When is Kick-Off?
Ireland host Greece at Aviva Stadium, Dublin, on Tuesday 10 September at 7:45pm BST, untelevised live in the UK.
Stat Attack
- This is Ireland’s first Nations League meeting against Greece.
- Greece have won all three visits to Ireland in all competitions without conceding (W3).
- Ireland are yet to beat Greece across all competitions (D1, L4).
- Ireland have conceded five goals in their last two matches (L2).
- Greece have scored first in each of the four recent games in which they’ve netted goals (W3, L1).
Prediction
Having lacked much clinical end product despite some solid dominant spells of attack against England, Ireland must now learn from their errors and show more composure but crucially be tighter in their defensive marking and follow-ups.
Greece meanwhile comfortably saw off Finland with a clinical performance but they will likely need to show more patience against this Irish defence, yet they will have confidence from that win.
Ireland though must be absolutely clinical otherwise I can see an away win coming if Greece play like they did on Saturday.
Prediction: ROI 1-2 Greece
Result: ROI 0-2 Greece
