Greece World Cup Odds have them pretty much spot on but we think they might slightly under perform and fail to get out of the group. Betfair punters should lay Greece to qualify from the group stage and let the bet ride.
Greece seem to be slightly overfancied by Sporting Index and there should be a small profit to be gained from selling their group performance.
