The Swiss lost a heartbreaker to the Euro 2008. That means that the Swiss, their backs up against the wall as it is after their loss to the Czechs must now face a fired up Turkey team without their captain.

The Turks played okay in their 2 – 0 loss to Portugal in their first game of Euro 2008. They were overmatched, no doubt about it, so a 2 – 0 loss really doesn’t mean anything. But they will have to play much better on the defensive side to keep a team like Switzerland, pretty much playing in front of their home-crowd, from staying out of the goal.

Here are the BetUS Euro odds in this match.

Switzerland - ½ + 120 + 115 O 2 - 105 O 1 - 150

Turkey + ½ - 140 + 225 U 2 - 115 O ½ - 175

Draw + 225

Switzerland pk - 170 O 1 ½ - 200

Turkey pk + 150 U 1 ½ + 165

Switzerland + ½ - 165 O 2 ½ + 160

Turkey - ½ + 225 U 2 ½ - 190

Like Tuesday’s other match between the Czech Republic and Portugal, the BetUS online wagers from which to choose from.

The success of both Turkey and the Swiss will come down to the impact that the Swiss will feel without Captain Alexander Freil. Without Freil, the Swiss might find it hard to keep their game up versus the Turks.

The Turks should come out with a lot of pride in this match. To me that means that if they are going to upset any team in Euro 2008 they need to do it in this match. The Swiss will be without their captain. The Turks are underrated.

This sets up as an upset match to me. I’m taking another swing by making an online wager on the Turkish to upset the Swiss at the money-line odds of + 225.
