Team Form and Analysis:
Greece enters this match as the overwhelming favorite after an impressive run of form. They have won their last three matches by three or more goals, including a recent 4-0 victory over Bulgaria. Under the management of Ivan Jovanović, the Greek team has adopted a pragmatic but effective approach and has been particularly strong in their home fixtures. They will be looking to start their qualifying campaign with a dominant victory.
Belarus, meanwhile, has had a mixed bag of results recently. While they have shown resilience in some matches, their most recent outing was a 4-1 loss to Russia, which highlighted defensive frailties that Greece will undoubtedly look to exploit. The visiting side’s strategy has often centered around defensive organization and counter-attacking opportunities, but they will need a much-improved performance to contain the Greek attack.
Head-to-Head:
The historical head-to-head record between these two nations is tied, with both teams securing one victory apiece in their two previous meetings. However, the most recent encounter, an international friendly in 2016, resulted in a narrow 1-0 away victory for Belarus. This will provide the visiting side with some psychological encouragement, but Greece’s current form gives them a clear edge.
Player to Watch:
Greece: All eyes will be on their in-form striker, Fotis Ioannidis, who has been in sensational form for both club and country. His goal-scoring ability and relentless attacking will be a constant threat to the Belarus defense.
Belarus: The focus for Belarus will be on their ability to maintain defensive discipline against a technically superior Greek side. They will need a standout performance from their defense and a clinical display from their attackers on the counter-attack to get a positive result.
Prediction:
Given Greece’s dominant form and their home advantage, they are the clear favorites to win this match. While Belarus has shown they can be a resilient opponent, their recent defensive vulnerabilities make them susceptible. A comfortable home victory for Greece seems like a very likely outcome.
