Following a last-gasp victory against England on Thursday night, Greece turn their attention to hosting the Republic of Ireland on Sunday 13th October 2024 in the UEFA Nations League.
Republic of Ireland looking to build on their first victory in the group against Finland.
Greece come into this game looking to extend their lead at the top of the League B Group Two table and continue their good run of form. However Ireland got an impressive victory in their last game. Something they will look to build on here. This is bound to be an intriguing contest.
Greece Predicted Lineup - Odysseas Vlachodimos; Dimitris Giannoulis, Konstantinos Koulierakis, Konstantinos Mavropanos, Lazaros Rota; Emmanouil Siopis, Dimitrios Kourbelis; Christos Tzolis, Anastasios Bakasetas, Giorgos Masouras; Vangelis Pavlidis
Greece are off the back of an amazing 2-1 victory against England on Thursday night. This leaving them top of the group. They are yet to lose a game this campaign.
Not only this but their amazing defence has greatly helped them thus far. They have only conceded one goal so far. They will be hopeful to continue that here.
Not only this but they have also scored seven goals in three Nations League games. A big reason behind that is striker Vangelis Pavlidis who scored a brace on Thursday. If he can get on the scoresheet again Greece will surely glide to yet another victory.
Republic of Ireland Predicted Lineup - Caoimhin Kelleher; Robbie Brady, Liam Scales, Nathan Collins, Dara O'Shea; Jason Knight, Josh Cullen; Sammie Szmodics, Finn Isaac Azaz, Chiedozie Ogbene; Evan Ferguson
Ireland picked up their first victory in this year's Nations League on Thursday beating Finland 2-1 impressively. They will be hopeful that they can pick up their form from here. However this will be no easy task.
Ireland don’t tend to score many goals - something that will need to change here. They have failed to score in five of their last seven matches. If they can avoid conceding goals and start taking some of their chances things could begin to change for Ireland.
Greece and Ireland have only played one another six times.
Surprisingly, Greece has never lost against the Republic of Ireland. They have won five of the six games and drawn one.
In fact, in the six games played the aggregate score is 8-3 in favour of Greece. Ireland very rarely score goals against Greece.
