The day after the defeat of the National Team by England – The news of participation in the World Cup qualifiers
[ad_1]
In a group of four teams in the World Cup qualifiers, Greece is very likely to be defeated by England.
No bad good, then, for the heavy defeat by the Three Lions? The next months will show that.
Unexpectedly, Galanolefiki will be ranked second in its group and will be forced to play-off matches with one of the four first division teams that will finish third in their groups, claiming promotion to the first division. If he loses, he will remain in the second division.
At the moment its potential opponents are Poland, Belgium, Hungary and Serbia. The matches are scheduled for March 20 and 23, the same week that the first two matches of the World Cup qualifiers for the five-team groups will be held.
The only sure teams to be included in the groups of four are those who make it all the way to the semi-finals of the Nations League. At the moment, the teams from the first division that have secured participation in the quarter-finals and will challenge for the title are France, Italy, Germany and Spain, while Portugal and Croatia are very close.
In a simulation of the World Cup qualifying draw carried out by We Global Football, based on today’s data, Greece have been included in a group of four led by Belgium who, barring any unforeseen circumstances, will be ranked third in Group A2 and may be drawn with the Blue and Whites and in the playoffs. Iceland and Latvia were included in the same group. 
If the Blue and Whites, who have almost secured a place in the second capacity group, are finally drawn in a group of four they will not cross paths with Moldova, Malta, Andorra, Gibraltar, Liechtenstein and San Marino who are currently in the fifth and final capacity group.
Also impressive is the fact that the same source gives Greece an 11% chance of finishing top of their group despite a defeat to England, quite a high figure assuming Ireland take points from the Three Lions at Wembley and our national team to beat Finland in Helsinki.
