The Republic of Ireland return to Euro 2012 action on Thursday night, and the bookmakers are lining up with special promotions and free bet offers for the clash with World and European Champions, Spain.
Ireland’s return to major international tournaments ended in disappointment as they lost their first group game at the weekend. Giovanni Trapattoni’s men were no match for Croatia on the night, losing 3-1, and they must take something from this game to have any hope of springing an upset and reaching the quarter-finals.
Spain, meanwhile, failed to shine in their opening match but they did register a 1-1 draw with Italy – despite starting with no strikers. Whether or not Vicente Del Bosque takes the same approach for this game is anyone’s guess, but the no matter what the Spaniards will be confident of getting the result they need to take one step closer to the knockout stage.
