Description
Greece plays a friendly game against Saudi Arabia in Spain (neutral venue).
Greece will be without the foreigners who participate in the championship outside Greece
(and these are a lot of players, Manolas- Roma, Papastathopoulos- Dordmud, Mitroglou- Marseig, Samaris-Benfica etc).
Only Tziolis will play (Tziolis plays in a club of Saudi Arabia). Also according to the latest reports two quality greek players
Fortounis and Xristodoulopoulos will not play today.
A lot of new persons joined the greek national team and to be honest I would not believe that will have this opportunity in the future
Risvanis, Xatziisaias, Giannoulis, Labropoulos, Galanopoulos, Pasalides, Nikolaou, Manias.
According to some reports Skibe said that Saudi Arabia is a team with players who are member of local teams.
It has a head coach who was former head coach of Chile.
Personally I will bet on Saudi Arabia due to the following reasons:
1) Greece has many absences but even with the absences does not play well. In the previous friendly game won
Egypt by 1-0 but the truth is that did not play well and Egyptians lost some chances for goals
2) Saudi Arabia will participate in the forthcoming Mundial and so I believe that the players have an extra motive and to see motive
