and from what we saw against England they just might cause a bit of shock in this one.

France will be desperate to win this game and score a few goals along the way in the hope to secure top position and avoid Spain in the quarter finals and if they play anything like they did in the second half against the Ukraine then they would certainly have every chance of doing so.

Erik Hamren has no injury or suspensions to his squad and will most likely play the same side and formation that were 3-2 losers against England last time out.

Christian Wilhelmsson and Markus Rosenberg will also be hoping to get involved in the action in the second half having both came on as substitutes against England.

Yann M’Vila will come into the starting lineup and replace Yohan Cabaye who picked up a knock during the 2-0 victory over the Ukraine.

Patrice Evra will again miss out as Laurent Koscielny continues to impress his manager and Jeremy Menez should also keep his place up front having scored in the previous game.

Tuesday evening’s game at the Olympic Stadium, will become just the 18th meeting between the two nations over the years and all the results of those previous matches can be seen in our head to head statistics table shown below.

The last meeting between the two sides was a friendly back in August 2008 at the Nya Ullevi Stadium in which France won 3-2 with goals coming from Benzema and Govou.

Welcome and thank’s for stopping by to read our Euro 2012 England v Ukraine Betting Preview where we have also provided you with the latest Team News, Head to Head Statistics, Lineups, Predictions, Tips, Odds, Free Bets and Money Back Specials associated with the match.

Roy Hodgson’s Three Lions need just a point to secure qualification through to the quarter finals having successfully navigated their way past Sweden in the previous match coming from 2-1 down to eventually win 2-3.

That fightback will have provided a massive boost to the whole squad and each and every England player taking to the field on tuesday evening will be fully focussed on getting the job done.

Join hosts of the tournament Ukraine are also in with claims to qualify for the quarter finals as a victory against England would be enough to send them through.

With home advantage and a packed out Donbass Arena with Ukraine supporters they certainly have a very realistic chance indeed and if they were to score the first goal of the game it would be a very hard road back into the game for England.

Theo Walcott is a major doubt for England having had to pull out of training with the team early due to tightness around his groin area.

Wayne Rooney will get his first start of the tournament having been suspended for the opening two games and will partner Manchester United team-mate Danny Welbeck up front.

Andriy Shevchenko is a huge doubt having missed training with the team due to a knee injury and this is obviously a major blow to all Ukraine fans.

The Veteran striker will under take a late fitness test at some point during tuesday afternoon to see if is fit enough to start.

Tuesday night’s game at the Donbass Arena, will become just the 5th meeting between the two countries over the years and all the results of those previous matches can be seen in our head to head statistics table shown below.

The last meeting between the two sides came back in October 2009 at the Dnipro Arena during qualification to the South Africa World where the Ukraine won the game 1-0 thanks to Sergey Nazarenko.

Italy only need a victory to guarantee their place in the quarter finals, unless Croatia and Spain their game in a 2-2 score draw or higher, which looks rather unlikely and with the way Italy have played during this tournament this does look another difficult evening for all Republic of Ireland fans.

Republic of Ireland have been eliminated from the tournament and with their manager a certain Giovanni Trapattoni, I can’t really see the irish putting up too much of a fight to stop Italy in this one.

Coach Cesare Prandelli is unlikely to change too much to the side that has drew their opening two games of the tournament, but with Mario Balotelli having picked up a knock during saturday’s training session, Di Natale might get his chance to start the game up front along side Cassanno.

Shay Given’s final match for his country as he has announced his retirement from International football after this tournament and one that will become Damien Duff’s 100th appearance, so a very emotional game for all irish fans.

Monday evening’s match will become the 12th meeting between the two nations over the years and all the results of those previous games can be seen in our head to head statistics table shown below.

The last meeting between the two sides was back in June 2011 in a friendly match at the Stade Maurice Dufrasne, Belgium in which Republic of Ireland won the game 0-2 with goals coming from Keith Andrews and Simon Cox.

Spain can progress through to the quarter final stage as group winners with a draw as long as Italy don’t score more than four goals past Republic of Ireland which would be good news for England fans as they would be facing the runners of this group if they managed to beat Ukraine on Monday evening and win the group.

