Greece were held to a 0-0 draw in Athens last weekend by Ukraine and now face a difficult task in Donetsk on Wednesday evening in order to secure a ticket for the 2010 World Cup. However, head coach Otto Rehhagel is confident his men are up for the challenge.
"Wednesday, essentially, is the second half of this process and every player must now reach their limits. This is not a normal match where you can come back next week and correct any mistakes," Rehhagel said at the pre match press conference.
"Everything rides on this one game and we have to come up with a special kind of fighting spirit and passion. For me it is important when the game starts that we minimise our mistakes.
"All players survived the first match well with no injuries. On Wednesday we must be flexible and ready to adapt to anything. You know there's no way I'll discuss the lineup."
Midfielder Giorgos Karagounis and defender Sotiris Kyrgiakos, who missed training on Monday with minor injuries, were back on the pitch on Tuesday at the newly-built Donbass Arena.
