Gibraltar
Greece will start the qualifying campaign in a match against Gibraltar that will mark Gibraltar's return to the Algarve Stadium in Faro, where they have previously played for a short period of four years. Gibraltar is the absolute underdog of Group B, and Greece will have to attack from the start and secure the 6 points from the two matches if they want to keep their dream of direct qualification alive.
France
As product owner - Tony Sloterman says, "You have to know your opponents to be able to beat them." However, we can all agree it will take much more than knowing them to beat Les Bleus, led by the incredible Kylian Mbappé. The French national team has produced some of the most mesmerizing performances on the pitch, and expecting a positive result against them will be a long shot.
Netherlands
Being drawn into a group with France and Netherlands can be a tough pill to swallow for Greek football fans. However, let's not forget UEFA Euro 2004 and the historical performance that showed how the Greeks don't back down from a football challenge.
Ronald Koeman's side is known for its fluid style of play and the numerous positional rotations. They also play an extremely high defensive line which might allow Greece to capitalize on the counter.
Republic of Ireland
Although their conservative style of play quite often makes them a tough nut to crack, the Republic of Ireland is one of the two opponents against which Greece can push for the win and secure 6 points.
The first match against Ireland will take place in Greece, and the hosts can go into it confidently, considering that the Republic of Ireland has never won against the Greek national team. However, we should set all the trivia aside and expect a tough match against The Boys in Green, led by their captain, the Premier League legend Séamus Coleman.
