Qualifying match for the European Fem, which faces Greece VS Rep. Ireland, at 13:00 pm at the Stadio Néas Smírnis in Athens.
For this meeting we will look for Ireland to take all 3 points.
Group I formed by Germany, Ireland, Greece, Ukraine and MOntenegro. The 1st place will be for the Germans, and we will see who occupies the 2nd position. I think it should be for Ireland, but in Ukraine some point could be left, we’ll see.
At the moment for this match I think the Irish arrive very well. Currently in 2nd position with 6 points out of 6 possible, 5 goals in favor and 2 against. Both matches at home.
They have a new coach, the Dutch Vera Pauw, who has some experience in this world. It comes from training Houston Dash in the US, in addition to having directed South Africa, Russia and the Netherlands in the past. As I said, since 2 matches were incorporated, 2 victories. 2-0 against Montenegro and 3-2 against Ukraine. This last game, before a stadium delivered, and I think that Vera’s players have been given extra motivation for what is to come.
Team have to win, with a call formed by the best players in their league, including those who play in England, Germany, Scotland, USA and Italy, they have a very competitive team. Players with experience in large matches, with what I think may be above the Greeks.
The game we will see as Greece raises, but playing at home I do not think they are locked in 90 minutes, and Ireland upstairs have with Jarret and McCabe, so we will see if they are right. I say this, because Montenegro did not take so many more for that (besides it was the 1st VEra match), they planted the bus, and I expect a Greece that after winning 0-4a Montenegro will go out a little more to the attack.
Greece, 3rd position with 3 points in 2 games. Victory against Montenegro 0-4 and little else. Defeat against Germany 0-5.
Few appearances until the international moment. In 2018 dobe tie with Slovakia, defeats against Poland and Albania. Ukraine beat them 2-0 3 years ago, and Ireland comes from beating Ukraine.
In short, I think there may be some difference between the two, and considering that the 2 place of this group I still does not own, I think Ireland should take the 3 points of Athens, We will see what happens.
PREDICTION: Ireland W to win @ 1,50
