The journey to the EUROs continues on Thursday with the qualifying playoffs taking place. Greece, the former EURO 2004 champions, are under immense pressure as they must defeat Kazakhstan to have a chance of reaching the major tournament this year.
Euro 2024 Qualifying Playoffs Preview
In the last 20 years, Greece has struggled to replicate the success of their EURO 2004 triumph. They have only qualified for the major tournament twice in the past five editions.
Despite finishing third in Group B, Greece secured a playoffs spot based on their performances in the Nations League. They won four out of eight group stage matches, including a notable home draw against France. Their home record was also solid, with just one defeat in four matches.
Kazakhstan, on the other hand, will be looking to make history by qualifying for a major tournament for the first time. They achieved a record number of wins in their EURO qualifying campaign and have been in good form recently, winning three out of their last four matches.
Greece vs Kazakhstan Head to Head
This will be the fourth meeting between Greece and Kazakhstan, with Greece winning all three previous encounters. Their most recent victory dates back to March 2006 in the Cyprus International Tournament.
Greece vs Kazakhstan Prediction
Despite Greece’s strong record against Kazakhstan, a low-scoring game is expected with under 2.5 goals. Greece might need extra time to secure their place in the next round of the playoffs.
