The final matches of the first round take place tonight as Spain meet Greece for a match which is totally irrelevant for the final standings of the group, while Sweden and Russia fight for the last place in the Quarter Finals.
Spain are clear favorites to win the match with odds of 18\25 @ William Hill and the only question left is whether Aragones makes the same mistake he did two years ago cutting the team's momentum by switching the starting line up for the last group stage match. Obviously, some players needs to get some rest, but playing against Greece, who finished their way at the competition last week, should not be too difficult even for the substitute players. Maybe, just maybe, today will see Greece start playing football and fly home with some pride. Well, this won’t happen according to BetUknow community. 75% of them think Spain will win the match, very much like Greece top predictors. The community top predictors and Spain top predictors are very confident at Spain's win with 85% and 90% respectively.
The second match sees Sweden and Russia collides; with a draw suffice to give the Swedes the ticket to the Quarter Finals. In my opinion, these two teams are quite equal and whatever happens Holland will be too big for them in the Quarter Finals. The bad news for Russia is they must play offensively in order to score. The good news are that Arshavin is eligible to play, after serving 2 match ban, backing up disappointing Pavluchenko. The community, including its top predictors, bets on Sweden to qualify to the next round, with only Sweden's top predictors thinking Russia will be the ones playing Holland.
