- 希腊队在最近五场比赛中获胜，其中四场胜利为零
- 在英格兰队最近的八场比赛中，两队都有六场得分
- 希腊上一次接待国际足联世界排名前十的球队时有四个进球，2023年希腊队与法国队战成2比2平
英国渴望弥补
由于在对阵希腊的比赛中表现糟糕，李·卡斯利几乎排除了自己在上一次国际比赛中担任英格兰队主教练的可能性。
一个没有前锋和大量组织者的实验阵容在温布利以2比1击败三狮军团时产生了巨大的适得其反的效果，虽然卡斯利表示他从未想要这份工作，但他很有可能只是为了挽回面子。
托马斯·图切尔（Thomas Tuchel）已被宣布为加雷斯·索斯盖特（Gareth Southgate）的继任者，卡斯利（Carsley）将继续负责2024年的最后一次国际比赛，比赛将从前往雅典的英格兰队开始，以弥补10月的惨败。
热主机可以再次联网
不过，希腊队将有信心复制他们的意外胜利，此前他们在温布利以2比1的胜利轻松地以2比0战胜了爱尔兰队。
周四的东道主在本赛季的国家联赛中表现出色，赢得了所有五场比赛，并在一场精彩的比赛中保持了四场零失球，他们肯定会在对阵三狮军团的比赛中再次表现出色，三狮军团最近一直在为零失球而战。
两队在英格兰队最近八场比赛中有六场都取得了进球，三狮军团上一次输给了芬兰队，防守中的一系列伤病表明，同样的赌注可能会再次降临雅典。
在雅典期待激动人心的相遇
哈里·马奎尔、约翰·斯通和卢克·肖都缺席了比赛，泰勒·哈伍德·贝利斯和刘易斯·霍尔的首次征召突显了这位2024年欧洲杯亚军的防守有多么短。
不过，他们仍然有很多状态良好的进攻球员，哈里·凯恩、科尔·帕尔默和布卡约·萨卡在本赛季开局不错，三狮军团也可以在雅典进球。
希腊前五名国家的最后一次访问；2023年的法国；结果是一场2比2的惊悚片，周四可能会出现类似的得分水平，这可能只会对客队有利。
预言：
两队得分
英格兰2-1
外文原文如下：
- Greece have won their last five games, with four of those victories coming to nil
- Both teams have scored in six of England’s last eight matches
- There were four goals the last time Greece hosted a side ranked in the top ten of Fifa’s world rankings, drawing 2-2 with France in 2023
England eager to make amends
Lee Carsley all but ruled himself out of the running for the permanent role as England boss during the last international break thanks to a calamitous performance against Greece.
An experimental lineup featuring no striker and an abundance of playmakers backfired massively as the Three Lions were beaten 2-1 at Wembley and while Carsley has stated he never wanted the job, there is every chance he was just saving face.
Thomas Tuchel has since been announced as Gareth Southgate’s successor, with Carsley remaining in charge for the final international break of 2024, which begins with a trip to Athens for an England side out to make amends for October’s shock defeat.
Hot hosts can net again
Greece will be feeling confident of replicating their surprise win, though, having followed up their 2-1 success at Wembley with a comfortable 2-0 victory over Ireland.
Thursday’s hosts have been sensational in this season’s Nations League, winning all five of their matches and recording four clean sheets in a brilliant run, and they are sure to give another good showing against the Three Lions, who have struggled for clean sheets of late.
Both teams have scored in six of England’s last eight matches, with the Three Lions conceding to Finland last time out, and a spate of injuries in defence suggests the same bet may land again in Athens.
Exciting encounter expected in Athens
Harry Maguire, John Stones and Luke Shaw are all absent, with first call-ups for Taylor Harwood-Bellis and Lewis Hall highlighting how short the Euro 2024 runners-up are in defence.
They do still have plenty of in-form attackers, though, with Harry Kane, Cole Palmer and Bukayo Saka enjoying a strong start to the campaign and the Three Lions can also find the net in Athens.
Greece’s last visit from a top-five nation – France in 2023 – resulted in a 2-2 thriller and a similar level of scoring could occur on Thursday, potentially just going in the visitors’ favour.
Predictions:Both Teams To Score
England 2-1
