Euro 2008
Holland worth Backing at 3/4
Euro 2008 ~ Holland v Russia, Saturday, Live on ITV 1, k/o 19:45pm
Holland enter the knockout stages of the competition as many peoples favourite’s for the crown. Successive hammering’s of Italy and France was followed by an equally impressive 2-0 victory by a second choice team over Romania, in a game where they had supposedly nothing to play for.
Marco van Basten has moulded a team in his own image, with power and poise up front being supported by a remarkably strong defence. They are the top scorers so far with 9; although they have been shared all around the team as Robin Van Persie and Wesley Sneijder are the team’s top scorers with 2 each.
Russia were thankful for the return of Andrei Arshavin as he scored the second goal in the 2-0 victory over Sweden to clinch qualification. Eager to get back into action for the first time since he led Zenit St. Petersburg to victory over Rangers in the UEFA Cup Final back in May, he was inspirational against Sweden as he scored one and set up another to seal their quarter final place.
Holland are favourites with best priced PaddyPower going 3/4 about them to continue their outstanding form in this match. It looks a price worth taking. Russia are best priced at 67/16 outsiders with 10bet.com to cause an upset in Basel.
