Greece vs England Prediction & Match Preview

Greece vs England Prediction

Greece shocked the continent by claiming a massive England scalp last month at Wembley courtesy of a brace from Vangelis Pavlidis in a 2-1 victory.

The team led by Ivan Jovanovic backed it up with a 2-0 home win over the Republic of Ireland three days later.

Greece thus have a perfect record of four wins in four UEFA Nations League games and are on the best way to securing their inaugural League A promotion.

To get there, they need a win or draw in the penultimate match of the campaign on Thursday evening in Athens.

Securing such a result will obviously represent a very difficult task considering the strength of the opposition.

However, if there is a good time to be facing England, this is exactly it as the Three Lions miss bountiful first-team regulars through injuries.

Interim manager Lee Carlsley can’t count on the services of Declan Rice, Jack Grealish, Phil Foden, Bukayo Saka, Cole Palmer, Trent Alexander-Arnold, or Lewi Colwill.

These are all massive absences for England ahead of their toughest away fixture in the campaign.

England have won all of their four visits to Greece with a goal difference of 9-1 in the process. On the other side, Greece have won all of their four Nations League games in the ongoing campaign with a goal difference of 9-1 along the way.

The Greeks are very difficult to break down these days and we feel the Three Lions might struggle to break them through with a mixed lineup on Thursday.

In these circumstances, the Under 2.5 goals FT pick has to be the way to go at the odds of 1.65. Those who fancy punts with big odds, the 1-1 correct score bet is priced up at the 6.50 odds.
