Nations League: Greece vs. England Prediction — Lee Carsley Aiming to End Three Lions Stint on a High Point (Nov 14)

A must-win match for England in the Nations League is staged on Thursday, as the Three Lions must beat Greece in Athens if they are to have any chance of achieving promotion.

Greece will take confidence from the fact that they beat the Three Lions at Wembley last month, and they currently sit three points ahead of England in the League B Group 2 standings.

Lee Carsley will be hoping to end his short stint as Three Lions boss on a high point, before Thomas Tuchel takes over at the start of 2025.

Odds

Despite losing on home soil last month, England are a heavy odds-on chance to gain revenge on Thursday. A home victory for Greece is an eye-catching price at +410.

Memorable Away Win For Greece in England Last Month

Greece upset the odds at Wembley last month to record a shock 2-1 win over England. However, the EURO 2004 champions could have easily won by a wider margin in London.

That was the first defeat England had suffered in ten internationals against Greece. However, the Three Lions have played out draws on two of their last four visits to Athens.

However, based on the performances under Carsley, there could be value in the draw for this penultimate match in the Nations League.
