Greece vs New Zealand Prediction: We anticipate both teams to score

The upcoming international friendly between Greece and New Zealand is exciting for football fans worldwide. Scheduled for November 17, 2023, this match is expected to captivate audiences with thrilling football action. Let us verify the team outcomes; there are several odds available.

Greece

FIFA Ranking: 51st

Last five matches: LLWWL

The Greece national team must be consistent in their last five matches, losing three and winning two. The manager, Gus Poyet, could have performed better in their last game against the Netherlands national team. His tactical changes really cost the team a goal. However, the team has scored five goals and conceded five, both home and away. The striking force for the home team looks stronger than the underdogs. Out of 5 matches, Giorgos Masouras scored 5 goals, and Anastasios Bakasetas, out of 5 games, scored 2. The Greece national team defensively has, however, been porous in recent matches.

New Zealand

FIFA Ranking: 103

Last five matches: WLWDL

The New Zealand national squad's inconsistency has been glaring in recent games, similar to the home team's. Defenders Tommy Smith, Tim Payne, and Bill Tuiloma have struggled, conceding eight goals in five games, with their performance against Sweden being particularly dismal, ending in a 4-1 defeat. Scoring an average of five goals in their last five games mirrors the Greece national team's impressive performance. To capitalize on scoring opportunities against the home team, Ben Waine's performance needs a boost, especially considering the less-than-stellar defensive display by the home team in their recent five matches. Chris Wood has been included in the game against Greece despite his injuries.

Expert Betting Tips

With home advantage and a potent offensive roster led by top scorers Tasos Bakasetas and Giorgos Masouras, who have combined for seven goals in five games, the Greece national team appears a bit formidable. However, New Zealand has also displayed attacking prowess with a five-goal tally in their recent five games.

Both teams have exhibited inconsistent defensive form in their last five matches. This suggests that, despite their attacking capabilities, their defensive vulnerabilities might allow goals from either side. This points to a probable scenario where both teams will likely score against each other or end in a draw.

Overall, we bet on both teams to score.
