Greece take on the visitors Denmark in a World Cup 2026 qualification match. The match will be played on Monday, September 8th at Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium (Piraeus).
Greece were once even crowned European champions. But for a long time now they have failed to qualify for any major tournament. Still, chances have appeared recently. They narrowly missed out on last year’s Euros after a playoff defeat. In the Nations League, however, they won plenty of matches, even beating England away. But Lee Carsley’s men regrouped, won the return leg, and eventually edged Greece out of top spot on tiebreakers. As a result, they had to face Scotland in March, losing 0-1 at home before thrashing them in the return leg to earn promotion to Division A. After a strong summer with friendlies against Slovakia and Bulgaria, they finally began qualification on Friday. Against Belarus it was very straightforward — by the 63rd minute they had scored five goals before allowing a consolation. Greece are now unbeaten in their last five fixtures, showing more consistency than in previous cycles. Their attack, led by Masouras and Pavlidis, looks far more clinical compared to recent years.

Denmark want to finally make a serious statement. The “Danish Dynamite” were last impressive at Euro 2020, and that was only after Eriksen’s sudden health collapse. At the World Cup they failed to get out of their group, and last summer at the Euros they did not win a single match. After a coaching change, they looked better in the Nations League, finishing second in their group behind Spain but ahead of Serbia and Switzerland. In March playoffs, Brian Riemer’s side beat Portugal 1-0 in the first leg, but were hammered 2-5 in the return match. Victories in early summer friendlies against Northern Ireland and Lithuania seemed encouraging, but the real test came in their first qualifier against Scotland. That ended poorly, with only a goalless draw at home. Denmark have now failed to win three of their last four competitive matches, raising doubts about their ability to dominate at this level. Despite a solid defensive line, their attack has struggled, scoring just two goals in their last three official games.
Denmark have won six of the last ten meetings, with only one defeat. It is no coincidence that the “Ethniki” are seen as slight favorites here. We back Greece to win this home match with a draw-no-bet option.
Prediction for the match: Greece to win with 0.0 handicap.
