The duel between these two teams promise already before the kickoff a high voltage atmosphere. Since the existence of the Ukraine there were 4 games between both teams during the qualification for a big tournament:

Qualification for the EC 2004:

Group 6: 11.06.2003 - Greece vs Ukraine 1:0
Group 6: 12.10.2002 - Ukraine vs Greece 2:0

Qualification for the WC 2006:

Group 2: 08.06.2005 - Greece vs Ukraine 0:1
Group 2: 09.10.2004 - Ukraine vs Greece 1:1

If you face these 4 games then you it could be the team of the Ukraine who faces the role as clear favourite for the qualification to the WC in South Africa. But for all that Greece with their manager Otto Rehagel will be fight as hard as they could to get the ticket to the World Cup 2010 in South Africa!

My tipp: Greec will win the 1st leg at home short and will kepp all chances open for the 2nd leg next wednesday. The best odd for a Greece victory you find at the moment at Interwetten with 2,30!
