Greece vs Kazakhstan Prediction
Greece are ranked 49th in the FIFA World Rankings and finished third in a tough group in the UEFA Euro Qualifiers. They also have more experience with qualifiers and even getting into some big tournaments over the years.
Kazakhstan, meanwhile, are ranked 100th in the world rankings. They finished level on points with third-placed Finland in their group. They are quite inconsistent and could be a force to be reckoned with on their day.
However, Greece’s experience should help them get into the final of the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying playoff League C.
