Scotland vs Greece Prediction
- Scotland sprung a surprise to claim a 1-0 win in Greece on Thursday night as Scott McTominay's first half penalty proved the difference.
- The Tartan Army held firm to secure victory and will feel confident about finishing the job on Sunday evening.
- Greece, despite their first leg defeat, are not to be underestimated, however, as they make the trip to Scotland on a four-game away winning run, which includes victories in Ireland and England.
- The pair may play out a stalemate this weekend, which will be enough for Scotland to secure promotion to League A.

Scotland vs Greece Team News
- Ryan Christie returns having served a ban, but he may have to settle for a spot on the bench for Sunday's return leg against Greece.
- Steve Clarke oversaw a 1-0 win at the Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium on Thursday night and he could be tempted to name an unchanged XI here.
- That would see Lewis Ferguson start from the left wing in a 4-2-3-1 setup.
- With no injury or suspension concerns following Thursday's first leg loss to Scotland, it remains to be seen whether Ivan Jovanovic will make sweeping changes to his XI.
- That said, he may bring Vangelis Pavlidis into the side to lead the charge at the expense of Fotis Ioannidis as the focal point of the Greece attack. Konstantinos Karetsas replaced Giorgos Masouras for the second half on Thursday and the former could also start here.
- Jovanovic will be forced into one change as Manolis Siopis is suspended, with Christos Zafeiris set to deputise.

Scotland vs Greece Bet Builder Tips
Our Bet Builder Tips for Scotland vs Greece features Tzolis Over 1.5 Shots, Under 10.5 Corners and McTomminay Over 0.5 Shots on Target.
At the time of publishing it is a best price of 13/2 with BetMGM.
- In the first leg, Greece fired off 24 shots, and Tzolis was central to their attack, hitting the post from six yards (Sky Sports) and having three shots.
- He’s averaging 3 shots a game in the Belgian Pro League this season and took 5 shots vs. Finland and 2 vs. England in the Nations League group stage (last two games before this one)
- The first leg saw 11 corners (8 for Greece, 3 for Scotland), driven by Greece’s second-half dominance in Piraeus.
- At Hampden, Scotland may adopt a more controlled, defensive approach to protect their lead, reducing attacking risks that lead to corners. Five of Scotland’s last seven Nations League games had under 11 corners, and Greece’s away games (e.g., 2-0 win at Finland) often see fewer set-pieces when they don’t dominate possession as they did at home.
- The Napoli midfielder has been a key figure for Scotland, often contributing in attack. He’s had at least one shot on target in eight of his nine recent internationals including last game against Greece, making this a solid pick for Scotland.
