France FC is looking to sustain their perfect run in the qualifiers, when they meet with Greece FC, for their final qualifier match. Due to the dominance of France, they already qualified for the Euro 2024, which is not surprising. In fact, they are at the top of the group standings with 21 points across their names. Along with this, France are on a five-game winning streak, which gives them confidence coming into this game. On the other hand, Greece are at the third with 12 points, but it is not enough to bring them to the Euro 2024. Unlike their opponent, Greece are with a two-game losing run, which does not bring them a good momentum. Additionally, they already met for 20 times, where France won 14, and Greece won just twice. The meeting between these two teams is on November 22, 2023, at 3:45 AM (GMT+8).
France FC
France’s recent display of attacking supremacy may be seen as a sign of their defensive prowess. They now set a new national team record by striking Gibraltar for 14 at the Allianz Riviera. The match saw France defeat Gibraltar 3-0, highlighting the team’s effort. France secured a place in the Pot 1 of the Euro 2024 group-stage draw. However, their pride is not the only concern for Les Bleus this week. They are also out to end 2023 with a seventh successive away victory in Euros qualifying. Greece’s only competitive win against France came in their Euro 2004 quarter-final. Fortunately, Les Bleus have since posted back-to-back victories over the Pirate Ship, with only an Mbappe penalty separating the two nations in June.
Unfortunately, Zaire-Emery is injured, which makes him unavailable here, as it is suspected that he suffers from sprain. Despite that, Fofana, Kamara, or Thuram are expected to be a part of the starters here. Additionally, since they already secured their spots in Euro 2024, multiple alterations are expected for France.
Greece FC
Greece’s recent friendly match with New Zealand saw the team managed to win 2-0 with professionalism. Gus Poyet’s team, led by Giannis Konstantelias, scored the first goal after Giannis Konstantelias’s cross. Moreover, Georgios Giakoumakis scored the second goal just before half-hour mark. Greece were still mathematically capable of securing the Netherlands’ second and final automatic qualification spot in Group B, but Oranje’s 1-0 win over the Republic of Ireland has resulted in a third-placed finish. Despite this, Greece is confirmed as one of 12 playoff-competing nations, aiming to end a 12-year exile from the continent’s premier tournament. The 2004 European champions have come up trumps in three of their last four matches, conceding only one goal, and not since 2019 have they shipped multiple strikes in a home Euros qualifier.
Petros Mantalos, and Dimitrios Kourbelis, are both unavailable, as both have one-game suspension, after being cautioned for three times. Moreover, Andreas Bouchalakis, and Dimitrios Pelkas are expected to take the engine room.
Prediction:
France FC (2.0)
Odds: -0.87
