In comparison to the last game against Bosnia in October - which Greece won by a score of 2-1 while playing some wonderful football in the process - only one change has been made to the line-up by Van ‘t Schip; Benfica representative Odisseas Vlachodimos takes the place of PAOK goalkeeper Alexandros Paschalakis between the sticks.

Sebastian Vasiliadis has to be content with a place on the bench.

Konstantinos Stafylidis, who usually plays as a left-back, has once again been placed in the centre of defence alongside AZ Alkmaar star Pantelis Hatzidiakos. Petros Mantalos, Tasos Bakasetas and Dimitris Limnios will look to create danger in attack, with Willem II hitman Vangelis Pavlidis leading the line. Konstantinos Galanopoulos and Dimitris Kourbelis shield the defence.

Greece starting XI (4-2-3-1): Vlachodimos (GK) - Giannoulis (LB), Stafylidis (CB), Hatzidiakos (CB), Bakakis (RB) - Galanopoulos (DM), Kourbelis (DM) - Mantalos (LM), Bakasetas (AM), Limnios (RM) - Pavlidis (FW).

Kick-off is scheduled for 19:00 Greek time in Yerevan. Greece currently occupy fifth position of Group J, while third-placed Armenia must win to keep their Euro 2020 qualification hopes alive.
