Russia Czech Republic Odds : Euro 2012 should kick off with win for Dick Advocaat
The second match of Euro 2012 takes place on Friday evening when Russia and Czech Republic go up against each other in Group A, as Bet365 make Dick Advocaat’s men a value looking bet of around 11/10 to take all three points against a stuttering Czech side.
Russia look to be in great shape going into the tournament and are definitely a contender to go all the way.
Dick Advocaat’s men really showed they meant business when they were 3-0 winners in Italy last time out, a result that surprised everyone.

Advocaat’s side are now unbeaten in 14 matches which shows what good form they are in and why they are the favourites to win Group A.
With Roman Pavlyuchenko and Andrey Arshavin, Russia have two players with experience of playing on the big stage in the Premier League. However, neither really set the league alight so will be looking to prove themselves this summer.

After making the semi-finals of the competition back in 2008, they have the knowhow to make it to the latter stages of the tournament. This time out though, they will want to go one better.
As for Czech Republic, they are a side that not too many people are talking about to go far in Euro 2012, something which could work in their favour.
They needed a play-off to qualify for the tournament but won that comfortably 3-0 over the two legs.
Petr Cech will be between the sticks so they do have one of the world’s best goalkeepers who is sure to be as solid and reliable as ever. Milan Baros and Tomas Rosicky will also add experience to the team.
A defeat to Hungary last time out ended a five game unbeaten run which will disappoint manager Michal Bilek who would have wanted to go into the first game on the back of a win.
With both sides sure to be going out for the win, it could make for a great encounter and it all gets underway from 7.45pm on Friday.
