Having won both of its opening matches, Ivan Jovanović’s side now turns its attention to a tough road ahead. On Thursday, Greece hosts the Netherlands in a game that could already go a long way toward securing its future. A positive result would, at worst, guarantee the team third place in its Nations League group.
Finishing in the top three is the goal for a clear reason: doing so would place Greece in the top seeding pot for the EURO 2028 qualifiers. A top-two finish would go further still, sending the team into the Nations League playoffs and earning valuable ranking points for the future.
