Greece will host England in a friendly on Tuesday at the Olympic Stadium in Athens. The match will be a warm-up for both teams ahead of the 2022 World Cup. Greece will be looking to build on their impressive performance in the UEFA Nations League, while England will be hoping to bounce back from their disappointing Nations League campaign.

Greece have a good record against England, having won three of their last five meetings. However, England will be confident of victory, having won the last two encounters between the two teams. The match is likely to be a close contest, with both teams having something to prove.

England will be without a number of key players for the match, including Harry Kane, Raheem Sterling and Marcus Rashford. However, they still have a strong squad, with the likes of Phil Foden, Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka all available. Greece will be looking to take advantage of England's absentees, but they will need to be at their best to get a result.

The match is expected to be a sell-out, with fans from both countries expected to travel to Athens. It should be a great atmosphere and a good test for both teams ahead of the World Cup.
