Greece Vs Netherlands in the UEFA Nations League arrives at a good moment for Ivan Jovanović’s side, with the hosts looking to continue their strong start after back-to-back wins. The Dutch, though, head to Toumba Stadium in Thessaloniki with several notable absences, which adds another layer of interest to Thursday’s fixture.
Last week, Greece recorded a comeback win over Serbia before beating Germany 1-0 on Sunday. That form has underlined the progress being made under Jovanović, and another positive result would make it three wins from their opening three Nations League fixtures.
Netherlands arrive short-handed
The big talking point for the visitors is the injury situation. The Netherlands are missing Jan Paul van Hecke, Donyell Malen, Brian Brobbey and Cody Gakpo, which removes a chunk of attacking and defensive depth from the squad.
That does not change the scale of the task for Greece, but it does alter the balance of the contest. With so many key names unavailable, the Dutch will need others to step in quickly if they are to match the level they showed in their 2-1 away win over Serbia over the weekend.
Where and when is Greece Vs Netherlands?
The match takes place on Thursday, Oct. 1 at Toumba Stadium in Thessaloniki. Kick-off is scheduled for 9:45 p.m. EEST, which is 7:45 p.m. BST, 2:45 p.m. ET, 11:45 a.m. PT and 4:45 a.m. AEST.
It is a meeting that feels important for both sides. Greece want to keep their momentum going and show that their improvement under Jovanović is real, while the Netherlands have to prove they can cope with the absences and still deliver in a competitive away fixture.

The fixture is listed as being shown on Fox Soccer Plus and Fox One, with streaming options including Fubo and YouTube TV. For viewers outside the US, services such as ExpressVPN, CNET, International Sports Plus and Sports Plus are also referenced in the wider TV information tied to the match.
For Greece, the challenge is simple: keep the confidence high and make home advantage count. For the Netherlands, it is about finding a response despite the missing players and avoiding a night that could damage momentum in the Nations League race.
