It’s the last game of the season. France welcomes Greece to the Stade de France for this match of the fourth day of qualifying for Euro 2024. A qualifying phase that the Blues started in a very good way, with three victories in as many matches, and without conceded any goal. Last Friday, the Blues won 3-0 against Gibraltar.
Tonight, in Saint-Denis, it will be a different story. Greece also got off to a good start in their qualifying campaign, with two wins in two games played. An almost unprecedented encounter, since the two European nations are not used to meeting each other. The last confrontation dates back to 2006 in a friendly, and there have only been 3 official matches between the two countries in history, the last at Euro 2004, concluded with a Greek victory in the quarterfinals. The two previous ones date back to… 1958.
