Ireland Odds To Qualify For Euro 2012 Give Them a Chance

The Republic of Ireland will fancy their chances of qualifying for Euro 2012 following the draw over the weekend as they look to banish the memory of Henry's handball in the Stade De France, Giovanni Trapattoni took the team to within a whisker of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa but attentions now turn to Poland and the Ukraine in 2012. Ireland have been drawn in Group B for qualification alongside Russia, Slovakia, Macedonia, Armenia and Andorra in a reasonably kind draw, the Russians are the number one seeds but failed to qualify for the World Cup and look to be beatable on current form.

Similar can be said of the Slovakians who look average on paper despite qualifying for the 2010 World Cup, Ireland will be fighting it out with Russians and the Slovaks for a qualification berth over the next couple of years. The team that comes out on top will go straight to the Euros and the 3/1 with Paddy Power.Com about the Irish winning their Qualification group does look decent value at this stage. Ireland certainly improved through their World Cup Campaign and despite just missing out they will go close again if they can maintain that form with Trapattoni moulding a good side. Of course, if Ireland miss out on top spot then they could be in for another dreaded play-off match which is sure to bring up painful memories for the players so they will be eager to go through the direct route.

Nigel Worthington and his Northern Ireland team have been handed a daunting task once again as they look to qualify for Euro 2012, they will come up against the likes of Italy, Serbia and Slovenia who all qualified for the World Cup. Worthington has just signed a new contract at Windsor Park but they face an up hill battle as reflected in their odds of 20/1 with PaddyPower to win Group C, those odds look very skinny and offer little value at this stage with the team lacking the experience needed. However, we take the Republic to put their World Cup demons to rest and qualify for Euro 2012 with a strong qualifying campaign behind them.
