Greece v Russia Match Preview

15th June 2012By: Fantasy League

Group A: Saturday 16th June 17:00

Russia one point away from reaching the quarter-finals.


Greece

Greece's chances against Russia will be hindered by the absence of injured first choice keeper Costas Chalkias, who was substituted after just 23 minutes against the Czech Republic, with Michalis Sifakis continuing to deputise. Avraam Papadopoulous has been ruled out of the rest of the tournament due to injury, but fellow centre-back Sokratis Papastathopoulos returns after suspension.

Russia

There's little to report on Russia's starting line up, with eager early sources suggesting the same starting 11 that has led to their early success in this tournament. Russia are the top scoring team in the tournament so far with five goals from just two games. Although the Russians only need a draw to qualify, key duo Alan Dzagoyevand Andrey Arshavin will surely start.
