Player to watch: Vangelis Pavlidis
Vangelis Pavlidis was on the field for about 30 minutes in the first leg and was unable to get on the scoresheet for Greece. The Benfica player has put in some impressive performances in recent months, scoring 13 times and providing three assists in his last 15 appearances for club and country. Pavlidis will fancy his chances against Greece on Sunday evening.
