- Top Two Nations From Each Group Advance to Euro 2020 Finals
Group J is shaping up to be quite interesting now, with Finland easing into second place in the group through three matches. Italy are on top, of course, and are very much favored to move on, but with Finland playing so well, Greece will know they can ill afford to let them slide even further away or it might be too late.
Greece have had an up and down sort of year. They didn’t go to Russia last year, though, and have had a downturn in recent years overall. They even faltered in their Nations League group, too, so it’s not bee the prettiest site. All things being totaled up, they have four wins, a draw, and five losses. They have not won any of their last three games, so they need to stop some of the bleeding here.
Armenia, meanwhile, done fairly well in the last year but have not been overachievers by any stretch. They finished second in the Nations League to North Macedonia by some distance, so that was disappointing for them. Overall, they have had four wins, a draw, and four losses, showing a lot of inconsistency along the way. They snapped a three match winless run with a win over Liechtenstein on Saturday.
Betfair have no for both teams to score at 1.4.
Greece winning both halves is at 2.1.
Greece are not what they once were, at least not yet, but they still have the capability to record a clean sheet against virtually anybody when they are on song. That is what they do here as they get a win.
Angelos Anastasiadis remains without defender Michalis Bakakis, midfielder Lazaros Christodoulopoulos, or striker Kostas Mitroglu due to injuries, while his selection has kept defender Giorgios Tzavellas and midfielder Alexandros Tziolis, among others out of the squad.
Greece didn’t have much luck going forward against Italy in Turin, but they will hope they can turn that around here with Kostas Fortounis. The Olympiacos man has six goals to his name, and he looks like he could be the one to grab one and gift them the points. At the back, Kostas Manolas is such a huge player for them. The Roma man is a complete defender, and he will be responsible for ensuring they have no leaks and allow Armenia a way forward.
Greece have three losses, a draw, and a win in their last five matches:
0-3 home loss vs Italy
2-1 loss at Turkey (Fri)
2-2 draw at Bosnia
0-2 win at Liechtenstein
0-1 home loss vs Estonia (UNL)
Armen Gyulbudaghyants is missing midfielder Alik Arakelyan and forward Yura Movsisyan due to injuries currently. Midfielder Edgar Malakyan and forward Sargis Adamyan are among those to miss out via coach’s decision.
The benefits of having a player of the caliber of Henrikh Mkhitaryan are limitless it seems. Not only can the Arsenal man unlock doors with both passes and shots on goal, but he also can open up avenues for fellow attackers to use. For Armenia, that’s great news, and it means that Gevorg Ghazaryan can have more space to operate in, as he did against Liechtenstein, in the hopes of giving them a more balanced look in the attack.
Armenia have two wins, two losses, and a draw in their last five matches:
3-0 home win vs Liechtenstein
0-2 home loss vs Finland
2-1 loss at Bosnia
2-2 draw at Liechtenstein (UNL)
2-6 win at Gibraltar (UNL)
