England and Greece this week meet in a Nations League fixture, in what is the first game between the two countries in 18 years, and another chance for Lee Carsley to impress as interim manager of the Three Lions.
Both sides won their opening two B2 games, convincingly defeating Ireland and Finland, but the Greeks sit atop the group due to their superior goal difference.
England come into the game as heavy favourites, and have never lost to their opponents in nine previous meetings, seven of which they won. It is the 2-2 draw and David Beckham ’s last-minute free kick 23 years ago this month that sent England to the 2002 World Cup, though, that remains the standout moment.
The Three Lions will be looking to extend that record to 10 games, as they look to make an instant return to Nations League A.
Date, kick-off time and venue
England vs Greece is scheduled for a 7:45pm BST kick-off on Thursday, October 10, 2024.
The match will take place at Wembley Stadium.

England vs Greece prediction
Despite the absence of Kane, it’s hard to see anything but a comfortable win for England here against a side 48th in the FIFA world rankings.
It will do Carsley’s job prospects no harm either.
