Analysis and predictions for Greece vs England: A determination for revenge.

England will be looking for revenge when they travel to the Olympiako Stadio Spyros Louis in Athens to face Greece in their penultimate Group B2 League B match in the UEFA Nations League on Thursday evening.

The Three Lions suffered a surprising 1-2 defeat to the Blue and White team at Wembley last month, with two goals from Vangelis Pavlidis, including a 94th-minute goal that gave Greece the win.

Latest information on the Greece vs England squad

Greek midfielder Dimitrios Kourbelis will serve a one-match suspension for accumulating yellow cards, therefore one of three players – Petros Mantalos, Christos Zafeiris, or Sotiris Alexandropoulos – could replace him and play alongside Cardiff City's Manolis Siopis.

Despite having few opportunities to play for Newcastle United this season, Odysseas Vlachodimos is still considered the national team's number one goalkeeper and is expected to start in Thursday's match against England. In addition, Liverpool's Kostas Tsimikas and West Ham United's Konstantinos Mavropanos are also expected to feature in the starting lineup in defense.

After scoring two goals in the first leg against England, Vangelis Pavlidis could continue to lead the attack, although Fotis Ioannidis – who scored three goals in Greece's first two Nations League matches – will return to the squad after recovering from injury. Greece have never lost when Ioannidis scored (W3 D1).

On the English side, Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice, Phil Foden, Jack Grealish, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Cole Palmer, Levi Colwill, and Aaron Ramsdale were all absent from Carsley's squad, while John Stones, Kobbie Mainoo, Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw, and Eberechi Eze were also unavailable due to injury.

Morgan Rogers, Taylor Harwood-Bellis and Lewis Hall all received their first call-ups to the national team, while Jarrod Bowen, Jarrad Branthwaite, Valentino Livramento and James Trafford also received their call-ups along with Rogers on Monday evening.

Kyle Walker is still in the squad despite a question mark over his fitness, and it will be up to him to decide whether he will start at right-back, replacing Livramento, Ezri Konsa, or his Man City teammate Rico Lewis, who could also be deployed at left-back alongside Hall.

Rice's absence could create opportunities for Lille's Angel Gomes to partner with Atletico Madrid's Conor Gallagher in midfield, while Noni Madueke, Jude Bellingham, and Anthony Gordon could link up with striker and captain Harry Kane in attack.

Latest football match prediction: Greece vs England

The clash between England and Greece on Thursday will mark the first match since the appointment of new head coach Thomas Tuchel. He is the third foreign coach for the Three Lions, who was announced as Gareth Southgate's successor on October 16 and signed an 18-month contract.

However, the German manager, who previously managed Bayern Munich and Chelsea, will officially take over the job next January, so Lee Carsley will continue as interim manager for England's remaining two Nations League matches this month, against Greece and the Republic of Ireland.

Carsley's experimentation with the lineup in last month's disappointing defeat to Greece didn't yield the expected results, but England quickly bounced back with a 3-1 victory over Finland in Helsinki, keeping their hopes of promotion to League A alive and setting a new national team record.

Ranked fourth in the FIFA rankings, England are currently second in their Nations League group, three points behind Greece. A win by at least two goals on Thursday would see England take the lead in the group on goal difference, with only one game remaining.

England have won their last two away Nations League matches by two goals (against Finland and Ireland), and they have won all four of their away games against Greece with a combined score of 9-1. Only Luxembourg (5/5) is the country against which the Three Lions have a 100% win rate when playing away.

Since coach Ivan Jovanovic was appointed in August, Greece have won all four of their Nations League matches in their first League B campaign, scoring nine goals and conceding only one, and they are very close to securing promotion to League A for the first time in their history.

After securing maximum points with victories against Finland and Ireland, Greece achieved their first-ever win against England in an emotional night at Wembley, following the sudden death of international George Baldock at the age of 31.

Greece returned to their home ground just three days later and successfully defended their unbeaten record in League B with a 2-0 victory over the Republic of Ireland, thanks to goals from Anastasios Bakasetas and Petros Mantalos in the second half.

Currently, Greece are ranked 42nd in the FIFA rankings, up 12 places since July, and they know that a win against England on Thursday will secure their top spot with one game remaining, while a draw would also be enough for them to maintain their lead thanks to their head-to-head record.

Jovanovic's players will be confident of further success playing at home, where they have won eight and drawn two of their 11 Nations League matches, impressively keeping nine clean sheets in those games. The pressure will be on Carsley to lead England to a crucial victory, and the team's task is to take the initiative against Greece, who have impressed at home and become a difficult opponent to break down in the support of their fans.

Although England will be missing some key players that Carsley wants in the squad, he still has plenty of talent at his disposal, and if he opts for a less experimental lineup with Harry Kane leading the attack, the Three Lions could very well win in Athens.
