Our tip: Greece – England: no loss for Greece

14.11.2024 20:45

When England lost 1-2 to Greece at Wembley in October, they made it much harder for themselves to qualify directly for the A-League. If it wants to regain top spot under its own control, it must win in Athens and preferably by a two-goal difference.

Albion will still be led by interim coach Lee Carsley, with Thomas Tuchel taking over the England national team as their third foreign coach from next year. Although the Lions won 3-1 in Finland after their home blunder against Greece, the aftertaste of the shock defeat remained.

Carsley is not bringing his strongest team to Athens. Missing for various reasons are Saka, Rice, Foden, Grealish, Alexander-Arnold, Palmer, Stones, Mainoo, Maguire, Shaw, etc. The English are making up the losses chiefly in defence and midfield, there are only five players with 20 or more representative starts in the nomination, Carsley has called up five newcomers.

Greece is at full strength, with striker Ioannidis returning from injury after scoring three times in September games at home to Finland (3-0) and in Ireland (2-0). The hero of the match in England was the two-goal Pavlidis, the Greeks then defeated Ireland for the second time at home 2-0 and under the leadership of coach Ivan Jovanovic have a 100% record after four matches and a score of 8:1.

What to bet on:

England have won all three of their matches in Greece without conceding a goal, but the last one dates back to 2001. The home team is on a roll at the moment and will score against a weakened Albion this time.

Trust:

6/10
