So far, Paraguay and Greece are tied in Group D. Whether the same trend
will apply to their scores in their June 28 match remains to be seen,
though.
La Albirroja had a shaky start in the first-round of the
qualifying tournament. They had to down Bolivia 5-1, and pull off the same feat
with hosts Argentina. Also, their balanced team and attacking prowess weren’t
enough to nudge them ahead of a draw with Mali, not to mention scoring only a
single point against Mexico. Paraguay has potential, but they have to work a
bit more if they want to increase their dominance and presence in Turkey 2013.
Like Paraguay, Greece is considered one of the strongest teams in their
continent. The Greeks have experience to their advantage, what with their
appearance in four out of the last six UEFA U-19 European Championships, and
their routing of Spain and Portugal 4-1 and 3-2, respectively. The hopes of
Kostas Tsanas’ team are also resting on Giorgos Katidis, Dimitris Diamantakos,
Kostas Stafylidis, Charis Mavrias, and Giannis Gianniotas.
Onlookers would be hard-pressed to see a sure victor in this match up.
In any case, expect either a draw, or Greece to come out on top.
