England vs Greece: Top-of-The-Table Clash in Nations League Group 2

England and Greece, both unbeaten in the UEFA Nations League this season, will clash in a Group 2 top-of-the-table encounter at Wembley on Thursday.

Lee Carsley’s England, with two wins and clean sheets in both games, will aim to continue their dominance, while Ivan Jovanovic’s Greece seeks a historic upset against the Euro 2024 runners-up.

🤍England Eye a Third Consecutive Win | Home Win = 1.30💵

The Three Lions have started the Nations League campaign strongly, winning both games 2-0. Declan Rice, Jack Grealish, and Harry Kane have been pivotal in these victories.

Carsley, only in charge of the team for now, will hope to continue this form, especially given that his team hasn't conceded a goal yet.

With a perfect record so far, England is favoured to top the group, and anything less than a win at Wembley could be seen as a step back. Carsley’s men will be focused on maintaining their defensive solidity while taking advantage of their superior attacking options.

🔵Greece Seek to Extend Unbeaten Run | Away Win = 11.61💵

Greece come into this game with confidence, having also won their first two matches in the Nations League without conceding a goal.

However, facing England at Wembley is a different challenge altogether. The Greeks will be without top scorer Fotis Ioannidis, which could impact their attacking threat.

Despite their strong form, Greece has not beaten a top-five-ranked team since their Euro 2004 triumph, and Jovanovic will need a masterclass from his players to break this streak.

🗝️Key Players & Team News📰:

England will be missing Morgan Gibbs-White, Ezri Konsa, and Kobbie Mainoo due to injuries. However, with the likes of Phil Foden, Jude Bellingham, and Trent Alexander-Arnold returning, Carsley has plenty of depth.

Kane is expected to feature, though Dominic Solanke and Ollie Watkins may be given opportunities to impress. However, with a few key injuries and Kane’s fitness in question, there may be some rotation in the squad.

Greece, meanwhile, will look to Vangelis Pavlidis to lead their attack in the absence of Ioannidis. Odysseas Vlachodimos is expected to start in goal, with the Greek defence aiming to frustrate England's forwards. The form of Benfica striker Vangelis Pavlidis will be crucial if they are to challenge England's defence.
