Greece host the Netherlands at the Toumba Stadium in Thessaloniki in UEFA Nations League A, with both sides arriving off the back of contrasting opening results that have set up a compelling group battle.
Greece have made a stunning start to their Nations League campaign. Ivan Jovanovic's side beat Serbia 2-1 in Belgrade on matchday one before following that up with a 1-0 victory over Germany in Augsburg — their first back-to-back away wins since March 2025 and a result that ended a five-game winless run stretching almost a year.
The Netherlands, meanwhile, opened their campaign with a 1-1 draw against Germany before defeating Serbia 2-1 in Belgrade. Xavi expressed satisfaction with that first win as Netherlands head coach but was quick to point out areas requiring improvement — a sign that the Oranje are still bedding into his system.
The Dutch arrive with concerns over squad fitness. Cody Gakpo was forced to withdraw from the Netherlands squad after picking up a knock during the Serbia match, returning to Liverpool for assessment. Tottenham defender Jan Paul van Hecke has also been ruled out of international duty with a foot problem sustained during the same camp, leaving Roberto De Zerbi sweating ahead of a Premier League fixture.
Greece sit top of the group on six points, with the Netherlands one place below them on four. A win for the hosts would open up a significant gap at the top, while the Dutch need a positive result to keep pace in what is shaping up as a tight group.
Here is everything you need to know about where to watch Greece vs Netherlands, including TV channel, live stream details, and kick-off time.

Greece vs Netherlands Probable lineups



Starting XI

Manager
- I. Jovanovic
- X. Hernandez
Greece head coach Ivan Jovanovic is expected to name a side featuring Konstantinos Tzolakis in goal, with a back four of Georgios Vagiannidis, Konstantinos Mavropanos, Panagiotis Retsos, and Konstantinos Tsimikas. Konstantinos Karetsas and Dimitrios Kourbelis are projected in midfield, with Christos Zafeiris and Christos Tzolis providing wider support. Vangelis Pavlidis and Charalampos Kostoulas are expected to lead the attack. No injuries or suspensions are currently listed for the home side, though updates will be added closer to kick-off.
Xavi Hernandez is set to deploy Bart Verbruggen between the posts, with a back four of Jan Paul van Hecke, Virgil van Dijk, Micky van de Ven, and Denzel Dumfries. Ryan Gravenberch, Joey Veerman, and Tijjani Reijnders are projected in midfield, with Crysencio Summerville, Mexx Meerdink, and Ruben van Bommel completing the attacking unit. No additional injuries or suspensions are listed for the away side at this stage.
Form
Greece have won two and drawn none of their last five matches, losing two. Their most recent result was a 1-0 win over Germany, and they also beat Serbia 2-1 before that. In their three earlier matches, they drew 2-2 with Sweden, drew 0-0 with Hungary, and lost 1-0 to Italy. Across five matches, Greece have scored five goals and conceded four, with back-to-back wins to open their Nations League campaign representing their strongest recent run.
The Netherlands have won three, drawn one, and lost one of their last five matches. Their most recent outing was a 2-1 win over Serbia, and before that they drew 1-1 with Germany in their Nations League opener. They also beat Sweden 5-1 and Tunisia 3-1 at the World Cup before losing to Morocco. The Dutch have scored 12 goals across those five games.
Head-to-Head Record
The Netherlands hold a clear advantage in the recent head-to-head record, winning three of the last four meetings and losing one. The most recent encounter came in October 2023 during UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying, when the Netherlands won 1-0 in Athens — a result secured by Virgil van Dijk's injury-time penalty. The Dutch also won 3-0 in Amsterdam during the same qualifying campaign, though Greece did claim a 2-1 friendly win in the Netherlands back in 2016. The series underlines Netherlands' historical dominance, but Greece's current form suggests the gap between these sides is narrowing.
Standings
Greece lead Group 2 of UEFA Nations League A going into this fixture, with the Netherlands in second place. The home side can extend their advantage at the top with a win, while the Dutch know that dropping points would leave them with ground to make up in the race for a quarter-final place.
