With the first round of Euro 2012 games over and done with, and hopefully with bulging pockets, we can afford to take a look at the ante post coupons for next season! The market I’m going to be focusing on in this piece is the dreaded Relegation.

England kick off their rather subdued Euro 2012 campaign against a rejuvenated France in Donetsk on Monday night, and in all honesty they couldn’t have wished for a harder game right at the very start of the tournament.
France have been revitalised under the management of Laurent Blanc, who has steered them in the right direction in the last two years since their shameful World Cup 2010 campaign.

Poland face Greece in the first game of Euro 2012 in front of an expectant home crowd in Warsaw on Friday afternoon, and if previous tournaments are anything to go by, we can expect a low scoring encounter as teams try to settle in to this short format competition.
Neither nation are particularly high scoring teams, and Greece are the complete opposite. Easing into the Euro 2012 betting scene, I’m going to bet on goals, or lack of them here.
Yesterday’s daily double was stopped in it’s tracks by a very poor Italy who managed to lose 3-0 to Russia on neutral territory in Austria. The nature of their loss, and the fact that it was their final warm up game before Euro 2012, suggests that they don’t have what it takes to challenge at the highest level, and they should be ignored.
Today sees plenty of African World Cup qualifiers, and this is where I’m going to turn my attention, and I think I’ve found a real peach in Zambia….
Goals Galore has fast become the most popular football bet around, and in response to this Betfred have integrated Goals Galore into their mobile betting app, making it even easier to get your bets on both teams to score.
If you don’t already bet on Goals Galore, then you’re really missing out! Simply choose from a selection of football matches, and if both teams score, you are on to a winner.
After yet another winning Scandinavian football double, the Euro 2012 betting bank is looking increasingly healthy. Without much going on in that neck of the woods today, I’ve checked out some of Tuesday’s international friendlies and this is where my best bet of the day comes from.
Russia take on Lithuania in a warm up game in Switzerland, while Bulgaria take on Turkey in Austria. Neither Bulgaria or Turkey have made it to the Euro 2012 finals, but both will be looking to improve their fortunes for the World Cup qualifying campaign which begins in September.
