Greece went winless across their first nine meetings with England in all competitions (D2 L7) before winning 2-1 at Wembley last month. The only teams to beat the Three Lions twice in the same calendar year are Wales in 1936, Italy in 1973, Belgium in 2018 and Hungary in 2022.

England have won on all four of their previous trips to face Greece by an aggregate score of 9-1, only holding a better 100% win-rate away from home against Luxembourg (5/5).

Greece are on the longest active winning run of any European nation in all competitions (5 games) and could win six consecutive matches for the first time November 2013.

England are unbeaten in their last seven away games (W5 D2), their longest such run on the road since 12 games in a row between March 2013 and October 2015 under Roy Hodgson.

Greece have gone 286 minutes without conceding at home since Youssouf Fofana netted for France in November last year, their longest run on home turf without their opponents netting since going 617 minutes between February 2012 and October 2013.

This will be England’s 16th game of 2024, only ever playing more games in 1966 (17), 2018 (17) and 2021 (19) – the Three Lions have lost four times this calendar year however, only losing more times in 1981 (5). 

Greece’s Anastasios Bakasetas has had a hand in 13 goals across his last 14 appearances in the UEFA Nations League (6 goals, 7 assists) and since the inaugural edition of the competition in 2018-19 is the only player to both score (6) and assist (7) more than five times.

Jack Grealish and Declan Rice both have the opportunity to score in three consecutive away appearances for England, with the last player to do so for the Three Lions other than Harry Kane being Wayne Rooney in June 2013.
