Greece vs Netherlands Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 16th October 2023
Greece and the Netherlands will be facing each other this coming Monday at OPAP Arena. As we approach the final rounds of the qualifying group stage, both these teams are still vying for a spot at the European Championship. Greece were defeated by 3-0 in their last encounter with the Netherlands, but did win the reverse match 2-1, though.
We have arrived at the end of the group stage qualifications, with Greece placed at number two with 12 points. The Netherlands collected nine points to place them as number three. Greece arrive at this match placed as number 51 in the FIFA world ranking, while the Netherlands lack behind as number 7 in the world.
As rather big outsiders in this group, it would be considered a rather big upset if Greece were to survive beyond the qualifying group stage. However, the Netherlands look far off their usual strength and risk missing out on the Euro's after being defeated once again by France on Friday. A defeat in Athens will make it highly unlikely they'll get to see Germany next year.
Greece vs Netherlands Prediction
Greece Form
Greece look back on their last three matches with six points to show for their efforts. Against the Netherlands, they were left empty-handed in a 3-0 defeat, but they avenged themselves by beating Gibraltar in a 5-0 win. They followed that up with a 0-2 win against Ireland in their most recent outing. Greece claimed a middle-of-the-road three wins in their previous six internationals. They also drew one and lost two, as they scored nine and conceded five goals.
Netherlands Form
In the last three matches, the Netherlands beat Greece 3-0, won 1-2 against Ireland, and lost 1-2 against France. The Netherlands won half their previous six internationals, as well as seeing zero draws and suffering three defeats. They scored 13 goals whilst conceding ten.
Having considered the match from different angles, be it form, strength in squad and match history, the Netherlands get our vote here. They should have enough to see them through a most likely tricky opponent in Greece.
