00:00It's Greece who actually top UNL Group B2 after the first matchday courtesy of their
00:143-0 win against Finland.
00:16It was the perfect way for Ivan Jovanovic to start his tenure, and he could make history
00:21here as no-Greece manager since the late Kostas Polychronia has won his opening two games
00:25in charge.
00:27And in an eerie twist of fate, his first game in charge came exactly 30 years to the day
00:31before Jovanovic's debut.
00:33Polychronia had to wait over a month between games, but Jovanovic gets the chance to make
00:38his mark just three days later when he takes his side to Aviva Stadium in Dublin looking
00:42to win a fifth UNL away game from their last six such outings.
00:46And it may be one goal that decides whether the Greece boss makes history, as their last
00:50three UNL away games have ended 1-0.
00:53While Ireland will be disappointed to have lost 2-0 against England in their UEFA Nations
00:58League opener, they'll be acutely aware they won't be playing that caliber of opponent
01:02every week.
01:03New boss Hema Haldromson claimed his side were second best against the Three Lions,
01:07but he'll hope that Ireland can be more competitive against a Greece side ranked 50 places lower
01:12than England.
01:13History would suggest that may not be the case though, as Ireland have never beaten
01:16Greece in five attempts, failing to score in four of those games.
01:20That includes a 2-0 defeat on this ground a little under a year ago in Euro 2024 qualifying,
01:26and a repeat outcome can't be ruled out for an Ireland side who have drawn a scoring blank
01:31in seven of their nine UNL home games.
01:33In March Day 2 of Jovanovic League Season 2024-25, League B, Gagarin wins in the Republic
01:43of Ireland, with Gagarin quick, and at the Aviva Stadium, at the end of Dublin Island.
01:53After March Day 1, Ireland lost against England 0-2, and Finland quick win the final with
02:02Finland 3-0.
