Greece vs Republic of Ireland Predictions

• Greece have been ahead at HT and FT in three of their lats four home internationals
• Republic of Ireland have conceded first-half goals in four of their last five games and been behind at HT in three of their last four
• Christos Tzolis, who bagged 22 league goals for Fortuna Dusseldorf last season, has scored two goals in his last four appearances for Greece

Greece can maintain their momentum

Greece can maintain their UEFA Nations League B promotion bid when they entertain Republic of Ireland at Stadio Georgios Karaiskáki on Sunday. Ivan Jovanović’s side secured a crucial three points in difficult circumstances when they beat England 2-1 at Wembley on Thursday.

They dedicated the famous win, their first against England, to former teammate George Baldock and will want to maintain the momentum of the autumn against the Irish in Piraeus.

Heimir Hallgrimson’s men also earned a surprising win on Thursday as they came from behind to beat Finland in Helsinki. That might kickstart their campaign, which has not really caught fire under the ex-Iceland boss.

Ethniki may be in front at HT too

However, Greece’s home form and Ireland’s away woes prior to this week suggest Ethniki will be collecting the three points on offer. Greece have won eight of their last 11 on home soil while Ireland have lost four of their last six on the road.

Greece have been ahead at HT and FT in three of their last four home internationals, which opens up the possibility of more than doubling the hosts’ match odds by taking a similar betting route here.

The Republic of Ireland have conceded first-half goals in four of their last five games and been behind at HT in three of their last four, so it would be no surprise to see them trailing before the break.
