Greece vs Ireland Tips

Tip 1

Greece upset the odds in London and were good value for their win, shutting out Lee Carsley’s men for 87 minutes, scoring two goals after having one cleared off the line and three more disallowed.

Say what you will about changes from the hosts but everybody still thought that XI, and certainly the options from the bench, were enough to steer Carsley’s men to victory; proving just how exceptional the Blue and Whites were on the night.

Although Ireland had a fantastic result against Finland on the same evening, that win was only their second in nine matches, and just their third victory from the last 11 competitive games – the previous two coming against Gibraltar last year.

Tip 2

The Benfica forward has three goals in as many games for club and country, including Thursday’s brace in the English capital.

The 25-year-old has a point to continue driving home as understudy to Fotis Ioannidis for the national team. Also given that Greece’s first choice will once again be sidelined for this fixture due to injury, the odds are appealing enough for Pavlidis to continue his streak against a team without a clean sheet in six.

Greece Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up

The League B Group 2 leaders extended their stay at the top of the deck with a shock 2-1 win in England’s backyard, thanks to a Vangelis Pavlidis brace; the second of which came during the dying embers of the pair’s encounter.

Greece are still without first choice striker Fotis Ioannidis through injury, so the same starting XI is expected here.

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

Ireland Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up

A second half resurgence from the Boys In Green helped them pick up their first points of the latest Nations League campaign, setting up an intriguing encounter with the group leaders on Sunday.

Will Smallbone and Callum O’Dowda are both missing through injury, while Festy Ebosele might have earned himself a start after impressing as a substitute on Thursday.

Ireland Predicted XI: Kelleher; O’Shea, Scales, Collins, Brady; Cullen, Knight; Ogbene, Azaz, Ebosele; Ferguson.
