Gus Poyet attaches Euro eliminator status to Greece against Ireland

While Greece have entry into a four-nation playoff round assured by winning their Nations League group and Ireland will likely too once teams ranked above them secure their passage directly, Poyet doesn’t want to rely on that backdoor route.

ALL OR NOTHING: Gus Poyet has predicted elimination for Stephen Kenny’s side if his Greek team prevail on Friday night in Athens. 

Two games into Ireland’s Euro 2024 qualification campaign and Gus Poyet has predicted elimination for Stephen Kenny’s side if his Greek team prevail on Friday night in Athens.

France and Netherlands have justifiably been tipped as favourites to claim the two tickets for next year’s tournament in Germany from the group. For an upset to be countenanced, claiming maximum points against the others if the mission for an Ireland side seeded third when the nightmare draw unfolded last October in Frankfurt.
