Greece vs Ireland Prediction & Betting Tips - UEFA Nations League
by Devesh Jaganath in UEFA Nations League Predictions
Greece will be out to extend their excellent UEFA Nations League record when they take on the Republic of Ireland at Stadio Georgios Karaiskakis on Sunday evening. Ethniki are three points clear at the top of League B Group 2, while the Boys in Green are third in the group standings. Check out our match prediction below:
The hosts won the reverse fixture against this opponent 2-0 at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin last month. With that result, the Sky Blue and Whites extended their win streak over the Irish to four in a row and also kept their unbeaten record against them intact, now standing at five wins and a draw in six previous encounters.
Given their record in this fixture and current form coming into the match, Greece are the clear favourites according to the latest bookmaker odds. Another victory for the Pirate Ship will put them in a very strong position in the group heading into the final international break.

Greece - Ireland: Form Analysis
After suffering the disappointment of failing to qualify for Euro 2024, Greece look determined to make amends in this competition.
Ethniki have been the standout team in this section and opened daylight at the top of the standings on Thursday when they pulled off an upset win over England in their own backyard Wembley.
That result followed back-to-back wins over Finland and their upcoming opponents last month and also extended their current winning run to four matches across all competitions.
At home, Greece are unbeaten in their last four matches (W3 D1 L0) and averaged three goals per 90 in that time!
Meanwhile, after suffering consecutive 2-0 defeats to England and Greece in last month’s qualifiers, Ireland finally got themselves off the mark with a 2-1 away win over Finland earlier this week.
That result halted a three-match losing streak which included a 3-0 loss to Portugal in a friendly back in June, and the opening goal in the match was the first the side had scored in over 300 minutes of football.
Still, Ireland’s away record suggests that they may struggle against an in-form Greek side. Over their last 10 games on the road, the Boys in Green have only managed three wins (W3 D1 L6), and those victories were against Finland, Gibraltar and Malta.

Greece & Ireland Squad Analysis
Greece were dealt a massive injury blow in the lead-up to the match against England, with Fotis Ioannidis, who scored three goals in the last international break, forced to withdraw through injury.
However, in the absence of the Panathinaikos forward, Benfica attacker Vangelis Pavlidis stepped up in a big way, netting a brace in the victory over the Three Lions last week.
Rasmus Schuller was withdrawn in the first half against England and is a major doubt for this match!
In the absence of captain Seamus Coleman, Ipswich Town’s Dara O'Shea was handed the start at right-back in the last match. However, after setting up Robbie Brady for the winner off the bench, we could see Festy Ebosele given the nod in this one.
Mark McGuinness and Jack Taylor, both promoted from the Under 21s, were unused substitutes against Finland and will be hoping to make their debuts on Sunday.
Brighton & Hove Albion striker Evan Ferguson was hauled off for Troy Parrott in the 71st minute of the last match and the latter could be in line to make the starting 11 this week.

Our Greece vs Ireland Prediction
Greece have been in excellent form in this competition and beating England in their own backyard last week would have given them a massive boost of confidence to go on to clinch this group.
While the Republic of Ireland also earned a much-needed result against the Finns last time out, the Greeks are a much more difficult opponent. We feel the Boys in Green will struggle to contain the hosts in this one. Our Greece vs Republic of Ireland prediction: Greece win!
