Greece Team News
In the last competitive match, Greece defeated Ireland away from home with 0:2. They took the lead in the 20th minute when Konstantinos Tsimikas played past Georgios Giakoumakis, and he put the ball into the net. They doubled their advantage in stoppage time of the first half with a goal by Georgios Masouras, assisted by Dimitrios Pelkas, and after that goal, there was no further change in the score.
They currently occupy the second position in the table with 12 points won, three more than their next rival Holland, but also one game more. In the qualification so far, they recorded four wins and two losses.
After successfully getting past Ireland with no further injuries or suspensions to consider for Monday’s game, Greece coach Gus Poyet should be cautious about changing the winning squad in Athens, meaning Atlanta United striker Georgios Giakoumakis start again from the beginning. Hot on the heels of Mbappe in the top scorers in Group B with an impressive five goals, Georgios Masouras will now look to reach double figures for the national team and will once again keep Taxiarchis Fountas and Vangelis Pavlidis on the bench.
Thirty-five-year-old defender Giorgos Tzavellas was a notable absence from the squad on Friday for unknown reasons, so the Atromitos man could be waiting for his 50th cap while Dinos Mavropanos will join Panos Retsos ahead of Odysseas Vlachodimos.

Netherlands Team News
In the previous round, the Netherlands lost to France at home with 1:2. The visiting team took the lead in the seventh minute, and doubled their advantage in the 53rd minute of the match. The only goal for the home team was scored by Quilindschy Hartman with an assist from Steven Bergwijn in the 83rd minute, after which they failed to get back into the match.
They are currently third in the table with nine points, six more than fourth-placed Ireland. In the qualification block, they recorded three wins and two losses, while in the A League of Nations playoff, they lost to Croatia in the semi-finals, and then to Italy in the fight for third place.
The Dutch team’s well-documented fitness problems were exacerbated in the first half against France, as striker Wout Weghorst picked up an unspecified problem and had to be replaced by Donyella Malen in the 38th minute. The severity of Weghorst’s injury is unclear, but Malen was a bright spot in the second half and should do enough to start Monday’s game, while Steven Bergwijn also has reason to feature in attack after setting up Hartman’s debut goal.
Bart Verbruggen, Tijjani Reijnders and Joey Veerman were also given the chance to make their first appearance in an orange shirt last time out – the first time since 2013 that the Netherlands have had four full debutants in one game, but Mats Wieffer and Calvin Stengs are ready to freshen up the midfield if need.
Great way to mark your Oranje debut! 🦁

Greece vs Netherlands Prediction
Due to the previous match between each other and the better playing staff on paper, the Netherlands is a slight favorite in this match. However, Greece has the home field advantage, so we cannot bet on a “clean two” with certainty. Therefore, our betting suggestion in this match is a draw or a win for the visitors, with at least two goals scored in the entire match, as a more open game is expected.
