Spain vs. Greece Tips & Quotas, 25.03.2021 – 20:45 – World Cup Qualification Europe
The Spanish national football team will welcome to the home stadium Nuevo Los Carmenes in Granada on Thursday evening, 25.03.2021 at 20:45 to kick off the World Cup qualification Greece. The Furia Roja played a good year in 2020 and qualified for the next round in the Nations League, where they will meet Italy in the semi-finals in October this year. The 2004 European Champion also looks back on a good last year and even remained unbeaten in the NL, but just missed promotion to the B-League. The World Cup qualifying group is completed by Georgia, Kosovo and Sweden.

Luis Enrique’s national team swept Germany 6-0 in the last Nations-League game, securing the group victory and thus the entry into the semi-finals. Alvaro Morata (17th), Ferran Torres (33rd, 55th, 71st), Rodri (38th) and Mikel Oyarzabal (89th) scored the goals for the Iberians. Despite the strong finish, not all was gold that shone. Only three out of six group games were won and in Ukraine there was even a 0-1 defeat. In addition, there was only one division of points in Switzerland before the shooters’ festival against the DFB-Elf. In the first leg in Germany, Furia Roja made the fortunate balance with the very last attack.
The European Championships in a few months will demand a little more from the Spaniards. Group E will again encounter Sweden, Poland and Slovakia. The 2016 European Championships in France was not a good patch for the southern Europeans. Although the preliminary round started well with two victories against the Czech Republic and Turkey, the last group game was followed by a defeat against Croatia and the eighteenth round draw against Italy.
The World Cup in Russia also ended three years ago after the final of the eighteen. The unique World Cup winner failed in the round of the last 16 teams to host Russia after penalty shootouts. Already in the group phase there was only one victory against Iran and two draws against Portugal and Morocco.
Dani Olmo from the Bundesliga club RB Leipzig participates in the three international matches in March. Captain Sergio Ramos of Real Madrid is injured (sprain). The defender’s use of his country is still uncertain.

The Greek national team remained unbeaten in all six NL matches, but nevertheless had to settle for second place behind Slovenia and will remain in the C-League next season. John van `t Schip’s last international game was played against the group winner from Slovenia and did not go beyond a zero number. Since the first leg in Slovenia also ended without goals, the Greeks would have had a home win for promotion. Moldova could be beaten twice and they celebrated a 2-1 victory in Kosovo. The only defeat was in a friendly match in Austria in 2020 (1-2).
After 2016, Greece will also miss THE EURO 2021. Hellas was last present in Poland and Ukraine in 2012 and qualified for the quarter-finals. But against Germany it was over (2:4).
Even at the last World Championships in Russia, Galanolefki was only in the audience. Four years earlier in Brazil they were present and also survived the group phase against Colombia, Ivory Coast and Japan. In the final of the eighteen, however, the Greeks were unfortunately beaten against Costa Rica after penalties.
Pantelis Chatzidiakos (AZ Alkmaar) will be absent due to injury. Christos Tzolis (PAOK Thessaloniki), Konstantinos Fortounis (Olympiakos Piraeus), Kostantinos Tsimikas (FC Liverpool) and goalkeeper Odysseas Vlachodimos (Benfica Lisbon) are the top players in all four parts of the team.

Spain is a huge favourite against Greece for the first three points in the first World Cup qualifying game. The Furia Roja finished last year with a 6-0 edge win in the Nations League against Germany and this year will again have important international matches with the NL semi-finals against Italy, the World Cup qualifying and the European Championship. The Galanolefki also had a good year 2020, barely missed promotion in the Nations League and remained unbeaten in the competitive matches. However, the last major football events took place without the 2004 European Champion. In Group B, the Ship Elf will have a good chance of finishing in second place and may also be able to offer the Spaniards long paroli. In this duel, however, we are tipping for a clear and safe home win for the Enrique elf. Linked to this, we logically recommend handicap bets on Spain with HC (-1) for this tip forecast. The Sportsbook Tip wins if the Furia Roja wins with at least 2 goals difference. The odds offered for this are of course much more attractive than for normal winning bets in Spain.
