Greece v Belgium Betting Preview – World Cup 2018 Qualifiers 3rd September
Belgium are on a canter towards Russia 2018 and they go into this next fixture on the back of a resounding 9-0 win over Gibraltar on Thursday night. They are six points clear at the top of the group with three games to play and they could win the group with a victory in this one. The Greeks received a boost on Thursday, as they ground out a point against Estonia, which wasn’t a great result for them, but Cyprus’s shock win over Bosnia helped the Greeks consolidate their second place standing in the group.

Greece v Belgium Betting Tips
Greece will go into this tough home match in Group H six points back of Belgium, but only two ahead of Bosnia. It is the race for second which is of concern for the Greeks as they aren’t going to catch leaders Belgium. They only managed a 0-0 draw with Estonia on Thursday which was disappointing, but they did receive a boost as third placed Bosnia suffered a shock loss against Cyprus. So that means Greece gained a point in the battle for second. So far on home soil in the campaign, Greece have gone W1 D2 and you never expect high scoring games when the Greeks are around, so you can go under 2.5 goals at bet365 and that will return a price of 4/6. The Greeks did a fantastic job in picking up a 1-1 draw out in Belgium in the earlier group meeting with the Red Devils. The Greeks are unbeaten in their four previous home games against Belgium interestingly.
Belgium are actually behind 2-3 in the overall head to head with Greece, with three drawn matches and have won just one of their last six games against them. This is where the draw in the match outright may have some appeal because Belgium doesn’t even need to win this game. In the bet365 correct score market, the 1-1 option will carry some value on it. So there’s no reason for Belgium to go and bust a gut in trying to break down a tough Greek defence because a point is good enough for the Belgians. Belgium have scored 33 goals in their seven qualification games and have won all three of their away games so far in the group to nil. Belgium to win to nil in this one is a price of 6/4 to have a punt at. They destroyed Gibraltar on Thursday with Romelu Lukaku and Thomas Meunier both netting hat tricks, while Eden Hazard was on the scoresheet as well. So you have plenty of bet365 anytime goalscorer market options, but again this may actually be a low scoring match up.
