Greece - Netherlands

Greece enter this matchday 3 encounter at Toumba Stadium on a high, following a perfect start to their UEFA Nations League campaign. They arrive with momentum after securing consecutive victories, including a narrow 1-0 win against Germany on 27 September 2026 and a 2-1 success over Serbia three days earlier. The hosts are expected to rely on a defensive unit led by Konstantinos Tsimikas and Konstantinos Mavropanos to maintain their current form, despite the absence of the injured Pantelis Hatzidiakos.

Netherlands travel to Thessaloniki looking to build on a solid run, having defeated Serbia 2-1 on 27 September 2026 after opening with a 1-1 draw against Germany. The visitors face significant challenges, however, with key attacking threats Cody Gakpo, Donyell Malen, and Brian Brobbey all sidelined through injury alongside Frenkie de Jong. As the two sides meet on 1 October 2026, the Netherlands will rely on the experience of Virgil van Dijk to anchor a side seeking to overcome their recent history against Greece.
