Which nation in Group A2 will miss out on the quarter-finals?
Open poll and resultsNetherlands vs Greece prediction
Netherlands and Greece are level on eight points in Group A2, and with Jurgen Klopp's third-placed Germany waiting in the wings in on five points, neither side can afford defeat here.
The last time these two nations collided, it ended in a thrilling 2-2 draw. Xavi's Netherlands came from two goals down in Greece to grab a point, with Tijjani Reijnders equalising in the final minute of normal time. Neither team has tasted defeat in the group stage so far, and once again there is little to choose between them here.
This is easily the strongest crop of Greek players since they shocked the world by becoming European champions back in 2004, while the Netherlands are starting to look forwards under Xavi. With so much at stake, though, it would be no surprise to see a cagey encounter and the value move is backing the draw, which would make it the third consecutive group game involving Greece to finish level.
