The Greece national football team are all set to host the Slovakia national football team in an international friendly fixture. Pankritio Stadium is ready to witness the intense clash between the two teams.
The Greece national football team will be at home, which might come in as one of the advantages for them. They have seen ups and downs in the form recently. They have lacked consistency, which is very visible after witnessing their last few games. The hosts will have high confidence levels.
The Slovakia national football team will be coming in for an away fixture. They suffered a defeat at the hands of Slovenia in their last fixture. Slovakia will be looking to make a comeback here.
For that, they might come up with new tactics to outplay the opponents on the field, which may help them going forward.

Players to Watch
Vangelis Pavlidis (Greece)
The Benfica forward will be leading the attacking front for his national football team. After dropping some good performances with his club, Vangelis Pavlidis will now be looking to do the same for his country. He scored a couple of goals in the UEFA Nations League, but they were not enough to help his side get through.
Stanislav Lobotka (Slovakia)
The 30-year-old will play an important role for his side as they take on Greece next. Stanislav Lobotka can control the midfield well, and the team that can do well in their midfield areas prevails most of the time. The Napoli midfielder has done well for the Serie A winners, and it is now time to come up with a similar performance for the national team.
