Today, Sunday, October 13, 2024, Greece and Ireland go head-to-head in a highly anticipated UEFA Nations League B match. The game will take place at the Karaiskakis Stadium in Piraeus, Greece, with a kick-off time of 2:45 pm ET/ 11:45 am PT.
Greece is coming off a historic 2-1 victory over England at Wembley, a match that was played with heavy hearts following the tragic passing of former Sheffield United and Premier League player George Baldock. Despite the emotional toll, Greece’s in-form side is looking to solidify their position at the top of the group with another win. Coach Ivan Jovanovic may have to make some defensive adjustments due to the suspension of center-back Konstantinos Koulierakis, with Pantelis Hatzidiakos and Panagiotis Retsos competing for the spot.
Ireland, on the other hand, is building momentum after a 2-1 victory over Finland on Thursday, thanks to a late goal from Robbie Brady. This win marked Heimir Hallgrimsson‘s first victory as Ireland’s coach after a challenging start. The team is in good shape for the match, although they lost Cardiff City defender Callum O’Dowda to injury before the Finland game. Brighton & Hove Albion‘s Evan Ferguson is expected to play a key role, despite struggling to create clear chances in the previous match.
Fans can watch the match live through various streaming services, including Fubo and ViX in the United States. For those abroad, using a VPN may be necessary to access these services.
The match promises to be an exciting encounter, with Greece favored to win given their recent form and home advantage. However, Ireland’s positive mindset and recent victory could make for a competitive game.
