Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo, thanks to a brace against the Netherlands, finally got off the mark, and now the Real Madrid star is actually looking a decent prospect in Euro 2012 Top Goalscorer odds at online bookmaker BetFred. Ronaldo, after failing to break the back of the net in the first two group matches, secured the win that sent Portugal through to the quarter final stage, where they will now meet the Czech Republic. So the draw has ended up being favourable to Portugal, and a chance at a semi final place really looks a good prospect. Portugal look a very solid outfit, very organised and are showing a great team spirit. This means that Ronaldo should get more chances and as he is only trailing to scorer Mario Gomez at the moment by one goal, Ronaldo has the ability and influence to still make a big impact at Euro 2012. Ronaldo is now trading at 4/1 second favourite in BetFred Euro 2012 odds, and could well be worth a punt. With his free kick executions, and pace to catch out defences on the break, then the latest Euro 2012 top goalscorer odds look good value for him.0

Germany’s Mario Gomez, who failed to score in Germany’s final group match, still sits on three goals, and with Germany still looking like the best team at the tournament, and with more still to come, should still get the games under his belt to win the Golden Boot. Gomez is currently trading at 15/8 favourite in BetFred Euro 2012 odds to finish as top scorer at Poland and Ukraine 2012. The only other player left in the tournament who is really make any positive move in the market, is Chelsea and Spain striker Fernando Torres. Torres hit a brace against Ireland, his only strikes of the tournament so far, means that he is still in contention to have a crack at the title. His fellow countryman Cesc Fabregas though is also sitting on two goals, and the former Arsenal man could be in greater favour than Torres when it comes to the serious business end of the tournament. So Fabregas, out at 14/1 in the current Euro 2012 top scorer odds, could be worth an outside shot still.
