Ireland v Greece: Time, channel, team news

James Cox

The Republic of Ireland's Euro 2024 qualification campaign continues on Friday with an away clash against Greece.

Here's everything you need to know about the game:

Where is the game and what time is kick-off?

The match takes place at the Opap Arena in Athens. It starts at 7.45pm Irish time.

Where can I watch it?

The game will be shown live on RTÉ 2, while it can also be streamed on the RTÉ Player.

What's at stake?

Group B is extremely competitive so three points would be the best outcome for Stephen Kenny's men. Ireland lost 1-0 to group favourites France in their opening fixture despite a spirited display at the Aviva Stadium.

While a loss wouldn't be definitive at this early stage, it would put Ireland under a lot of pressure.

With the Netherlands also in the mix, second place will probably be contested between them along with Ireland and Greece.

Greece have three points after winning their opening fixture against Gibraltar.
