The Germans, who played confidently in the group tournament, have become the main candidates for the "Euro2012" cup. The Germans have surpassed the current world champions - the Spaniards - earlier considered favorites of the tournament.
The early exit of the Dutch was a sensation, and Spain, although they secured the first place in the group, demonstrated a lackluster performance. Therefore, the German national team, which showed the most stable game at the moment, is now considered the main contender for the "Euro2012" cup," said Anthony Cousins, a representative of the online betting company "Unibet". "About 36% of all European viewers bet on a German victory, and Lithuanians believe in them even more - 50% of customers from Lithuania bet on Germany."
According to "Unibet," the probability that Germany will become the European champion is the highest at 33%. Betting odds for a German victory are 1-3. The chances of the Spaniards are evaluated slightly weaker - 28% (odds 1-3.55) - the current world champions are predicted to take second place at the European tournament. Portugal and Italy are ranked third and fourth, respectively.
Among the teams that have reached the quarterfinals, Greece has the smallest chance of winning the championship - only 1.6%. Greece will face the tournament favorite, Germany, tomorrow. Also, the chances of the Czech Republic winning the "Euro2012" cup are weak, with odds of 1 to 50. The Czechs will play the quarterfinal match against Portugal tonight.
The European football championship in Poland and Ukraine will continue until July 1, when the final tournament matches will be played.
