Ireland vs Greece Prediction & Betting Tips - UEFA Nations League
by Ian John in UEFA Nations League Predictions
Can the Republic of Ireland get back to winning ways as they face Greece in a vital Nations League Group B2 match this week? Or will the Galanolefki continue their dominance of this fixture over the Boys in Green? Let’s examine the facts in our prediction for the game.
After going down 2-0 at home to England on Saturday, Heimir Hallgrimsson will have to mobilise his Ireland team to face a Greece team who are currently top of the group. The Irish were well-beaten by England, a fact noted by the manager, and he will be hoping for a reaction to that loss in this game.
It remains to be seen whether skipper Seamus Coleman can play. The Everton veteran seemed to hurt his ankle or Achilles against England and limped off. That may well necessitate a change in personnel or even a change in formation for a game that Ireland must now win to remain in contention in this tough group.
That won’t be easy against a Greece team that dominated their opening fixture, winning 3-0 against Finland. Head coach Ivan Jovanovic will be thrilled with how his team played in that match. Having lost just one of their last seven games, he will be confident they can get something from this game.
Fotis Ioannidis caught the eye against the Finns, scoring a brace of goals before being substituted on 77 minutes. The Panathinaikos man has caught the eye recently, scoring four goals in his 12 caps for his country.
A win for Greece here could set up two huge games against England to decide who tops this group.

2 Goals Ahead Early Payout Offer
One of the worst feelings when placing a football bet is when the team that you have backed has gone into a multiple-goal lead only to be clawed back to a draw or to lose the game in question. This is something that bet365 has rectified for their bettors courtesy of this offer. If the team that you backed takes a two-goal lead your bet will be paid out as a winner. That is any two-goal lead so 2-0, 3-1, 4-2 etc will all be paid out early as a winner if your team is in that position. This is available in 80 different competitions including the major leagues across Europe and can be played on the full-time result market. Singles and multiples are both valid for this offer but you cannot bet on enhanced price markets. As with most promotions, if you cash out a bet in full, the bet will no longer be available for the offer in question. It also cannot be used if you bet on the draw on a game.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
