EURO 2004 GROUP A BETTING ODDS

Looking at what bookmakers across the board reckon about Group A, only two teams are in with a realistic chance of finishing first.

They are of course Portugal and Spain. The tournament hosts head the betting just with most firms going around 6/5, although failing to beat any nation to qualify for Euro 2004 hardly inspires much confidence.

If Spain play anywhere near their best then not only will they have an excellent chance of finishing top, but a major possibility of going all the way. 6/4 is the best price at the time of writing available for the Spanish to upset their neighbours.

Greece did extremely well to qualify for the finals, but to qualify for the knockout stages would surely be considered a major surprise.

Finally Russia made it to Portugal thanks to defeating Wales in the play-offs, although their place was only confirmed recently after the drug ban surrounding one of their players.
