Republic of Ireland vs Greece Prediction 13.10.2023

• Competition: European Qualifiers &— Group B
• Date: Thursday, 13th, October 2023
• Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20.45 CEST
• Venue: Aviva Stadium (Dublin)

Greece is determined to secure a spot in EURO 2024 held in Germany, and their main goal is to earn a victory against the Republic of Ireland in Dublin on Thursday. This crucial match takes place during the sixth round of Group B qualifiers, and Greece aims to gather all three points from this encounter.

Despite their immense fighting spirit, the Republic of Ireland has been unlucky with their results. Thanks to Gibraltar’s low-ranked team, Stephen Kenny’s men are not at the bottom of Group B. However, with only one victory in five qualification matches, which was achieved against one of the lowest-ranked national teams in the world, the Boys in Green find themselves second to last in their group. They are currently trailing the second-placed Netherlands by six points, and the Netherlands also have a game in hand. Although they still have a mathematical chance, it is highly unlikely for Ireland to make a comeback.

Greece’s national team is in a more favorable position compared to the Irish when it comes to qualifying for EURO in Germany next year. However, it is undeniable that they will need a significant stroke of luck to turn their dream into reality. So far, Greece has accumulated nine points from five qualification matches, putting them in second place alongside the Netherlands, who have a match advantage. After failing to reach the finals of the European Championship in 2016 and 2020, Gus Poyet’s team is determined to break that streak, although their mission is expected to be challenging.

Republic of Ireland vs Greece Betting Tips: X2 (Double chance)

In their previous encounter during this qualification campaign, the Greeks emerged triumphant with a narrow 2-1 victory, taking advantage of their home turf. It would not be surprising if they were to achieve the same result again. Additionally, Dublin has proven to be a favored destination for the Greek team, as they have secured victories in their previous two encounters on that turf, both times with a 1-0 scoreline. Looking at the history of matches between these two teams, it is evident that the Irish have yet to find a winning formula against the Greeks, as they have never defeated them in their four previous meetings. Therefore, we can expect the motivated Greek team to maintain their undefeated head-to-head record (W3, D1).

Having suffered four losses in their initial five qualifying matches, the Boys in Green understand that their chances of reaching Germany next year are extremely slim. Nevertheless, they are determined to finish this phase with grace and positivity. On the other hand, Greece cannot afford to leave Dublin without any points, as it could potentially shatter their hopes of securing a spot before confronting the Dutch. However, we are confident that this undesirable outcome will be avoided, as we anticipate Piratiko putting up a fierce fight to secure at least a point during this visit.
