2026 WCQ: Greece - Denmark (8 September 2025 21:45 EEST, Stadio Giorgos Karaiskakis, Piraeus)

[Dutch Eagle]

MD 2. Probably our biggest rival we need to beat if we want to finish first. 

[ChrisT]

This will be a test for how far we've come.

We usually lose games like this, an uninspiring but solid Scandi team. 

[PaokCT]

What's good for us is they play a tough Scottish team before, while we can possibly rest some players vs Belarus.

[Antaeus7]

I think I read that a few Danish key players will miss this match. 

[Brklyngrk]

Will those players also miss the Scotland game?

[Antaeus7]

More likely yes

[pash]

Going into this game with Denmark having drawn at home. Could be a huge chance to build up a lead here. Definitely need a win; could get unlucky in one or two of the three remaining tough games after this.

[HellasLEAF]

Denmark will have even more urgency for the 3 points now.  We should look to capitalize on the counter if they open up at times. Will be a tough match for sure.  

[Antaeus7]

I found out that Christian Eriksen did not play in the home match vs. Scotland, so he will be out for this match as well. 

[paokarag4]

It goes without saying, this game will be far tougher than the one against Belarus. The Danes who have been mainstays at major tournaments for the last 7 or so years, have been able to build that solid record of qualification on a strong defence. They have been typically tough to break down and have had plenty of results by keeping a clean sheet. 

So it will be the first real test for our young guns and all their attacking flair. I expect Denmark will look to keep it tight and allow us to have the bulk of possession. Our attack has been blowing teams away, so an early goal and who knows. But I would anticipate a cat and mouse game. 

I don't expect Jovanovic to make any changes to the starting 11 that we saw today. Even though plenty (myself included) wanted to see Konstantelias instead of Bakasetas, you can't deny Bakasetas has performed time and time again for the Ethniki. He had another good game against the Belarusians, so I don't think he will be dropped for this one. 

[pash]

If they're defensively strong, then this is great news. We have an overabundance of attacking talent. And my spirit animal Koulierakis might get annoyed and carry out some attacks on his own too. A good win here will make a serious statement.

My company is subtitling this tonight and I'm going to switch the subtitles on in 15 minutes. But Amazon have only supplied us with an audio feed, so I won't be able to watch it, so annoying!

I've never heard a commentator describe a Greece game as "a mouthwatering prospect awaits"

[Omonoia9]

This is indeed on Amazon Prime!
