Greece is undefeated so far after three rounds of Group H competitions, beating Gibraltar, Cyprus, and Estonia in successive fashion. They are currently placed second in the group with fellow unbeaten team Belgium at the top spot because they have a lesser goal difference than the Belgians.

Bologna midfielder and Greece captain Vasilis Torosidis opened the match's scoring right in the second minute with the assist coming from teammate Petros Mantalos.
Augsburg defender Kostas Stafylidis then added to the lead one minute after the hour-mark of the contest to seal the game for head coach Michael Skibbe's side.
Meanwhile, 28th-ranked Bosnia and Herzegovina is currently at the third spot of the group table, three points behind Belgium and Greece with two wins and one loss so far in the tournament.
Bosnia defeated lowly team Cyprus, 2-0, at their home ground of Bilino Polje Stadium in Zenica also on Oct. 10, ESPN reported.
It was an uncharacteristically tough game for head coach Mehmed Baždarević's squad as they could not find a goal against the FIFA 139th-ranked team.
The Golden Lilies finally broke the deadlock in the 70th minute with a goal from Roma striker Edin Dzeko off an assist from Juventus midfielder Miralem Pjanic.
Dzeko and Pjanic repeated their play 10 minutes later to double the lead and seal the win for the hosts.
