Both nations missed out on the 2026 World Cup, lending this fixture a sharp edge as each side auditions fresh faces ahead of the next Nations League cycle. For Greece, coach Ivan Jovanovi&#263; needs a morale-boosting result on home soil after a difficult spell. Italy, under interim boss Silvio Baldini, arrive in Crete with a youthful, largely uncapped squad seeking to rebuild confidence and identity.<\/p><div class=\"mux-tip-box\">\n    <div class=\"mux-tip-label\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"14\" height=\"14\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"><polygon points=\"12 2 15.09 8.26 22 9.27 17 14.14 18.18 21.02 12 17.77 5.82 21.02 7 14.14 2 9.27 8.91 8.26 12 2\"><\/polygon><\/svg> Our prediction<\/div>\n    <div class=\"mux-tip-main\">X2: Double Chance Draw or Italy<\/div>\n    <div class=\"mux-tip-row\">\n        <span class=\"mux-tip-odd-badge\"><a class=\"mux-odd mux-odd--link trk-cta-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.williamhill.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" data-m=\"x_greece_italy_19705003\" data-b=\"williamhill.com\" data-t=\"away\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>3.30<\/a><\/span>\n        <span class=\"mux-tip-bk\">on <img class=\"mux-tip-bk-logo\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.moveupx.ai\/logos\/bookmakers\/williamhill.com.png\" alt=\"William Hill\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\">William Hill<\/span>\n        <span class=\"mux-tip-conf\">&middot; Confidence Medium<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"mux-tip-compliance\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"11\" height=\"11\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"><circle cx=\"12\" cy=\"12\" r=\"10\"><\/circle><polyline points=\"12 6 12 12 16 14\"><\/polyline><\/svg> Odds recorded on 07 Jun 2026 at 04:00 &middot; Odds are subject to change<\/div>\n<\/div><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Match Analysis<\/h2><p>Italy enter this Athens friendly as the marginal favorite at <a class=\"mux-odd mux-odd--link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.williamhill.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" data-m=\"x_greece_italy_19705003\" data-b=\"williamhill.com\" data-t=\"away\">3.30<\/a>, backed by a FIFA ranking of 12th versus Greece's 47th and a commanding 7-1 all-time head-to-head record.

class=\"mux-lineup-confidence\">Medium confidence<\/p>\n<\/div><p class=\"mux-lineup-narrative\">A 4-2-3-1 against a 4-3-3 shapes up as the tactical contest here, with Greece looking to funnel play through a compact double pivot and <strong>Vangelis Pavlidis<\/strong> as the focal point up front. Italy, meanwhile, press with a fluid three-man midfield designed to dominate possession in the central zones.<\/p><p class=\"mux-lineup-narrative\">Spalletti has opted for a notably youthful Italian side, and <strong>Gianluigi Donnarumma<\/strong> stands as the clear senior presence behind a back four with limited international experience. Greece will fancy their chances of exploiting that inexperience, particularly down the flanks in what should be an open and instructive friendly ahead of the World Cup.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our Verdict<\/h2><p>Our pick is the <strong>Draw or Away (X2)<\/strong> double chance, priced attractively when you consider Italy's away odds at <a class=\"mux-odd mux-odd--link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.williamhill.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" data-m=\"x_greece_italy_19705003\" data-b=\"williamhill.com\" data-t=\"away\">3.30<\/a>. Italy's world ranking advantage, sitting 35 places above Greece, and a dominant head-to-head record support the selection. Their narrow win over Luxembourg showed a young squad capable of grinding out results. Greece's recent draw against Sweden was spirited but underlined defensive frailties. With both sides rebuilding, Italy's deeper talent pool edges the balance. 18+. Please gamble responsibly.
