Netherlands vs Greece Preview & Tips


The Netherlands are looking to take full control of Nations League Group 2 this week as they face a Greece side with the same hope as them, with both teams perched at the top on eight points each.

  • The Netherlands beat Serbia 2-1 in their last Nations League home game
  • The home side have scored and conceded in all four of their Nations League games

Head To Head


In their last 10 meetings, the Netherlands have won seven times, Greece have secured one win and two games have ended as draws.

Netherlands Form


The Netherlands may have avoided defeat across their opening four matches, but they are not out of the woods yet, with Greece matching them all the way in a group that will likely go down to the wire.

A pair of 2-1 wins over Serbia have come alongside a 1-1 draw against Germany at home and a 2-2 stalemate with Greece on the road. While they have avoided defeat, they have not looked hugely comfortable against any side. While it is important that they keep avoiding defeat, the Netherlands may come up short if they play some of the stronger sides in a potential knockout round.

With this in mind, I back the Netherlands to show that they are too strong for Greece at home. The hosts need to show that they can beat any side on their own patch if they are to be a top team, and I predict that they will start this with a positive result against Greece.

Greece Form


Greece have been very impressive across their opening four matches in Nations League Group 2 after avoiding defeat and sitting above Germany with two games to be played.

Wins over Serbia (2-1) and Germany (1-0) on the road ensured that nobody was underestimating Greece, but they have since dropped four points across their next two home games, drawing 2-2 with the Netherlands and 0-0 with Germany.

Topping the group is very much in their own hands, especially with a home game against pointless Serbia to come. Winning this one puts them three points ahead of the Netherlands with one game to go, which means a draw against Serbia would be enough to send Greece through top.

However, their failure to win their last two outings coupled with two defeats in their last three against their opponents means I am backing Greece to lose despite being the fifth consecutive side to breach the defence of the home team.

Verdict

I am backing the Netherlands to take all three points from Greece despite failing to keep a clean sheet once again.
