Overview
Greece are an interesting phenomenon in this year's Nations League. After the first 4 matches, coach Ivan Jovanovic's team has won all 4 matches, scoring 9 goals and conceding only 1. In particular, they excellently defeated England 2-1 last month with Pavlidis's decisive goal.
With 12 maximum points and the top position in Group 2 of League B, Greece is very close to a direct ticket to League A. They only need to win at least 1 point against the "Three Lions" at home to complete the goal.
Despite not having any big names in the squad, the Greek players were in good form and ready to play fair with England once again. The most notable Greek players include Fotis Ioannidis (3 goals), Vangelis Pavlidis (2 goals) and goalkeeper Vlachodimos.
With their position, of course England will not be satisfied with second place. Therefore, they will fight with all their might to get revenge on Greece. In fact, apart from the loss to their opponents, the "Three Lions" have won all three remaining matches. Although not too convincing, their performance is still at a good level.
Compared to the loss to Greece early last month, England will now welcome back captain Harry Kane. The Bayern Munich striker will lead the "Three Lions" attack with the task of winning 3 points.
Apart from the most recent defeat, England are unbeaten against Greece in all nine other meetings (winning seven). Although Greece are in good form, England are still considered the favorites.

Greece will be without Dimitros Kourbelis for this match due to suspension. Fotis Ioannidis has returned to the squad after missing the last training camp through injury.
