Croatia Odds Shorten At Online Bookmakers

Croatia are now fifth favourites with online bookmakers to win the European Championships in Austria and Switzerland.

Croatia beat Poland 1-0 last night to make it nine points from nine in Group B and they can now be backed at 8/1 with online bookmakers 888Sport.com to win Euro 2008.

A goal from Ivan Klasnic secured victory for an under-strength Croatian side and helped bring down their odds in the process.

Earlier in the tournament, punters could have got longer odds on Slaven Bilic's team winning the competition but wins over Austria, Germany and now Poland have proved that they are contenders for the title.

Turkey await Bilic's men in the quarter-finals, and they can be backed at 20/1 with the same online bookmakers.

Fatih Terim's team secured their passage through to the last eight after victories over Switzerland and Czech Republic. They finished second in their group to 9/2 third-favourites Portugal.
