It's Group C action all the way as Ireland kick-off their Euro 2012 campaign against Croatia! With Spain and Italy making up the rest of this group the pressure is on from the very start for both sides, neither can afford to lose this one! The Irish fans will surely play their part with a "Sea of Green & Gold" around the stadium in Poznan. An Irish opening win would also mean a party long into the Polish night!

Republic of Ireland vs Croatia - Our Betting Prediction:
Trappatoni's Republic of Ireland face Croatia in a tricky opening game in Group C. If the Irish are to qualify for the knockout stages then you feel this is simply a must win game for them with Spain and Italy looming after this. An Irish victory really depends on which Croatia turn up here with Slaven Bilic's men being predictably - unpredicatable!
From a betting perspective, the bookies have Croatia as favourites for this match which is not surprising as they have the quality of players to trouble Ireland. We fancy "Trap" will have the Irish defensively well drilled with a hope of hitting Croatia on the counter attack. Add in the factor that both teams can't afford to lose this game we are going for a close fought draw! We will also be paying close betting attention to Croatia in-play on this game, if they come out firing against the Irish then a few goals could be on the cards!
Match Result: 1-1 DRAW
First Goalscorer: Robbie Keane (Ireland)
Under / Over 2.5 Goals: UNDER
HalfTime/FullTime: DRAW/DRAW
