Both sides won their opening game of the tournament with the Greeks recording a surprising 2-1 victory over the hosts Portugal and Spain gaining the narrowest of advantages against Russia with a slender 1-0 win.
Stelios is likely to once again line up for Otto Rehhagel's side after recovering from a slight knock sustained during the weekend victory over the Portuguese.

Meanwhile former Bolton loanee Fredi Bobic was a late substitute for Germany in their opening Group D draw against Holland. The Hertha Berlin striker came on for the final few minutes of the contest which ended 1-1 thanks to a second half leveller by Holland scored by the Manchester United forward Ruud Van Nistlelrooy.
