Prediction: 2-1
Greece
Following a routine 3-0 win over Gibraltar, France will look to cement top position in Group B when they take on second-place Greece at Stade de France. Les Tricolores faced no difficulites in the last group game, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry in the Group B derby. Anyhow, home win should be considered as Didier Deschamps can count on key players Kylian Mbappe, Olivier Giroud, Kingsley Coman, and Antoine Griezmann for Monday’s showdown.
The Galanolefki, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Gibraltar and Republic of Ireland, but they will have a mountain to climb in the “City of Lights”. Considering that France have turned their Stade de France into a real fortress, we do not believe that the visitors are capable of grabbing something from the match. Barring any fresh injury worries, Gustavo Poyet is unlikely to make changes to the team that faced the Boys in Green.
Highlighted Player (Antoine Griezmann):
Anthony Griezmann is a French forward born on 21st March 1991 in Macon, and he is widely regarded as one of Europe’s most exciting footballers at the moment. The pacey striker started showing his potential shortly after coming through Real Sociedad’s youth academy and he went on to score 46 goals in 179 league appearances for La Real. Excellent displays in Spanish la Liga saw him become a target for a number of top clubs, but he eventually choose to sign for Atletico Madrid, and that proved to be a very good decision.
Griezmann continued the rich vein of form at Vicente Calderon, scoring some important goals as los Colchoneros enjoyed domestic and European success, while also becoming a key member of the France national team.
Playing as a winger or second striker, Griezmann possesses impressive technical skills, he is a strong finisher and still finds time to work hard for his side, so no wonder he is widely regarded as one of the leading forwards on the continent. He won the U19 European Championship with France and is tipped to lead Les Bleus to glory on senior level as well.
Highlighted Team (Greece):
Former European champions Greece played their first official match on April 7, 1929, with the team suffering a heavy 4-1 loss to Italy in Athens. The Greeks booked their place at the FIFA World Cup finals in 1994 for the first time ever, but they failed to impress at the showpiece tournament in United States of America.
The Galanolefki were eliminated in the group stages of the 2010 FIFA World Cup as well, but they made it to the knockout stages of the tournament in Brazil four years later. However, the Greeks were more than unfortunate not to book their place in the quarter-finals as they were beaten by Costa Rica on penalties. However, Greece did remarkably well to win the 2004 European Championship and that is considered the national team’s biggest success.
Otto Rehhagel outplayed the likes of France and Czech Republic in the knockout stages to set up a meeting with hosts Portugal in the title game. Thanks to Angelos Charisteas’ goal 12 minutes into the second half Greece won the European Championship.
