Greece vs Denmark

, KO: 19:45 , Stadio Georgios Karaiskakis
Denmark

Greece started their World Cup qualifying campaign in style by thrashing Belarus and if they can follow it up with another win against Denmark it will give them a great chance of reaching the finals.

The Greeks have been in the international wilderness for the last decade, failing to qualify for a major tournament since reaching the last 16 at the 2014 World Cup.

But they have a talented new generation of talent and those players showed their class by demolishing Belarus 5-1 in the Group C opener on Friday night.

Our man Greg backed them to win that game to nil so he would have been upset to see Greece concede a late consolation after romping 5-0 ahead.

Denmark will offer a much bigger threat in their second qualifier but they didn't look in great shape during their 0-0 draw with Scotland.

The Danes have been World Cup regulars of late, qualifying for three of the last four finals, but will need to up their game to top such a competitive group.

The clashes with Greece should be crucial and it will be fascinating to see if they can emerge from a hostile Stadio Georgios Karaiskakis with a decent result.

How the bookies view it: Greeks look good at 6/4

After such an impressive performance on Friday night, I'm surprised to see Greece as big as 6/4 for a win at BoyleSports. Denmark are 21/10 with the same firm and the draw pays 2/1.

Players to watch: Konstant threat

Wonderkid Konstantinos Karetsas announced himself at international level with a stunning goal in the 3-1 Nations League win over Scotland. The teenager scored again on Friday against Belarus so looks a bit overpriced for a goal here at 5/1 with Bet365. He's also a tasty 12/5 to either score or assist.

Brentford midfielder Mikel Damsgaard was Denmark's brightest spark against the Scots and his creativity will be key to unlocking Greece's defence. He's 9/4 with Bet365 to score or assist in this one.

Probable line-ups

Greece should stick with the same side than ran amok agains Belarus, while Danish boss Brian Riemer will consider a few changes after such a punchless performance against the Scots.

Greece: Tzolakis, Vagiannidis, Mavropanos, Koulierakis, Tsimikas, Kourbelis, Zafeiris, Karetsas, Bakasetas, Tzolis, Pavlidis.

Denmark: Schmeichel, Kristensen, Andersen, Christensen, Gronbaek, Hjulmand, Hojbjerg, Maehle, Damsgaard, Hojlund, Biereth.

Anything else catch the eye?

Greece's games have been pretty entertaining of late, with over 2.5 goals coming up in their last four outings. That bet pays 13/10 with BoyleSports here and looks worth a punt, even though Denmark's clash with Scotland ended without a goal.

Morten Hjulmand will be at the heart of the midfield battle and the Sporting Lisbon enforcer is usually decent value for a card. He picked up 15 yellows and a red last term and is worth a punt once that market is priced up.

Denmark racked up 13 corners on Friday while Greece also won 11 in their clash with Belarus. That suggests we could see a lot of flag kicks here and over 10.5 corners looks likely, although I've yet to see any prices for that market.
