UEFA Nations League LIVE: Greece vs England – radio commentary and live text

Greece went winless through 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 all four of their previous trips to face Greece by an aggregate score of 9-1 and have only had a better 100% win rate away to Luxembourg (5/5).

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

England are unbeaten in their last seven away games (W5 D2), their longest 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 scored for France last November, their longest run at home without their opponents since they went 617 minutes between February 2012 and October 2013.

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

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

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