Australia coach Ange Postecoglou is looking forward to taking on an aggressive Greece side at the ANZ Stadium on Saturday.
A four-game winning streak for the Socceroos ended with a 2-1 loss to England at the Stadium of Light last Friday - Wayne Rooney and Marcus Rashford condemning them to defeat.
Saturday's meeting in Sydney precedes a second match between the two nations in Melbourne on June 7.
With the third round of Asian qualifying for the 2018 World Cup set to start in September, Postecoglou – one of a number of people involved in the Australian national team with Greek heritage – believes Greece are an opponent of sufficient calibre to help their preparations.
"Greece have had a bit of a shift. Their golden generation came to an end about the same time ours did. In the last four games it seems like they're a lot more aggressive, particularly in defence," he said.
"They push on a bit, unlike Greek teams of the past which were just hard to break down. They still are, but it looks like [coach Michael Skibbe] wants them to push on and be more aggressive. It'll be a good test for us, which is what we need."
"We'll have a decent hit-out at training and then I'll have a look at it. We'll certainly make a few changes just to bring in some of the fresher guys who didn't play," Postecoglou said.
"But certainly over two games the idea is to give as many of them a decent whack without disrupting team fluency and balance. We still want to play well, we still want to win."
