During the holiday weekend, my celebrations started yesterday when the Greek national team secured the status of the most penalizing 11m. penalty kicks in the EURO 2012 tournament. Of course, it is not difficult to confirm it when you are the only one, but thanks to a successful penalty prediction, my budget increased by a modest 15 Lt. Of course, such a daily profit is symbolic, but as they say, it is better to have a sparrow in hand than a woodcock in the woods. Although the prediction that the Germans will not miss was not confirmed, it was redeemed by a correct guess of a smaller number of setbacks in the match.
In the third quarterfinal, Spain will play against France. My colleague N. Kesminas predicts that the Spaniards will be disappointed tonight. I agree that Spanish footballers may be saturated with titles, but no one likes to lose, so all my bets are favorable for the favorites, the Spaniards. I will not describe them in detail: we saw everything during the group matches, in which the statistics of the Spanish national team and the style of play did not reveal anything new or unknown.
Balance: 794.80 Lt
Spain ball possession (%) more than 58.5 (odds 1.85). Bet - 40 Lt
If there is a team in the world that can challenge Spain in this statistical category, I do not see that it is France. Of course, French footballers are technical and know how to control the ball, but their main strength is on the wings - F. Ribery or S. Nasri, so trying to match the emphasis on central play as the Spanish team does is the same as signing your own death warrant.
Spain shots on goal total over 8.5 (odds 1.85). Bet - 40 Lt.
In the group stage, the Spanish team hit the goal area the fewest times in the match against Italy. That time, the Spanish national team started the match without a real forward. In the other two group matches, F. Torres was included in the starting eleven. I hope that V. del Bosque appreciated the benefits brought by the forward (not necessarily in terms of goals) and will not return to the scenario of the Italy match today. Especially since the vulnerability of the French defense was demonstrated by the Swedes, whose ball flew into the goal area 7 times. This is definitely not a limit for Spain.
Spain total corners more than 6.5 (odds 3.10). Bet - 40 Lt
So far, the Spanish national team has not been modest in any matches and only against the Italian national team they raised "only" 7 corner kicks. If my first two predictions come true, this one should also be successful.
Fernando Torres will score a goal (odds 3.10). Bet - 10 Lt.
F. Torres is the last hope for me to earn from bets made before the start of the championship, three of which have long expired. Of course, this will only happen if El Nino becomes the tournament's top scorer. I demonstrate my belief and await the goal!
