England vs Greece: Prediction, kick-off time, TV, live stream, team news, h2h results, odds

England and Greece this week meet in a Nations League fixture, in what is the first game between the two countries in 18 years, and another chance for Lee Carsley to impress as interim manager of the Three Lions.

Both sides won their opening two B2 games, convincingly defeating Ireland and Finland, but the Greeks sit atop the group due to their superior goal difference.

England come into the game as heavy favourites, and have never lost to their opponents in nine previous meetings, seven of which they won. It is the 2-2 draw and David Beckham’s last-minute free kick 23 years ago this month that sent England to the 2002 World Cup, though, that remains the standout moment.

The Three Lions will be looking to extend that record to 10 games, as they look to make an instant return to Nations League A.

England vs Greece team news

Captain Harry Kane has been given the all-clear after suffering an injury scare while playing for Bayern Munich on Saturday, but Ezri Konsa, Kobbie Mainno and Morgan Gibbs-White have all withdrawn after picking up injuries on Sunday. No replacements will be called up.

Dominic Solanke has earned his first call-up in seven years, while Phil Foden, Jude Bellingham and Kyle Walker will all hope tp feature for the first time since the Euro 2024 final.

Greece have no major injury concerns, and will hope West Ham’s Dinos Mavropanos and Liverpool’s Kostas Tsimikas can help them to a famous result.

England vs Greece prediction

Despite the absence of Kane, it’s hard to see anything but a comfortable win for England here against a side 48th in the FIFA world rankings.

It will do Carsley’s job prospects no harm either.

England to win 3-0.
