A Sports Betting Pick by ArmchairPunter
Football : World Cup Qual: Group C
Venue: Georgios Karaiskakis
Monday 8th September 2025, 1945hrs (GMT)
Greece and Denmark will clash at the Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium on Monday night with the hosts looking for all three points to extend their lead at the top of the Group C table while Denmark will be eager to pick up a first win in the group stage of these World Cup qualifiers.
Greece got themselves off to a winning start in their World Cup qualifying campaign with a 5-1 thrashing of Belarus as Ivan Jovanović’s side built upon a successful Nations League campaign followed by encouraging wins in recent international friendlies.
The hosts registered a 3-1 win on aggregate against Scotland in the relegation/promotion play-offs so Greece will swap places with the Scots in League A in the next instalment of that competition, while victories gained over Slovakia and Bulgaria will also add to Greece’s confidence.
Denmark were held by Scotland to a 0-0 draw at home in their opening game of Group C on Friday night and the visitors now face a tough looking trip to Piraeus on Monday night, especially as they will come up against a free-scoring Greek outfit.
Nevertheless, the Danes are nothing if not resilient and they too bring a couple of victories gained in international friendlies with wins collected against Northern Ireland and Lithuania, while also retaining their League A status in the Nations League after finishing runners-up behind Spain in Group 4.
In addition, Denmark possess a remarkable record in World Cup qualifiers as Brian Riemer’s side have suffered just the single loss in their previous 20 qualifiers, picking up 15 wins and keeping a total of 12 clean sheets in the process.
The Betting Verdict
Whilst Greece and Denmark would both obviously welcome all three points here, neither side will want to lose this one - Denmark’s impressive run of results in qualifiers suggest backing the visitors with the handicap.
