Under-21 European Championship football betting - England vs Greece

The England Under-21s face Greece tonight in the qualification stages of the European Championships. Both teams will be eager to win, as Greece currently top the group on thirteen points, with England two points behind with a game in hand. Tonight`s hosts will also want to improve on their showing in their last match, a 0-0 draw with Lithuania.

England are favourites for the match at 8/15 bet £15 to win £8 profit), leaving Greece as underdogs at 13/2 with Bet365. Both sides have won three of their last four matches but while England are unbeaten so far, Greece lost their last match 2-1 away to Portugal. The draw is priced at 11/4 and Greece have drawn two of their four away matches in this competition.

The bookmakers believe a comfortable home win is on the cads and have made 2-0 and 1-0 wins for England as the favourite scores for tonight`s match at 6/1. A 1-1 draw, the score in both of Greece`s away draws, is 15/2 with Skybet and a goalless draw, England`s last result, is 11/1. A surprise 1-0 win for the visitors is available at 20/1.

Andy Carroll of Newcastle has been made joint favourite to open the scoring tonight at 9/2, along with Chelsea`s highly-rated forward Daniel Sturridge. Wigan`s Victor Moses, signed from Crystal Palace in the January transfer window, is 15/2 with Bet365 to do the honours. Greece`s best chance of scoring the first goal of the game is seen as being Konstantinos Mitroglou of Olympiacos at 10/1, who has hit fourteen goals in twenty-eight Super League games.

England are 13/10 with Paddy Power to lead tonight at both half-time and full-time and  7/2 with Ladbrokes to win the match despite drawing at half-time. The bookmakers offer 11/2 that both halves end in a draw and Greece are available at 14/1 to be winning at both the interval and the final whistle. Draw/Greece is priced at 16/1.

The Under-21 European Championships will be held in Denmark in 2011 and England will be looking to win for the third time. Their most recent success came as far back as 1984.
