Last … roll to qualify for the WC ATHEN 9.84
The national team is playing a playoff against Sweden in order to a big double that will give it serious hopes of qualifying for the World Cup in Qatar.
Our national team after the stressful double in Georgia tonight (21:45, Open, Cosmotesport1), gives a very big match in Solna against Sweden, against the background of the qualifiers for the World Cup in Qatar.
The Scandinavians have a very “fresh” and renewed team and with a victory they effectively “clean” the 2nd place that leads to the qualifiers in the World Cup 2022 and will go for the first battle with Spain.
On the other hand, no one can write off our national team, which remains undefeated in 14 official matches since October 2019 and a few weeks ago in OAKA defeated the Scandinavians, remained alive in the claim of second place.
The problems are again very much for John Fant ‘Sip. Zeka is absent due to a cross, Kyriakos Papadopoulos is knocked out with a fracture, in addition to Giorgos Tzavellas due to card. At the press conference on Monday (11/10), the Dutch coach left open the opportunity to change 3-4-1-2 to 4-3-3, but during the last training session on Swedish soil, he did not open his card.
The Swedes will play a classic 4-4-2 and Olsen, Kraft, Lindelof, Danielson, Augustinson, Claesson, Ekdal, Olson, Forsberg, Isaac and Quizon in the starting lineup.
Greece’s coach will hardly put away 3-4-1-2 which was extremely effective in all “press” matches, with Stafilidis taking the place of the punished Tzavellas in the position of left stopper, next to Hadjidiakos and Mavropano.
From there, Vlachodimos will again be the main goalkeeper, at both ends Tsimikas and Androutsos, with Bouhalakis and Siopis on the shoulder, Bakasetas a little further and Masouras – Douvika or Pavlidis in the attack.
The referee of the match will be the German Tobias Stiller, with assistants Christian Gittelmann, Edward Beitinger and 4th Christian Banstubner. In VAR, the German Christian Dingert and AVAR will be his compatriot Güder Pearl.
