Georgia vs Greece Preview
Greece made the most of their penultimate game against Croatia last Friday. Thanks to a solid performance, the Euro 2004 champions downed their opponents with 2 goals from Samaras and Fanis Gekas during the final moments of the encounter. It was vital for the Greeks to enter the 10th Matchday of the UEFA Euro 2012 qualifier with a 2-point advantage over second-placed Croatia. They won’t need to depend on the result of Croatia’s game against Latvia. Tickets for an automatic spot in Poland-Ukraine are theirs for the taking.
Malta vs Greece: Can The Greeks Top Group F After Match-Day 5?
Fernando Santos men are starting to pick form in the Euro 2012 qualifiers. Frustration captivated Greek fans after their team stumbled to two consecutive draws in the first stages of the campaign.

Georgia vs Cameroon - International Friendly Match Preview
Georgia vs Cameroon opposes two teams with a very different standard and status in the world of football. Georgia haven't experienced anything positive in the sport since becoming an independant following the break of the Soviet Union. Their poor 2010 World Cup campaign was a picture of the country's low class as a football nation.
Georgia were actually buried at the bottom of their table which comprised the likes of Italy, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Montenegro, and the Republic of Ireland. Three draws, seven defeats, and zero win; this, adding to the fact that the Crusaders have conceded fourteen goals in their last five matches, should be enough for anyone to understand that Georgia will have nothing to lose on Tuesday when they face Cameroon in Austria.
