After matchday 3 Group B2 has a surprising leader – Greece. With such an impressive display, they have set themselves up nicely for something more. But Ireland is a team that can surprise a few. Whether they manage to show something against the group leader is something we will see on Sunday evening.
Greece Team News
Three wins in the first 3 fixtures means that Greece is the sole leader in Group B2. The first two of the team’s games were won with clean sheets, but it is the absolutely surprising result that Greece managed to achieve against England that has been the talk of the football world in the past few days. It is not every day that one manages to win 1-2 against England at Wembley. At home, Greece has shown that they can get the job done and are in splendid form – 4 wins and 1 draw in their last 5 home fixtures. And that draw did not come against a lesser team but against one of the best in the world – France.
Ireland Team News
Ireland managed to finally secure 3 points in the group by grinding out a 1-2 away win over Finland last time out. That was also the team’s first away victory in the Nations League, as Ireland’s record in trips was 5 losses and 3 draws. The Boys in Green will now face an ever greater challenge in Greece and will most certainly go for back-to-back wins, something they haven’t done since November 2021. But looking at Ireland’s last trips we can see 3 losses and 2 wins. Where it mattered, Ireland fell short and this could be an indicator of what is to come for the team in Greece.
Head-to-Head-Games
Greece has quite a favourable record against Ireland as the team has won 4 of its last 5 meetings with them. What should also be mentioned is that Ireland are yet to win over Greece in any of the games they have played against them.
Greece – Ireland Betting Prediction
I believe that Greece will take the 3 points here. They have good momentum, especially after their 1-2 win over England and are in stellar form at home. Ireland is a team that generally struggles on trips with the team having just 1 away victory in the Nations League. I don’t think that Greece will miss the opportunity to add a 4th win here as they will be even more motivated by their last game and generally by their stellar performance in the tournament thus far.
