Greece vs England Preview

• Tournament: UEFA Nations League
• Date: Thursday, Nov 14
• Kick-off Time: 07:45 pm GMT
• Venue: Olympic Stadium, Greece

Greece’s national football team will lock horns with England in the group-stage clash of the Nations League campaign at the Olympic Stadium. Greece are going through terrific run in the Nations League campaign and are yet to register a loss in the competition.

Despite their fantastic run in the European Championships this summer, England’s national football team have made a slow start to the Nations League and are currently sitting second in the Group B standings with nine points after four games. They have struggled to make a statement since the start of the competition but should probably be confident of securing the three points given their dominant head-to-head record against the hosts. England are also unbeaten in their last seven games away from home

Meanwhile, Greece’s national football team have produced a stellar performance in the Nations League and is currently leading their respective group table with 12 points after four games. But England appears to be the clear favourite and should easily bag the three points.

Key Players to Watch out in Greece vs England

Fotis Ioannidis (Greece)

Greece striker Fotis Ioannidis who has scored three goals in the opening two games of the competition missed the previous England tie in October. The Panathinaikos star has proven to be a natural goal-scorer during the past few seasons and has attracted interest from multiple English clubs. He is going to be big threat to England.

Harry Kane (England)

The Bayern Munich striker and England captain has made a brilliant start to the 2024/25 campaign having scored 17 goals in 16 appearances across all competitions. But he has often faced criticism for failing to deliver in big matches.

Greece vs England Prediction

Greece’s national football team secured a win in their previous Nations League fixture against England in October where they clinched an iconic 2-1 win. Despite an underwhelming at the European Championships this summer, they have been phenomenal in the Nations League grabbing 12 points after four games. The Greeks have been flying high under new manager Ivan Jovanović.

England’s national football team who are favourites for this tie due to their head-to-head record against Greece have also lost their latest fixture to Greece who are leading their respective group table. Their last two performances have been hardly convincing and will be aiming to make amends following their 2-1 loss to Greece.

Predicted Score: Greece 0-1 England
