Unbeaten Group F leaders Greece will know their fate in Tbilisi when they’ll affront Georgia on Tuesday night in the very last Matchday of the Euro 2012 qualifying campaign.
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.
The pressure is firmly on Croatia to turn the table around. Georgia certainly have the potential to let Greece drop points; a year ago, they almost stunned the Greeks in Piraeus but Spyropoulos saved his side from losing to Iashvili’s early goal with a 72nd minute equalizer.
So, pundits may like to think that the Greeks are now aware of what’s at stake enough to face the Georgians with the right mentality in Tbilisi. If Greece don’t reach Poland-Ukraine on Tuesday night, call the situation absurd.
