Bet of the Day: Greece to bag a consolation win in Piraeus

Croatians are all-but through already

Greece have a mountain to climb against Croatia in the second leg of their World Cup play-off.

Michael Skibbe’s team went down 4-1 in Zagreb on Thursday night in what all-but seals their elimination.

However, the Coral News Team loves these scenarios. There is always a bit of value to be eked out of games like this.

The Croatians know they don’t need to win with a three-goal cushion. It will take a minor miracle for the Greeks to overcome a deficit like that against a side as good as Croatia.

Greece are good enough to get a win on home soil, though. They have all the motivation to at least squeeze a win out of it.

That makes the 12/5 on Greece Coral’s Bet of the Day.

Fast and Furious in Piraeus

Anyone who’s watched Olympiakos in Champions League action will know how boisterous and passionate the crowd is in Piraeus.

The fans in the Karaiskakis Stadium are absolutely fanatical and nearly suck the ball into the opponent’s net.

This one will be no different. Win, lose or draw, the Greeks will be right behind their side. That will push the home side on. It could, and should, be a frenetic, end-to-end game.

The Coral News Team fancies goals at both ends here. Both teams to score is 4/5. A Greece Win and Over 2.5 Goals is 19/4.
