Competition: International Friendly
Market: Greece win
Odds: 2/5 @ Pribet
Looking to extend on their recent purple patch, Greece will welcome Bulgaria to Heraklion for a friendly showdown on Tuesday night.
Starting with the hosts, securing a Nations League top-flight ticket earlier in the year as they collected a stellar 3-1 aggregate victory against Scotland, Greece find themselves at the heart of a real flurry. Marking their return over the weekend as they stormed their way to a 4-1 romp against Slovakia, Ivan Jovanovic’s side will be looking to extend on their recent charge here. g off 2024 with a rugged 2-0 win away at Finland, the Ethniki have won three of their previous four appearances across all competitions. Likewise, Greece have also won eight of their last 10 outings – a run that stems back over the past 12 months. Making real history back in October as they claimed a famous 2-1 win away at European heavyweights England, Tuesday’s hosts have also found a clinical edge in the final third. Landing a 2-0 victory when they last met Bulgaria in 2004, Greece are rightfully installed as a standout contender in Heraklion.
As for the visitors, getting 2025 underway with consecutive 2-1 losses against Ireland, Bulgaria are enduring what has been an extended rut. Suffering late frustration at home against Cyprus last weekend as they eventually had to settle for a 2-2 stalemate, the Lions have mustered just a single win from any of their previous seven appearances across all competitions. With their issues underlined by a woeful 5-0 drumming at the hands of Northern Ireland back on October 15th, Ilian Iliev’s side have also shown some worrying defensive struggles. It should also be highlighted, Bulgaria have ed just a trio of wins from any of their last 24 straight outings – a run that stems all the way back to November 2022. Likewise, losing all of their four historic trips to Greece by an aggregate score of 6-1, Tuesday’s hosts should be bracing themselves for another tricky test when they travel to Heraklion.
