Euro 2008 - Greece v Russia

Greece V Russia

Two teams without a point and defeat for either means an early exit for the loser so both will be keen to take the three points.

Neither side impressed too much in the opener but at least Greece looked like getting a result. The Russians caved in far too early and never really looked like getting anything from the game. Even when they were behind they never attacked the game as if they were desperate for a result, inatead they passed it about and didnt seem too worried.

Greece don’t play the most attractive football but it is usually effective. For large parts of the Sweden game they looked comfortable but my only concern was the lack of a threat up front. The defence is the first priority but Otto Rehhagel is likely to be a little more adventurous tonight.

Russia are a well drilled team and have a great leader in Hiddink. However they are sorely missing their top scorer Pogrebnyak and look very tame up front.

Verdict

Il keep it short and sweet, why the Russians have been installed as favourites im not sure but one thing is for certain and that is that Greece wont go out as defending champions without a fight. I would give the Greeks the slight edge but am very weary of a draw so Greece +0.5 is my choice in a low scoring encounter
