Greece Draw no Bet
Greece opened their Euro 2024 qualification account with a routine win at Gibraltar and although the Republic of Ireland should provide stiffer opposition in Athens on Friday, another positive result could be in the offing for Gustavo Poyet’s side. Greece are as strong as they come on home soil and their only defeat in their last 17 fixtures at home came against Spain. The dogged Irish outfit can be tough to topple however, and they pushed France to the brink in Dublin in March despite an eventual defeat. With those factors aligned, the first of our football predictions today recommends a stake on Greece in the draw no bet market.
Under 2.5 Goals
The second of today’s Greece vs Republic of Ireland predictions dips into the goals markets where we expect little in the way of action. Stephen Kenny’s Boys in Green still have trouble finding the net in competitive fixtures, as evidenced by the blank they drew against France in March, though they do bring defensive resilience to the table in most of the games they contest. Eight of their last 15 competitive fixtures have featured under 2.5 goals as a result and more of the same could be in the works on Friday.

Greece vs Republic of Ireland Team News & Injuries
Read all of the latest injury updates, Greece vs Republic of Ireland lineups and team news for Friday’s European Championship qualifiers contest below.
Greece
Kostas Fortounis, Tasos Douvikas and Christos Tzolis are all missing from the Greece squad at present, though there are plenty of big names on the roster elsewhere. 11 of the players named by Gus Poyet currently ply their trade in the Greek domestic division.
Predicted Lineup for Greece: Vlachodimos – Baldock, Mavropanos, Hatzidakos, Tsimikas – Siopis, Mantalos, Masouras, Bakasetas, Pelkas – Giakoumakis
Republic of Ireland
Robbie Brady, Chiedozie Ogbene and Callum Robinson are three notable absentees from the Ireland squad ahead of the latest qualification fixtures. Stephen Kenny takes a youthful looking panel to Greene on Friday with plenty of fresh-looking faces in attack to look out for.
Predicted Lineup for Republic of Ireland: Bazunu – Collins, Egan, O'Shea – Doherty, Cullen, Molumby, Knight, O'Dowda – Parrott, Ferguson
Player to Watch – Evan Ferguson
Evan Ferguson was one of the Premier League’s biggest breakout starts in 2022/23 and the Brighton striker is among the most-coveted young players in Europe at the moment.
The 18-year-old managed to bag ten goals in 19 appearances at the back end of the season and the teenager should be able to transfer his skills to the international stage having already marked his first senior Irish start with a goal against Latvia in March.
