England vs Greece Tips

Tip 1

Greece will undoubtedly prove Lee Carsley’s toughest test yet. How difficult the game will be remains to be seen, that being said, they’ve displayed the requisite quality to punish the Three Lions on at least one occasion at Wembley.

Thursday’s visitors have netted five times without reply in their opening two games – one more than England – and this poses a more considerable metric than usual due to both teams facing the same opposition within this sample.

This is particularly true when considering the potential changes the interim boss might make, with three players already dropping out due to injury and Harry Kane potentially lined up for a rest with Finland on the horizon.

Tip 2

Grealish has been buoyed by Carsley’s selection so far after being given the cold shoulder by Gareth Southgate over the summer, and the Man City forward has paid dividends for this trust with a goal against Ireland.

Although his club form hasn’t exactly justified a start, Carsley is likely to maintain Grealish’s position in the XI having played him for 166 of the 180 minutes, and BetMGM’s standout price of 10/3 for him to net looks worth taking on.

England Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up

Lee Carsley boasts an expected 100% record in his two games as interim boss of the senior team, recording back-to-back 2-0 wins over Ireland and Finland during September.

Ezri Konsa, Morgan Gibbs-White and Kobbie Mainoo have all withdrawn from this month’s squad through injury, while all-time leading goalscorer Harry Kane has been cleared for international duty by his employers Bayern Munich.

England Predicted XI: Pickford; Alexander-Arnold, Guehi, Colwill, Lewis; Rice, Bellingham; Saka, Palmer, Grealish; Watkins.

Greece Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up

Thursday’s visitors have also won consecutive matches at the start of the latest Nations League campaign, swiping both Finland and Ireland aside to top the standings through goal difference.

Greece have been been handed a major blow in the form of Fotis Ioannidis’ absence, who has been left out of the squad after picking up an injury for Panathinaikos.

Greece Predicted XI: Vlachodimos; Rota, Mavropanos, Koulierakis, Tsimikas; Siopis, Kourbelis; Masouras, Bakasetas, Tzolis; Pavlidis.
