Scotland vs Greece

Scotland welcome Greece to Hampden Park for their third fixture in Group C of the UEFA World Cup qualifiers.

The hosts are unbeaten in the qualifiers but are back home, where they have struggled lately. Meanwhile, the Greeks often do their best work on their travels and will be feeling confident against the Scots.

Scotland News

Scotland have enjoyed a solid start to their qualifying campaign as they are unbeaten after two matches. They began with a 0-0 draw in Denmark before claiming a 2-0 victory over Belarus in their previous fixture.

Having been on the road in those two fixtures, Scotland are back at Hampden Park for Thursday's clash. However, their recent home form has been unconvincing as they are winless in four of their last five matches across all competitions in front of their fans, losing the last two on this run.

Scotland are often a bit more open when they play on their own turf, which often leads to goals in their home matches. Three of the last five home matches for Steve Clarke’s team have produced over 2.5 goals.

Greece News

Greece can also take positives from their start to the qualifiers, having picked up one win and suffered one defeat in their opening two matches. They began with a 5-0 home victory over Belarus before losing 3-0 to Denmark in their previous fixture.

One interesting thing about Greece lately is that they appear to fare better on their travels. Ivan Jovanovic's team have won their last four away matches across all competitions, a run that includes a 2-1 victory in England.

Greece often enjoy an open style of play, which has seen their last five matches across all competitions produce over 2.5 goals. The Greeks have also won at least one half in their last four away matches.

Head to Head

Greece and Scotland have two wins each in their last four matches. The Greeks claimed a 3-0 away victory in the last meeting between both teams during the UEFA Nations League in March.

Verdict

Scotland v Greece

Greece often do their best work on the road while Scotland have lost their last two home matches. A draw no bet could be considered for the Greeks, who are also expected to win at least one half in the fifth straight fixture.

There have been over 2.5 goals in Greece's last five matches, and a similar outcome could be on the cards here.