Croatia could make it through to the quarter finals with a draw, but having only a plus two goal difference over Italy who are expected to beat Republic of Ireland they would really need to win this game to absoloutely guarantee their place and that is obviously going to be extremely difficult indeed against the current European and World Champions.

Coach Slaven Bilic is unlikely to make changes to the side that drew 1-1 against Italy, and the only change that would be made is if Nikica Jelavic who missed training with the team Saturday due to illness didn’t recover in time.

Arbeloa, Xabi Alonso and Fernando Torres are all on yellow cards and would miss the quarter finals match if they received another yellow card during this game, although coach Vicente del Bosque will probably start with the same team that beat Republic of Ireland 4-0 last time out and make changes as required.

Monday night’s game will become just the 5th meeting between the two countries over the years and all the results of those previous matches can be seen in our head to head statistics table shown below.

The last meeting between the two sides came back in a 2006 friendly at the Stade de Genève, Switzerland where Spain came away 2-1 winners with an injury time goal by Fernando Torres securing the victory.

A game both sides must win if they are to have any hopes of progressing through to the quarter final knock out stage of the tournament and as a result we should be in for a very exciting and entertaining game full of goals.

Portugal eventually got the job done against Denmark last time out despite Cristiano Ronaldo missing an absoloute sitter when one on one with the Danish keeper and that victory has now setup a mouth watering final group stage match against Holland who having fluffed more chances than a box of Monopoly contains in their opening two games will certainly be out to put right the wrongs of their previous two games.

A fully fit squad is available for coach Paulo Bento to choose from and it looks likely that the same starting eleven that beat Denmark will again take to the field against Holland in this one.

No injury concerns or suspensions for coach Bert van Marwijk, but having seen his side struggle to score goals Robin Van Persie looks likely to be joined up front by Huntelaar as the combination worked well in the second half of their 2-1 defeat by Germany last time out.

Sunday night’s match at the Metalist Stadium will become the 11th meeting between the two countries over the years and all the results of those previous games can be seen in our head to head statistics table shown below.

The last meeting between the two sides came back in the 2006 World Cup where Portugal won the match 1-0 in a game that saw four people being sent off.

Denmark will need all three points if they are to have any hope of making it through to the quarter final knock out stage and will be hoping that Holland can do them a favour in their final group game against Portugal.

Germany are all but through to the next round as they would have to lose this game by at least a two goal margin and with the way they have performed in their opening two games, that looks virtually impossible.

Veteran Dennis Rommedahl will miss this final game of the group stage having not managed to recover in time from the hamstring problem that forced him off in the 3-2 defeat to Portugal last time out.

Niki Zimling was also replaced during the Portugal game due to a calf problem and he also looks like missing this important final group game fixture.

Jerome Boateng is suspended for this game having picked up two yellow cards already during the tournament, Captain Philipp Lahm looks likely to be moved over to take up the right back position and Benedikt Howedes will come in at left back.

Sunday night’s final group game for both sides at the L’viv Arena will become the 18th meeting between the two countries since 1927 and all the results of those previous matches can be seen in our head to head statistics table shown below.

The last meeting between the two sides came back in August 2010 in a friendly match at the Parken National Stadium in Copenhagen with the score that day finishing 2-2.

Euro 2012 Greece v Russia Betting Tips Preview and Team News.

Greece are currently bottom of the group a table on just one point, but can still qualify for the quarter finals stage of this tournament with victory over Russia.

Russia currently sit pretty at the top of the group a table, but are far from assured progression through to the quarter final stage of this tournament as if they lose this game and Poland beat Czech Republic then Russia will find themselves eliminated.

Greece Team News :- Coach Fernando Santos was pleased with his sides fight back against Czech Republic last time out and looks likely to stick with the same starting eleven that took to the pitch in that game.

Russia Team News :- Coach Dick Advocaat seems to have seen sense and will replace Alexander Kerzhakov who has struggled to hit a barn door in the opening two games let alone get his shot on target.

Roman Pavlyuchenko will come in to replace him and link up with Arshavin, other than this change though, Russia will play the same starting eleven that has been seen in their opening two matches.

Saturday night’s game will become the 11th meeting between the two countries over the years and all the results of those previous matches can be seen in our head to head statistics table shown below.

The two sides last met each other in a friendly match back in November 2011 at the Stadio Georgios Karaiskáki in Greece where both sides battled out a 1-1 draw.
