England FC, to clinch top spot

England FC meets with Greece FC for their League B Group 2 meeting, with both teams doing well in their campaigns recently. Historically, England dominated Greece in their meetings, winning seven of their last nine matches, with the latter winning none. England is currently at the second of their group, and won their two previous matches. Additionally, England are confident ahead of this match, as they are with a loaded squad. On the other hand, Greece are currently at the top of their group, as they are also unbeaten in their campaign. Greece had an impressive campaign recently, which is why they are hoping to continue this run in this match. The meeting between these two teams is on October 11, 2024, at 2:45 AM (GMT+8).

Interim boss Carsley is proving his chances of taking over as Three Lions manager in England. He has been praised for his performance in his opening game, where he saw two former Republic of Ireland internationals defeat the Boys in Green. However, the Three Lions’ 2-0 victories are currently only good enough for second place. This ranking would still qualify the Euro 2024 runners-up for the promotion playoffs, but Carsley is not afraid of a black mark on his name. He could become the first Three Lions manager to win their first three games in charge without conceding, and the first to win their opening three overall since Fabio Capello in 2008. Carsley’s success could make him a significant figure in England’s football history.

Kane has been given the green light to play for his country after an injury scare. Ollie Watkins or Dominic Solanke will lead the line, while Kyle Walker, Phil Foden, Jude Bellingham, and Cole Palmer return. The hosts have added Tino Livramento and Curtis Jones, but Ireland goalscorer Grealish is a new doubt due to a knock.

Greece, the leading team in the Nations League, is seeking their 14th win of the tournament to move three points clear of their rivals. The Pirate Ship, who have been in League C for three campaigns, have demonstrated their League A credentials with comfortable victories against Finland and Ireland. Panathinaikos forward Fotis Ioannidis has scored three of Greece’s five goals last month, with only Slovenia’s Benjamin Sesko having more. The 2004 European champions are also embarking on a new era under new management, with ex-Panathinaikos boss Ivan Jovanovic taking over as Gus Poyet’s permanent replacement. Jovanovic aims to end Greece’s 12-match winless run against top-five ranked nations, a streak dating back to their Euro 2004 triumph. David Beckham’s 2001 free kick is a standout moment in previous meetings between England and Greece.

Greece’s Ioannidis is out due to an injury, leaving Vangelis Pavlidis to take over the attacking role. Odysseas Vlachodimos, a forgotten man since leaving Benfica, is expected to win his 45th cap in goal for Newcastle United.
