It may not have been the greatest European Championships ever played to this point, but it has certainly been a tournament that has been fun to bet on. We have seen a host of late, late goals, which have surely helped some of you cash some winning tickets. There have also been a number of surprises and disappointments, yet very few teams who have shown that they have wat it takes to win it all. The one exception may well be defending champion Spain, who have won both of their games so far, whilst also failing to concede a goal in the process. They have already booked their ticket into the knockout rounds, but they have perhaps their toughest outing of the tournament still to come when they face Croatia in Group D action on Tuesday afternoon. The betting odds should have Spain as the favorite, but you have to wonder if they will rest some players in this one, or whether they will go all out to win the group and perhaps set up an easier game in the Round of 16.
Taking a Look at the Euro 2016 Soccer Betting Odds on Croatia vs Spain
When: Tuesday, June 21 at 3 PM ESTWhere: Stade de Bordeaux, BordeauxTV: ESPNEuro 2016 Odds: Spain at -½EVWhy bet on Croatia?
Croatia should not have to be relying on this game to ensure passage out of the group stages, as they really should be sitting on 6 points. They started things off with a 1-0 win over Turkey, courtesy of a Luka Modric wonder goal, and then looked to be cruising with a 2-0 lead over the Czech Republic with about 10 minutes to play. The Croatians somehow allowed the Czech to score twice in the closing minutes, and now also have the possibility of fines being levied against them after their fans went a little crazy with flares in their last game. The 4 points that Croatia have should be enough to at least get them one of those best 3 rd place finisher spots, but what will their mindset be like after dropping those two points?FT: #CZE 2, #CRO 2. What a turnaround! Czech Republic come from 2 goals down to salvage a point and leave Group D wide open. #Euro2016
