Euro 2012 Qualifiers: E and F

07 October 2011 16:04
There will be a fiery atmosphere in the port city of Piraeus, where Greece entertain Croatia in what is likely to be the deciding game in Group F.

Croatia overtook Greece at the top of the table last month and a win for Slaven Bilic's side will guarantee them first place with one round of matches remaining.

A win for Greece will put them back in pole position before they go to Georgia on Tuesday, when Croatia host Latvia."There is a special way to handle these games," says striker Angelos Charisteas, the man who scored Greece's winner in the Euro 2004 final and who is back in the squad for the first time in over a year.

"We need to be patient, not rush things or get anxious about scoring an early goal and be extra careful not to concede.""We are very good at home and have proved in the past that we have the personality and mental strength to perform well under pressure."

Group E should see Holland finish as winners but in the unlikely event of the Dutch losing their remaining two games they will still go through as the best second placed team in Qualifying.
