Greece vs Ireland Prediction: The White and Blue are in better shape

Prediction for the match between Greece and Ireland, which will take place on June 16. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Greece

The Greek national team has not had the best of times. At the very beginning of the century, they sensationally won the European title; after that, they participated in several major international tournaments, but since 2014 they have not been able to qualify anywhere else. It will also be challenging to qualify for Euro 2024 through direct selection. The reason is that the Greeks are in the same qualification group as the French and the Dutch, who clearly will not be easy to beat. In the opening game, the team was stronger than the Gibraltarians 3:0, but it will be more challenging going forward. That said, the Blues and Whites will still have a chance of qualifying for the continental championships in the UEFA Nations League.

Ireland

Ireland is another team that is unlikely to qualify consistently for major tournaments. The last time the team made it to the continental championships was in 2016 when they reached the round of 16. It will be difficult for the Irish to qualify for Euro 2024. We've already mentioned the main reason: the French and Dutch will unlikely give up the top two places in the standings. The Whites have already lost to France 0:1 in the opening round. Furthermore, their qualification through the UEFA Nations League will also be problematic, as they finished only third in their quartet and are unlikely to make the playoffs.

Expert Betting Tips

Greece and Ireland are two solid European national teams that might otherwise have qualified for Euro 2024. Still, they currently find themselves in the same group as the French and Dutch, so they will take a miracle to succeed. However, the favorites in the upcoming battle are the Whites and Blues, who are now in better shape than their opponents. They play exceptionally well at home, winning three of their previous four games. Moreover, in their three last head-to-head encounters, the Irish have lost twice and drawn once.

Greece and Ireland are the teams that can play to keep the score and are also great on the attack. The statistics confirm this, with no goals scored in their previous three head-to-head encounters and only two goals scored in total (0.67 on average per game). Moreover, in the last 12 games, there have been only three goalscoring incidents, so we shouldn't expect anything like that now, either.
