England face Ukraine in their final Group match on Tuesday night knowing that only a draw is needed to see the side through to the Quarter Finals. The England Euro 2012 Odds suggest that England will get the result they need but a draw is unlikely to be enough to secure top spot in the group and if England finish second in Group D they will face the winners of Group C, Spain.
The England v Ukraine Odds have England available at 5/4 at the time of writing which means they aren’t exactly hot favourites to beat a team that France beat 2-0 last week. Those odds seem pretty generous considering the bookies often price England up on the short side in anticipation of patriotic money pouring in from English punters. These sides have met just the four sides and England have won three of those matches although Ukraine won the most recent meeting in which Ukraine had home advantage. The fact that there have been no draws between the sides mean that could be the least likely result at 12/5.
If Ukraine are to win at odds of 11/4 then the most likely result could be 1-0 to Ukraine at 11/1 and the bookmakers agree, that is the shortest priced winning correct score for 1-0. Interestingly every single match between these sides has been 1-0 at half time so England fans will want to take a look at England to hold a 1-0 lead at the interval at 7/2 whilst those who are bit more pessimistic can take 9/2 that Ukraine are 1-0 up at half time. The team that has been winning at half time has always gone on to win the match as well in this fixture so England/England could be an appealing bet at 5/2 whilst Ukraine/Ukraine is 11/2.
The return of Wayne Rooney in this match will be a huge boost to England’s chances At Euro 2012 and with England available at 12/1 to win Euro 2012 at the time of writing anyone who has already backed England to go all the way will want a big performance from the Man Utd striker. Rooney is 11/2 to open the scoring against Ukraine whilst he can be backed at 13/8 to score anytime. The most likely Liverpool player to score in this match is Andy Carroll according to the bookies, despite his position in the side being far from guaranteed because of Rooney’s return Carroll is 15/2 to score first and 23/10 to net at any point in the match. Steven Gerrard will attract plenty of interest at 10/1 to score first and 4/1 to score anytime, he will certainly be more popular than former Liverpool forward Andriy Voronin who is only a slightly bigger price than Gerrard at 12/1 to score first and 9/2 to score anytime.
