Greece vs Spain Predictions and Betting Tips

The November international break gets underway this Thursday and our attention for this one is a highly-anticipated clash at the Olympic Stadium as Greece and Spain go head-to-head in the UEFA World Cup Qualifiers. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.

The Greeks did well to pick up a point in Spain when both sides locked horns in the reverse fixture. Would we see them get a win thus time around ?

Massive six-pointer on the cards

Greece are currently in a perilous situation as they head into this game four points off the playoffs spot with just two games of the World Cup Qualifiers left to play. As such, anything less than a win here sends van't Schip's side out of the Qatar discussion. The Swedes made sure to quench Greece's automatic qualification hopes last month as the group leaders condemned their opponents to a 2-0 loss, only their first of these qualifiers. What does van't Schip and his troops have up his sleeve as they welcome La Roja to Greece ?

Whilst the struggle for Qatar was ongoing last month, Luis Enrique and his troops featured in the UEFA Nations League finals in Italy. Thanks to Ferran Torres' brace, La Roja saw off the European champions Italy to book a place in the final to take on World champions France. Mikel Oyarzabal's well-taken goal put them in front, however, Les Blues replied with two of theirs through Benzema and Mbappe to secure the Nations League trophy for themselves. Spain is currently in second place and with the Swedes having a two-point lead on them heading into the round of games this Thursday, a Spanish slip-up could be detrimental to their automatic qualification hopes.
