Match odds
Over/Under 2.5 goals
Correct Score

Russia have won 13 of their previous 21 internationals against Greece, losing just three.

The Greeks have lost both of their previous meetings with Russia at the European Championship however; 1-2 in Euro 2004 and 0-1 in Euro 2008.

This will be the first time that two teams have met each other in three consecutive editions of the European Championship.

Greece are without a win in their last five games at the Euros (D1 L4).

Alan Dzagoev's first three shots on target at the tournament resulted in goals.

Five of Russia's last seven goals at major tournaments have been scored (one) or assisted (four) by Andrey Arshavin.

Alexander Kerzhakov is yet to manage a shot on target at Euro 2012 (nine off target, two blocked).

Russia are unbeaten in 16 games (winning eight).

Greece have managed just three shots in the first half of matches so far (11 after the break).

A win for Greece would see them through to the quarter-finals and Russia eliminated as long as the Czech Republic-Poland game does not end in a draw.

The Greeks have never won their final group game at the Euros (D1 L2) - one of those defeats coming against Russia in 2004.

Russia are unbeaten in their final group game at European Championships (W2 D1, excludes USSR).
