EUROPE: EURO – QUALIFICATION – ROUND 3
Date: 16 June 2023, Thursday
Kick-off at 21:45 EAT
Venue: OPAP Arena (Athens).
- In the first leg of their Euro 2024 double-header, Ireland will embark on a journey to lively Athens to face Greece.
- Both teams have only played one qualifier in March, setting the stage for an intriguing encounter.
- While Greece has already secured a play-off spot for the Finals through the Nations League, Gus Poyet’s side aims to reach Germany on their own merit.
- On the other hand, Ireland, under the leadership of Stephen Kenny, seem to be in a constant state of transition.
- Despite the perpetual scrutiny surrounding Kenny’s position, the team put up a commendable performance in their opening fixture, a narrow defeat to World Cup runners-up France in Dublin.
- They will face Gibraltar at home following their trip to Greece.
- Historically, away trips have posed challenges for Ireland, and Greece boasts a formidable team despite being ranked three places below Ireland in the FIFA Rankings.
- Under Poyet’s guidance, Greece has shown signs of improvement, evident from their expected 3-0 victory in Gibraltar to kick off their qualifying campaign.
- However, Greece has faced disappointment in their last four tournaments, and the Euro 2004 champions are determined to change their fortunes.
- The nations have met only three times, with Greece emerging victorious twice and the remaining match ending in a draw.
- Interestingly, the previous encounters have witnessed a total of just two goals.
- In terms of players to watch, Giorgos Giakoumakis has been in sensational form for Atlanta United since his move from Celtic.
- With ten goals in nine starts, he presents a threat to Ireland’s defense, despite having scored only two international goals for Greece.
- On the Irish side, Evan Ferguson, the talented youngster from Brighton, has been a standout performer this season and is regarded as Ireland’s rising star.
