11th June 2008 – Grp A: Switzerland vs Turkey
Switzerland – In the opening game, iInspirational captain Alexander Frie had a couple of good efforts on target only to be denied by Peter Cech and came off with a knee injury min before HT, cruelly spelling the end of his Euro 2008 campaign. The Swiss played a better game in the first half but had a few shots on target denied by Peter Cech. The Swiss were unlucky to have 2 penalties denied by the referee.
Turkey – The Turks displayed a few moments of Brilliance against Portugal, but they were mostly outclassed and outplayed by the Portugese.
Anyone for roast Turkey over red hot Swiss fire?
Prediction – Both teams will be even more passionate to get their Euro campaign on a positive note in a game that both cannot afford to lose if they were to make it through the group stage. I am gunning for the co-host to come out on top with the home crowd behind them. Score: Switzerland 2-1 Turkey.
Market odds: Switzerland (-1/4, +95), Turkey (+95)
