HOLLAND vs FRANCE (EURO 2008)

<2.33> <2.82> <2.90>

I think this match is better left alone. no bet

- Eddy's prediction: you will lose money if you bet on this.

It's funny how Holland are all of a sudden overwhelming favourites for this match, just because Eddy and I tipped them to win against Italy and they came through. We're geniuses. Anyway against France we'll expect Holland to play the only way they know how to - attack - as a win would help secure their qualification immediately. France haven't look inspired of late and they have not found a suitable replacement for Zidane, which is why everyone is cashing in on Holland. While Henry is back for France, he's over the hill and hasn't really been match fit. Anelka sucked and Benzema only managed to get 1 shot on target against a sterling Romanian defence. I'd expect Holland to not only keep out France, but to score many against them as Robben and Van Persie are fit for this match. With the odds at 5.25, going for Holland -1.5 may be a risk well taken.

- Roland's prediction: $5 on Holland @ 2.33 = $11.65
$5 on Holland -1.5 @ 5.25 = $26.25
$5 on Over 2.5 @ 2.15 = $10.75
