BettingOdds.com’s Best Bet for Group E
Group Quadcast @ 10/3 (Paddy Power)
Spain 1st, Poland 2nd, Sweden 3rd, Slovakia 4th
Spain are by far the strongest team on paper in Group E and I'd be very surprised to see them fail to finish top of the pile with all the talent they have at their disposal. The same can be said for Slovakia at the other end; they have some talented individual players but overall I think they're just to weak to challenge the other three sides in the group and can therefore see them finishing rock-bottom.
The real battle will be between Poland and Sweden for that runners-up place. These two sides are very similar in terms of quality but for me I think Poland just have the edge with the free-scoring Robert Lewandowski up front, especially with the Swedes omitting the experienced Zlatan Ibrahimovic from their squad. This 10/3 'quadcast' available with Paddy Power is appealing to me, and it will be my best pick relating to Group E.
