SlipsTips shares a selection ahead of Greece’s clash with the Netherlands in the Nations League on Thursday night.
Greece vs Netherlands (Thursday, 19:45)
Greece will look to maintain their impressive start to the Nations League when they welcome the Netherlands to the Toumba Stadium on Thursday night.
Ivan Jovanovic’s side opened with a 2-1 win away to Serbia before claiming an eye-catching 1-0 victory in Germany on Sunday.
As for the Netherlands, they sit second in the section after drawing 1-1 with Germany and edging out Serbia 2-1 last time out.
The Dutch are 23/20 favourites, but those odds hold little appeal given how well Greece have started.
There could be value in siding with the hosts at 23/10 or getting them on side on the Asian handicap, though I prefer a player-based selection.
The evens (1/1) available with Paddy Power on Christos Tzolis to be fouled at least twice looks well worthy of support.
The Greece winger regularly attracts close attention from opposition defenders and was fouled three times against Germany on Sunday.
Notably, he was brought down seven times across Greece’s two World Cup qualifiers against Denmark and five times in a June friendly against Italy.
Since joining Arsenal, Tzolis has been fouled at least twice in three of his first five Premier League appearances, including three times against Chelsea.
His likely battle with Denzel Dumfries adds to the appeal of this selection.
The Dutch right-back has committed multiple fouls in four of his last nine appearances for the Netherlands, including four against Morocco at the World Cup.
With all that in mind, Tzolis looks worth backing to be fouled at least twice at even money.
