Netherlands have been busier, playing nine matches that included their World Cup run this summer. Four wins, four draws and just the one loss, against Algeria in a friendly, tells its own story. They put five past Sweden but also drew three of their last four outings, most recently with Germany.

Netherlands' longer unbeaten stretch stands out, though neither side has been fully convincing throughout.

Comparative Team Statistics: Greece vs Netherlands

History leans Dutch

The two sides have met twice on record, both in 2023 Euro qualifying. Netherlands won 3-0 at home and then 1-0 away in Athens, taking both games comfortably enough.

That was three years ago now, so it says more about a pattern than about either squad as it stands today.

Names from the last time out

Greece's goals in their most recent matches have come from Tasos Douvikas and Christos Tzolis, with Vangelis Pavlidis and Kostas Tsimikas both picking up assists. Cody Gakpo was Netherlands' scorer last time out, with Ryan van Bommel supplying the assist.

Bookings for Quinten Timber and Jan van Hecke on the Dutch side, plus one for Christos Zafeiris for Greece, are the only disciplinary notes from those games. None of this points to any fresh fitness concerns.

How the goals might stack up

Netherlands have scored 17 and conceded 10 across their nine matches, a pace of exchanges that regularly puts games well past two goals overall. Greece's numbers over seven games, 12 for and 6 against, tell a similar story, but their own matches have also included two scoreless draws and a couple of tight 0-1 defeats.

Put together, this looks like a game that could go either way on the sheer number of goals, depending on how open Greece decide to play at home against a side that has scored freely all year.

The goals record for both sides is inconsistent enough that neither a high nor low-scoring game would be a surprise.
