EURO 2012 Pre Match Analaysis: Poland vs Greece


Tomorrow 8 June at 23:30 PM (GMT+8), the opening ceremony of EURO 2012 will be held at National Stadium of Poland, following by the first match between the host, Poland, and Greece.

The hype of EURO has almost reached its climax as the first match is going to commence tomorrow right after the opening ceremony. Poland will start their mission at EURO 2012 with the first obstacle, Greece. Obviously, Poland has the advantage edge overGreece. For one thing, they are playing on the home ground with a lot of fan’s support. On the other hand,Poland has reasons to be confident, as their recent form is better in comparison to Greece.

Some fun facts, Poland have a winning streak of 3 matches and haven’t lost in their last 6 games. When playing at home, Poland have not lost to Greece in their last 3 encounters.

Let’s look at more details:



In the last 5 encounters, Greece was only able to get 1 win as compared to Poland’s 3 wins. The most recent encounter was a draw.

Concerning the recent form against other teams, Poland is also ahead. They had a winning steak of 3 overLatvia, Slovakia and Andorra. Meanwhile, Greece only managed a minimum win against Armenia, and a draw against Solvenia.

Concerning number of goals, it seems that both teams have tendency to score over 1.5 and less than 2.5. Let’s take a look at 36BOL’s odds (Early market) for this game.



It seems that Over 1.5-2 is the most expected score line for this game as it’s priced at lowest odds 1.780 while Over 2 and Over 2-2.5 are priced at 2.053 and 2.087 respectively. For Under, the market is in favor of Under 2 as it’s only priced at 1.870.

Poland clearly has the advantage in this game, that’s the reason they are the team giving handicap starting from 0-0.5 at odds 1.740 up to 0.5-1 at odds 2.429.  

*Recommendation: While Poland have a good head to head starting against Greece, however competitive football is a world away from International Friendly Match. That is why Greece with their experience and a run of 10 unbeaten competitive matches should not be overlooked. The market is still in favor of Poland, as they have the host advantage in their hand. The match is likely to be a draw, but Greece’s Asian Handicap +0-0.5 looks like an interesting bet.  

Other markets will be released as the game about to start so stay tuned. Visit 36BOL Sports for more betting opportunities.

36Sports’ prediction: 1-1.
