The last game of the Greek national team for the Nations League against Finland (17/11, 19:00) is far from procedural in nature, as in addition to the first place in the 2nd group of League B, its fate in the qualifiers is also largely at stake of the World Cup.
The Greek national team on Sunday evening (17/11, 19:00) brings the curtain down on its already successful presence in the 2nd group of League B in the Nations League, with the internationals and Ivan Jovanovic wanting to close the cycle of the six matches, both for psychological reasons, but much more for competitive reasons.
The “blue and white” remain alive in the hunt for the first place, however it does not depend entirely on their legs, since they want a better result than the match of England against rivals Ireland at Wembley at the same time (17/11, 19:00).
A second reason, if not of paramount importance, but just as serious, is the fact that the national team wants at least a draw to secure its presence in pot 2 ahead of the draw on December 13 for the World Cup qualifiers.
There are currently six teams fighting for five spots in pot 2. These are Greece, Romania, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Norway and Scotland. Of these six, one will remain in the third capacity group.
Greece are in danger of falling into Pot 3, making their task even more difficult, if only they lose in Finland.
How will this be done? As long as Slovakia, Czech Republic and Norway in the matches against Estonia, Georgia and Kazakhstan respectively do not lose and at the same time Scotland beat Poland away from home.
In the above scenario, we take as a working hypothesis that Romania will take the match against Kosovo, which was suspended, after the departure of the Kosovars.
In case, in the end, UEFA decides that the two teams will get one point each (remember that the match was stopped in the 93rd minute at 0-0), then Romania should also not lose in its last game against Cyprus, to overtake our National Team.
