Predictions

GREECE - NETHERLANDS

  • The market leans one way without any real conviction. Netherlands is the shortest price on a book of 3.25 / 3.6 / 2.1 (1 / X / 2), an implied 44.9%. Across the three outcomes the book reads 29.0% / 26.2% / 44.9% on an overround of 6.2%.

  • Liquidity is strong — €19,925 already matched on the 1X2 market, putting this among the most heavily traded fixtures on the card. Prices in a market that deep are far more reliable than in a thin one.

  • Our monitoring has flagged unusual money on this game: 88% of the matched volume has gone on over 2.5 goals. Treat it as a signal to look closer, not as a tip in itself.

  • Greece team news: Manolis Saliakas and Dimitris Kourbelis could be recalled by Ivan Jovanovic for the Netherlands' trip to Greece.

  • Greece team news: Sotiris Kontouris and Giannis Konstantelias are the sole injury doubts for Greece in Thursday's fixture.

  • Netherlands team news: An ankle injury has forced Cody Gakpo to pull out of international duty.

  • Netherlands team news: Ruben van Bommel is set to step into the starting XI in place of Gakpo for Thursday's game.

  • Greece are without 1 — Sotiris Kontouris (Out - injured).

  • Netherlands are without 5 — Cody Gakpo (Out - injured), Frenkie de Jong (Out - injured), Mats Wieffer (Out - injured), Donyell Malen (Out - injured), Brian Brobbey (Out - injured).

  • Early lineups are in: Greece set up 4-4-2 against 4-3-3. See the pitch graphic above for the full XI.

  • Greece lean hardest on Dimitrios Kourbelis (8.3), Kostas Tsimikas (8.3), Panagiotis Retsos (8.3) on our Player Index — how much of the side's football each man accounts for, out of 10. It measures involvement and cover, not performance.

  • Netherlands lean hardest on Denzel Dumfries (7.8), Tijjani Reijnders (7.8), Ryan Gravenberch (7.8) on our Player Index — how much of the side's football each man accounts for, out of 10. It measures involvement and cover, not performance.

  • Cody Gakpo is out for Netherlands — index 9.1, against 8.9 for the best cover we hold at his position. Well covered.

  • Brian Brobbey is out for Netherlands — index 7.8, against 9.1 for the best cover we hold at his position. Well covered.

  • The projected score for this one is Greece 1 - 2 Netherlands, an away win by 1 with 3 goals in it — on the right side of the 2.5 line.

  • The read: Netherlands at 2.1 is the side the market is with, and nothing in the data above argues against it.
