Greece-Israel


Crazy

Recommended Posts

Greece is hosting Israel tomorrow of what might be our golden opportunity to get on top in the group F.Greece will be missing Torosidis with a suspension and Tziolis due to injury.Kafes and Vyntas are to take their place in our starting 11.

Match backround and history:

• Greece's record in 13 games against Israel is W6 D5 L2 (W4 D1 L1 at home).

• Greece's last three home matches against Israel – friendlies on 28 March 1990 and 24 January 1996, as well as their most recent World Cup qualifying encounter in Heraklion on 1 April 2009 – all ended in 2-1 wins for the home side.

• Israel's only victory in six trips to Greece was a 1-0 friendly success in Patras on 22 September 1976.

• The teams first locked horns on 1 November 1953 in Athens, with Greece prevailing 1-0 in a World Cup qualifier. The return fixture in Tel Aviv then produced a 2-0 victory for the away side, and that proved to be their last competitive meeting for over 50 years.

• Prior to the foundation of the state of Israel, Greece contested two World Cup qualifiers against Eretz Israel during the time of the British Mandate for Palestine, winning 3-1 in Tel Aviv on 22 January 1938 and 1-0 in Athens on 20 February the same year.
