Will Scotland keep a clean sheet?
Scotland will face Greece at Hampden Park on Thursday evening. The last meeting between the two teams was not long ago – six months ago, they faced each other in two Nations League matches. On both occasions, the away team won (0-3 in Scotland, 0-1 in Greece). In our Scotland vs. Greece tip, we are again predicting a win for the away team – this time for Greece.
The Scots have made a decent start to World Cup qualifying and are second in their group with four points after the first two games – level on points with the leaders. The first game was a goalless draw against the current leaders Denmark, followed by a 2-0 win against Belarus. This means that the Scots have yet to concede a goal in the competition.
In the four previous matches against Greece, both teams have never scored. In our Scotland vs. Greece prediction, we are betting on a continuation of this trend. Before the respective away teams won the last two matches, the respective home teams were the victorious teams in the first two matches in 1995.
Greece also got off to a successful start in the competition with a 5-1 win over Belarus, before suffering a sobering 3-0 defeat to Denmark. Among the goalscorers in the 5-1 win were Christos Tzolis and Konstantinos Karetsas, who also scored in the 3-0 win over Scotland seven months ago.
Scotland – Greece Head-to-head record / H2H record
The record between the two teams is very even: in four games, both teams have won twice. The goal difference is 4-2 in favor of the Greeks. The matches were spread across two Nations League games this year and two European Championship qualifiers in 1994/95.
Scotland – Greece Tip
In head-to-head matches, neither team has the upper hand – only Greece has scored more goals after their last 3-0 win.
In the last two Nations League matches, the away team won each time, with Greece putting in a particularly convincing performance, so we expect another resounding victory.
Scotland has had a better start to qualifying so far and has yet to concede a goal in this competition – only two goals were scored in the Scots’ first two games. Greece, on the other hand, has been much more prolific, scoring nine goals in its first two games. In terms of the table, this match is number two against number three.
