On March 1-3, the 2019 European Indoor Championship will be at Glasgow, United Kingdom. 
I am going to say that 4 Greek athletes are expected to medal (Stefanidi, Papachristou, Tentoglou, and Belibasaki). Maybe athletes like Karalis might have a shot at a medal.

Maria Belibasaki and Elisavet Pesiridou both will not make the trip due to injuries. Paraskevi Papachrstiou did recover in time and is in better shape. Her 14.25 (indoor) from last season puts her in Glasgow.

3 medals sounds reasonable, but as we witnessed in Berlin, 3 other athletes unexpectedly won medals along with the 3 favorable ones. We have a very good group of Greek athletes here. Greece never won 2 gold medals in the same European Athletics Indoor Championships before. I read an article that Glasgow 2019 will host 637 athletes (a new record for this event). This should be an exciting one.

Pitor Lisek increased his seasons best at 5.93 
Emmanuel Karalis can win bronze since that spot is wide open after Renaud Lavillenie and Pitor Lisek 
Armand Dulpantis isn't competing in Europe, he is competing for his college LSU. The Russian Timor Morgonov isn't competing either.

Filipidis and Karalis both have the same chances if they have a good day. The only  other chance for a medals I see Kyriakopoulou and Tentoglou. Stefanidi and Papchristou are question marks as they did not have good indoor season so far. Hopefully they will surprise us.

In the field events of the European Athletics Indoor Championship, only 8 athletes qualify for the finals (unless more than 8 athletes get the automatic qualifying standard). Tomorrow, Tentoglou starts off in the men's long jump. 7.95 is the automatic spot. He should make the finals. He is the world leader at 8.23. Skarvelis throws in the men's shot put. 20.90 is the automatic spot. It's a long shot for him, his season's best is 20.11. Dimitriakis running in the 3rd heat in the men's 1500. First two from each heat qualifies along with the 3 best times. He does not stand a chance. He will have to break his personal best to have any chance of making the final cut. Papachristou has a shot, but it's not a guarantee since she is rusty after returning from injury and has not performed any indoor meets this season. She can jump 14.20 to get in automatically, even if she jumps around 14.10, she should be fine.

Vasiliou runs in the 7th heat of the women's 400 m. She has a very slim chance of advancing into the semifinals. She will need to do better than 53.39. Top 2 of each heat plus 4 best time goes through.  Baniotis is an enigma. His seasons best is 2.27. 2.28 is the automatic spot. He seems to do well in indoor events, had a couple of 4th place finishes. 50/50 chance for him to qualify. Gousin is having a career indoor season, besting her mark at 1.94. She will need 1.96 to go to the finals. I honestly think she has a long shot. And finally in the men's pole vault both Karalis and Filippidis are favored to qualify for the finals, even though the automatic qualifying mark is 5.80. ? Yikes!

I was wrong, Zikos has the 5th fastest time among all European participants. But, you are right he will have to break the 6.62 barrier in order to reach the finals.

Good results for Greek athletes in the morning qualifying stages. Four out of six athletes qualified to the finals:

Athletes that qualified:

LJ:  Tentoglou - 8.01m
SP:  Skarvelis - 20.38m
HJ:  Baniotis - 2.25m
TJ:  Papachristou - 14.28m

Not qualifying:

400 M: Vasiliou - 53.66
1,500 M: Dimitrakis - 3:50.94

In the afternoon competitions we have the men's pole vault qualifying (Filipidis, Karalis) and Skarvelis taking part in the shot put final.

Skarvelis impressed me on his last 2 throws at 20.30 and 20.34, just 3 cm short of breaking the Greek National Indoor Record. 
Baniotis didn't miss many to get to 2.25, only one got the automatic spot of 2.28, the others remained in the same height with Baniotis. 
Papachristou did not miss a beat, she qualified with ease. Tentoglou is being...well Tentoglou. lol 

As for the runners, it was expected 

I expect Karalis and Filippidis both to qualify. Gousin is also jumping later today. It will be a challenge for her. Too many good female high jumpers in the field.

In women's pole vault, I expect Stefanidi and Kyriakopoulou to qualify for the finals. Polak has no chance. 
Saturday will be a big day for sprinting. We will keeping an eye on Zikos. He has the potential to go to the finals if he can break his personal best. Trivyzas, Sterigoulis, and Spandoudaki have little to no chance to advance into the semifinals. Douvalidis should make the semifinals and as usual fail to advance into the finals. 

In the men's high jump, Baniotis have a slim chance at a medal. He is an indoor specialist, will see. 
In the men's pole vault, I have high hopes for Karalis to give Greece it's first medal. 

Can't wait!
