Greece v England Preview
Greece’s Form
Greece have had a dream start to life under new Head Coach Ivan Jovanović since he was appointed on the 1st of August. He’s taken to International management like a duck to water with 4 wins from his opening 4 games in charge in the Nations League with his team scoring 9 goals and conceding only 1.
One of the most eye-catching things about this Greek side is the settled nature of their starting side. From their 4 games during this Nations League campaign, you have 3 players who have played every minute, and 7 players have played at least 71% of the minutes which means there’s a club-style feeling to their selection changes and subsequent continuity of understanding.
Victory for Greece here would confirm their status as group winners ahead of their closing game against Finland.

England’s Form
The circus around who would replace Gareth Southgate as England Manager is over and the “Case for Carsley” has been closed following the announcement on the 16th of October that Thomas Tuchel would take the role starting in 2025. As a result, this will be the last window with Carsley at the helm and interestingly in recent days, 8 players have withdrawn from the original squad.
Carsley has switched between a 4-3-3 vs Ireland and a 4-2-3-1 throughout his tenure as interim head coach. The statistics look solid with 16.3 shots per game an average of 61% of possession, a pass completion percentage of 89.5% and 11.9 aerials won and the return of Harry Kane to the squad will be a huge boost to the squad.
England were shocked in their last game by Greece, but the extenuating circumstances of the last game make me think that they could get the better of the Greeks this time.

Key Players To Watch
Konstantinos Mavropanos – Greece
The West Ham defender (26) has arguably been Greece’s standout performer since debuting for the senior side in 2021. He is a very strong defender with his 1.73 interceptions, 4.78 clearances and 2.3 aerials in the 92nd, 81st and 65th percentile for all defenders.
He also carries a strong ball-playing ability and passing range from deep. Greece are priced at 3/1 to earn a clean sheet and if they do Mavropanos will need a MOTM display.
Harry Kane – England
England’s record goalscorer missed the last window and his absence was very much felt with Carsley’s tactical alteration to not play with a genuine striker against Greece not working.
Kane has 68 goals in 101 games for his country and if you fancy him to score he is 7/2 for first scorer and 7/5 to score anytime.
Greece v England Prediction & Best Bet
Prediction: Greece 1-2 England
Greece are flying in the Nations League and know if they avoid defeat in this game they will be at a minimum in pole position to win the group.
England have been hit by several withdrawals from their squad and though there are some broader questions to ask about the rationale of those decisions, their replacements are more than apt to do the job for their next two games.
Greece are no pushovers, but I still think England will be too good for them on the night.
Best Bet: Draw +1 @ 5/2
