Match-day 5 of the Euro 2012 qualifying campaign goes in favour of Greece. It’s down to them to make the most of their Malta game and hope that Georgia vs Croatia go their way.
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. However, narrow victories over Latvia and Israel respectively have turned the tables around for the 2010 World Cup losers.
Greece are now just behind Croatia in Group F and they stand a great chance of toping their section after match-day 5. The good news for the Greeks is that they will be playing Malta who are toothless, so expect 3 more points to fall in the bag of Saturday’s visitors. Portuguese coach Fernando Santos is looking forward to a victory against Group F’s bottom side.
“We have to win in Malta. We are favourites, but it won't be easy,” he told UEFA.com.
“We need to be focused and prove our superiority on the pitch.”
Greece may clinch the 11-point mark, but will Croatia remain with 10 points after visiting Georgia this weekend? Croatia manager Slaven Bilic said, “We are a better side with more quality than Georgia, so we will win this match”.
Confidence is high in the camp of the Croatians and it will take strong muscles for the Georgians to record only their second victory in the Euro 2012 qualifiers after getting 3 draws. Croatia, by the way, are unbeaten so far...
