England will be out for revenge when they travel to the Olympiako Stadio Spyros Louis in Athens to face Greece in their penultimate League B Group 2 fixture in the UEFA Nations League on Thursday.
England:
Looking to avenge their shock 2-1 home defeat to Greece last month, England head to Athens under the interim guidance of Lee Carsley. Although Thomas Tuchel has been named Gareth Southgate's successor, he will not take charge until January, leaving Carsley to handle England’s final group matches. England, ranked fourth by FIFA, are three points behind group leaders Greece but could leapfrog them with a win by at least a two-goal margin. Carsley’s side rebounded from their Greece loss with a 3-1 victory over Finland, and England will look to continue their positive away form after recent two-goal-margin wins in the Nations League against Finland and Ireland. Historically dominant in Greece, with four wins from four visits, England are primed for a crucial rematch that could see them regain control of their promotion push.
Greece:
Riding a perfect record in their debut League B campaign under Ivan Jovanovic, Greece have emerged as the team to beat, winning all four matches with nine goals scored and just one conceded. Since taking charge in August, Jovanovic has transformed Greece, leading them to a milestone victory against England at Wembley last month. With another win or draw on Thursday, Greece can secure promotion to League A with one game to spare. Greece's home record in the Nations League is formidable, boasting eight wins, two draws, and nine clean sheets in 11 games. The Blues and Whites, now 42nd in the FIFA rankings, will look to draw inspiration from their remarkable home support as they aim to solidify their place at the group summit and continue their ascent in European competition.
