England vs Greece Prediction, Preview, Lineups and Team News | UEFA Nations League, October 10, 2024
England vs Greece Preview
- Competition: UEFA Nations League.
- Date: Thursday, October 10.
- Time: 6:45 PM GMT.
- Venue: Wembley Stadium.
England vs Greece will be the third game for both these sides in League B Group 2 of the UEFA Nations League as the two table-toppers gear up to lock horns in London.
The Three Lions will enter this contest on the back of a great run of form. They have won five of their last six outings, losing just one of those against Euro 2024’s eventual winners Spain in the final of the tournament. They have won both their Nations League matches 2-0 against Ireland and then Finland, and will look to carry that form into their next fixture as they look to create some distance between themselves and Greece.
The visitors, on the other hand, have won four and lost two of their last six outings in a decent run of form themselves. They have won their last three games by scoring a total of seven goals and have not conceded, posing as a solid team that will be hard for England to break down. Despite being faced with an uphill battle, they will look to put their best foot forward.
On that note, let’s take a look at the team news coming from both camps.
England National Football Team News
Manager Lee Carsley has instantly come in and galvanized an England side left by former manager Gareth Southgate. One of the highlights has been bringing in Trent Alexander-Arnold at the right back spot after years of being overlooked. The manager has picked a full-strength squad with Jude Bellingham and Cole Palmer back in the fold, and it will be interesting to see who starts.
Greece National Football Team News
Manager Ivan Jovanovic and his team have secured two important wins in their opening two fixtures, with the manager picking a squad with perfect balance. With no injuries or suspensions to report, Jovanovic will be expected to stick with the same squad as he looks to record a famous win against England at the famous Wembley Stadium.

Key Players to Watch Out in England vs Greece
Jack Grealish (England)
Grealish was one of the standout players in the last international break as he put in an exceptional performance against his nation of birth Ireland. He scored a lovely goal after combining with another Irish-born player Declan Rice as England cruised to a 2-0 win. He will be expected to start for the Three Lions again and could be among the goals.
Fotis Ioannidis (Greece)
Ioannidis will be in the spotlight for the Greek national team after his three goals in their last two games helped the side record some crucial wins. However, this time around he will lace his boots up against a much better defensive unit as well as a goalkeeper and will be tested to the limits in an exciting match.
England vs Greece Prediction
Given the history between these two teams, there will be only one winner come the end of the 90 minutes, and that team will be England.
Prediction: England 3-1 Greece
