England continue their bid for an immediate return to the top level in the Nations League with a key match-up against Greece on Thursday.
The games between these two sides will almost certainly decide who takes top spot in the group as both teams are locked on six points after two games, with Greece holding the slender advantage of a superior goal difference.
We’ve gone for a 2-0 win for England in our dedicated Match Predictions section. I’ve focused on the player markets for this bet and combined an England scorer with two Greece bookings – as the Greeks picked up six yellow cards across their previous two Nations League games.

38/1 England vs Greece Bet Builder
Jack Grealish To Score Anytime
There is a chance Harry Kane could be rested for this game or at least see his minutes limited after taking a knock for Bayern Munich recently, which provides a chance to look for an alternative England scorer to their record holding skipper.
Jack Grealish hasn’t managed a goal for Manchester City in the Premier League this season but he did get on the scoresheet for the Three Lions in the last batch of Nations League games, grabbing a goal against Ireland in Dublin. Grealish has a bit more freedom when playing for England than he does for his club, and as an outside option for an anytime effort he stands out here.
Greece are an exceptional defensive unit and it may take a bit of inspiration and guile to find a way through, both of which are qualities Grealish possesses and 3/1 for an anytime strike looks good value.
Kostas Tsimikas To Be Shown A Card
Players who play for English clubs tend to try and raise their game against the Three Lions, which can occasionally lead to a player going a step too far. Liverpool’s Kostas Tsimikas is one of the biggest names in this Greece side and he will feel that responsibility in this big game, making him a candidate for a booking.
The full-back was booked against Ireland in Greece’s last game and picked up two yellow cards in eight Euro 2024 qualifiers. Tsimikas is also averaging 2.4 fouls per 90 mins in the Premier League and two fouls may be enough to see him enter the referee’s notebook on Thursday.
Manolis Siopis To Be Shown A Card
Manolis Siopis may have a bit of extra work to do in midfield as fellow holding midfielder Andreas Bouchalakis is absent from this squad.
Siopis picked up a card in the last pair of Nations League games and has two yellow cards in seven Championship games for Cardiff this season.
The Greek midfield and defence will face a lot of pressure on Thursday and a few of the visitors players could end up picking up cards, and Siopis looks a strong contender.
