Group 2 is another ultra-competitive group with newly-crowned European Champions Greece facing fierce rivals Turkey along with Denmark and Ukraine in the group. Albania will also be difficult to beat and Georgia and Kazakhstan are tricky away fixtures for all the teams. Greece's tricky opening game to neighbours Albania may be crucial to their chances, but they qualified for Euro 2004 after losing the first two games. Greece have a new found resilience under German coach Otto Rehhagel and expect them to fight it out with Denmark for top spot.
