Greece take on the visitors Cyprus in the round 3 match of League C in UEFA Nations League. The match will be played on Thursday, June 9th at Panthessaliko Stadium (Volos).
Greece remains a modest side of European football. “Hellenes” no longer want to remember their sensational championship – the contrast with the current “achievements” is very unpleasant. Moreover, this has already become a stable trend: after 2014, the team, which previously was not only a regular at tournaments, but also made it to the playoffs, did not make it anywhere. And they didn’t even participate in the playoffs, and in the League of Nations for the third time in a row they started at the level of a modest division C. The result of qualifying for the World Cup was just as mediocre: 10th point in 8 fights and 3rd place, moreover, behind Sweden - as much as 15 points. The current League of Nations began with a trip to Northern Ireland, and after 3 days they visited the Kosovo team. In the end, everything ended the same way, with minimal victories due to the only goal of Bakasetas.

Cyprus does not come close to justifying the results of considerable ambitions. “Islanders” in each cycle declares the intention to aim, if not for direct access to tournaments, then at least in the playoffs. They try more to interfere with the opponent's game than it tries to construct something itself. And only when pressed, when there was a risk of being relegated to division D, in March it turned out to get together and win at the joints of Estonia at home after a 0-0 in Tallinn. Kostenoğlu's team retained their registration, but the new draw started discouragingly, with 0-2 at home against Kosovo. On Sunday with Northern Ireland, Kostenoglou's wards were limited to a goalless draw.
In confrontations with their "cousins" the Greeks can feel like a real big brother. They lost only once, in 2001. All the other 7 ended with the victories of the Hellenes. Bookmakers are confident in the victory of the Greeks. But for this you need to score again. The option with "total under 2.5 goals" looks more passable.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
