Peter Green - October 14, 2019
Greece vs Bosnia-Herzegovina
Euro 2020 Qualification
Date: Tuesday, 15 October 2019
Kick-off at 19:45 UK/ 20:45 CET
Venue: Olympic Stadium of Athens “Spiros Louis” (Athens).
With Finland, and Armenia taking on each other this match-day, the Bosnian contingent will consider this game an opportunity to make a serious foray into the top-most tier. And thus into the qualification spots. As of now, they lag two points behind the second and final cut-off for progression.
John van’t Schip’s men are placed second to last in the table and have secured just five points from their seven match-ups so far. Their offense has also been not up to the mark, with the attack contributing a total of mere seven goals till now.
Opponents Herzegovina meanwhile have double the points than that of their counterparts and stand a realistic chance of making the main competition. The second-placed Finland, who has twelve points to their name, and third-placed Armenia, with ten points on the board, are going against each other next. And this potentially could result in an advantageous situation for the Dragons.
Consider that the Greeks are winless in their last seven games, and had lost five of their prior six as well. They had failed to score in two of their preceding three ties. And conceded twice or more in five of their last seven matches.
In front of their home crowd, they are winless in their previous four attempts and lost three of these. Moreover, the team failed to score twice in the process and conceded thrice or more in two of the prior three appearances there.
On the other hand, their opposite number won two of their prior three fixtures and scored four or more goals in these two games. While they do have the away handicap to overcome, the chance to make it to the Euro mains will motivate them to go after the win against the almost-eliminated Greeks.
As such, count on a win by the guests this Tuesday.
