- Competition: EURO 2024 Qualification
- Date: 21st November 2023
- Kickoff: 19:45 UTC / 20:45 CET
- Venue: OPAP Arena - Agia Sofia Stadium
Greece will continue their fight for a place at the 2024 European Championship when they host the French national team in the final match of Group B on Tuesday night.
Since winning the tournament in 2004 and reaching the quarter-finals in 2012, Greece have been pretty quiet in the Euros. The Blue and Whites have failed to reach the finals in the last two editions, and their faith in qualifying for EURO 2024 is not in their hands. To be able to qualify, Gus Poyet's men must beat France on Tuesday while hoping the Netherlands lose to bottom-placed Gibraltar.
When it comes to football, France meanwhile are one of those European nations to be reckoned with. At the last European Championship, the French were eliminated in the round of 16, but they have made a clear statement in qualifying for the upcoming showpiece tournament. Deschamps' side - along with Portugal - are the only nations boasting a 100% record in EURO 2024 qualifying.
Greece vs France Betting Tips: Under 3.5 goals
Greece have put in a solid defensive performance since the start of this competition. The Pirate Ship has only conceded more than one goal in one of its seven matches. Six of these games ended with three or fewer goals.
France did score fourteen goals in their last game against Gibraltar but that was a very rare scenario. Les Bleus have scored more than two goals in only three of their seven qualifiers so far, and five of their qualifiers so far ended with three goals or fewer.
Another reason why we expect a close encounter is the fact that recent meetings between Greece and France were very close. Each of the last three meetings ended with under 1.5 goals.
- Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals
- Greece vs France prediction: 0-3

Greece coach Gus Poyet will be without Dimitrios Kourbelis and Petros Mantalos on Tuesday after they picked up their third yellow card of the campaign in their last match against the Netherlands.
George Baldock made his first appearance for the Greek national team since his injury lay-off in the friendly against New Zealand last time out.
The right-back will keep his place on the right side of defence, while Liverpool FC's Konstantinos Tsimikas will play on the left.

France team news
PSG youngster Warren Zaire made history for France in the win over Gilbraltar as the 17-year-old became the youngest player to feature for Les Bleus post-war.
Zaire's debut ended sooner than expected, however, as he got injured while scoring his first international goal in the 20th minute.
Kylian Mbappé was once again the star of the show with three goals and in doing so, the PSG man has reached 300 goals faster than Messi and Ronaldo.
