Greece are treating Friday's Euro 2012 qualifier at home to Croatia as a cup final and are poised to sharpen their attack by handing striker Fanis Gekas a first appearance since he quit the national team last year.
The top two in Group F meet in Athens with a point between them as Croatia coach Slaven Bilic's leaders look for a win to reach the finals while the hosts must avoid defeat to stay in the hunt for first place before the last group games on Oct. 11.
