Scotland
Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium will host Thursday’s Nations League game between Greece and Scotland. The Greeks aim to build on a 2-0 win over Finland and they are seen as favourites to beat the Scotts in front of home fans. A man to watch in the home team will be Benfica striker Vangelis Pavlidis, who is likely to prove a handful for the opposition back-line. It has to be noted that Greece did well to beat England at Wembley Stadium in the group stages.
The Scotts, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Croatia and Poland. Both Lennon Miller and James Wilson have earned their first call-ups, while Arsenal left-back Kieran Tierney is back to the squad. Anyhow, home win should be considered as over the years Greece have turned their Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium into a real fortress. Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson is the most notable player in the away team.
Highlighted Team (Greece):
Former European champions Greece played their first official match on April 7, 1929, with the team suffering a heavy 4-1 loss to Italy in Athens. The Greeks booked their place at the FIFA World Cup finals in 1994 for the first time ever, but they failed to impress at the showpiece tournament in United States of America.
The Galanolefki were eliminated in the group stages of the 2010 FIFA World Cup as well, but they made it to the knockout stages of the tournament in Brazil four years later. However, the Greeks were more than unfortunate not to book their place in the quarter-finals as they were beaten by Costa Rica on penalties. However, Greece did remarkably well to win the 2004 European Championship and that is considered the national team’s biggest success.
Otto Rehhagel outplayed the likes of France and Czech Republic in the knockout stages to set up a meeting with hosts Portugal in the title game. Thanks to Angelos Charisteas’ goal 12 minutes into the second half Greece won the European Championship.
