France take on the visitors Greece in the round 4 match of UEFA Euro qualification. The match will be played on Monday, June 19th at Stade de France (Paris - Saint-Denis).
France have shown themselves in a highly contradictory manner after their triumph at the 2018 World Cup. Although there were no blatant failures (although they were quite disappointing in Euro 2020), there were constantly questions and even direct criticism towards Deschamps and his players. However, at crucial moments, the "Roosters" managed to perform admirably. They were only stopped by a highly motivated Argentina, and that was only in the penalty shootout of the final match. It was precisely Kolo-Muani who had the last chance, but Emiliano Martinez made a save with his foot, securing the victory for himself and his team in the penalty shootout. In the new cycle, the team started partially refreshed, without several veteran players from Lloris to Benzema. However, the collective remains recognizable, and with their new captain Mbappe, they had a successful start. They first demolished the potential main rival, the Netherlands, with a score of 4-0, and then in March, they defeated Ireland, with Pavard scoring the only goal. The summer began with a pragmatic 3-0 win against underdogs Gibraltar.

Greece national team holds the status of one of the European champions, with everyone remembering their sensational success in 2004 under the guidance of Otto Rehhagel. Their pragmatic style allowed the Greeks to perform well in the majority of major tournaments. In 2014, at the World Cup in Brazil, they managed to reach the Round of 16 but were eliminated after that. Since then, Greece has not made it to any major tournaments. There was some progress last year under the new head coach Gustavo Poyet (the same Uruguayan who had a significant playing career at Chelsea). Yes, this success (5 wins in 6 matches) was largely due to the weakness of their opponents, although they were not all complete underdogs: Northern Ireland, Kosovo, and Cyprus. They only lost to Cyprus in an away game. In the 2023 qualifiers, the Greeks started with a victory over Gibraltar in March, and on June 16, they achieved an important 2-1 win against Ireland at home.
There have been a total of 4 matches played, with France having one more victory due to a 1-0 win in a friendly match in 2006. In official matches, all three possible outcomes have occurred. Bookmakers believe that the guests don't have much of a chance. We bet on France to win with a handicap of "-1.5 goals scored."
Prediction for the match: France to win.
