Greece take on the visitors Ireland in the round 3 match of EUFA Euro qualifications. The match will be played on Friday, June 16th at OPAP Arena (Athens).
Greece show signs of revival. The Greeks, of course, have forever entered the history books with their victory at Euro 2004, despite all the reservations about the defensive style of play cultivated by Otto Rehhagel. The subsequent teams played in a similar fashion over the next decade, consistently (and decently!) performing in tournaments until 2014. But then everything fell apart. Now, under the guidance of coach Angelos Anastasiadis, things seem to be improving. Greece won their group in the UEFA Nations League (albeit in League C), and they started their recent match with a 3-0 victory. However, that match was against Gibraltar, and they followed it with a goalless draw against Lithuania in a friendly match.

Ireland haven't shown much lately. The Irish last qualified for the European Championship in 2016, reaching the playoffs, although it wasn't particularly challenging given the tournament's format. Since then, the Irish haven't achieved anything noteworthy and haven't qualified for any major tournaments. In the previous edition of the UEFA Nations League, they finished in third place in their group, starting with a 0-1 loss to Armenia. However, Ireland tends to be strong at home, and they have defeated Scotland and earned draws against Ukraine. In 2023, after a warm-up match with Latvia ended in a 3-2 victory, they put up a decent fight against France but conceded a goal from Pavard.
Previous matches between Greece and Ireland were all friendly encounters. Greece won twice with a 1-0 scoreline, and there was one goalless draw. Greece is currently the favorite. Both teams are playing at home, so betting on Greece's victory with a "0" handicap seems like a safe option.
Prediction for the match: Greece to win with 0.0 handicap.
