Friday's Euro 2012 action gets underway at the National Stadium in Warsaw where Poland take on Greece in the first game of the tournament, and the first game in Group A.
The last time Greece featured in the opening game of a European Championship was in 2004, when they started their campaign with a win over hosts Portugal - a result they repeated in the final.
It is a whopping 700/1 with bookmakers that Poland v Greece is repeated in the final of the 2012 Championships in Kiev on July 1st.
Neither side are being tipped to go far at Euro 2012, but both are in good form. Poland have lost just once in their last 12 games, while Greece have suffered just one defeat in 21 matches since coach Fernando Santos took charge.
Then at the Municipal Stadium in Wroclaw, Russia take on Czech Republic.
The Russians start as favourites to qualify from Group A and are seen by some as dark horses to reach the final stages of Euro 2012.
