Scotland vs Greece – World Cup Qualifying
Scotland host Greece at Hampden Park on Thursday night in a huge World Cup qualifier that could shape the fate of Group C. Both sides have three crucial points on their minds, Scotland are unbeaten in their first two games, while Greece are looking to bounce back from a heavy loss to Denmark.
The atmosphere in Glasgow will be electric, and with both teams still very much in contention, we’re expecting a tactical battle that could go either way.

Scotland vs Greece Predictions
Best Bet Builder Tip – Scotland to Win @ 13/8
Steve Clarke’s men are in fine qualifying form, losing just once in their last 18 World Cup group-stage fixtures. They’ve kept clean sheets in their first two games and look confident at home, with Hampden turning into a real fortress.
Greece might be solid, but their away form has been shaky, just one win in their last five World Cup qualifiers. Add in the fact that Scotland are unbeaten in their last eight matches overall, and the value lies with the home win here.
Alternative Bet: To boost odds, add Over 1.5 Scotland Goals, the hosts have scored at least twice in five of their last seven home games.
Both Teams to Score Tip – No (4/5)
It’s been a consistent trend for both nations. Six of Scotland’s last seven competitive matches have seen at least one team fail to score, while eight of Greece’s last ten have gone the same way.
With both sides strong defensively but not overly creative in attack, BTTS: No feels like a smart inclusion. Expect a cagey encounter with few clear chances.
Alternative Bet: Under 2.5 Goals at 3/4 if you want to play it slightly safer.
Anytime Goalscorer Tip – Ché Adams to Score Anytime (11/5)
Adams is finding his groove again in a Scotland shirt, he’s bagged four goals in his last three international appearances and looks full of confidence leading the line.
At Hampden, he thrives on service from Robertson and McGinn, and Greece’s high defensive line could leave space for him to exploit. Adams is a solid pick for anytime scorer.
Alternative Bet: Adams to score or assist (6/4), a nice option if you expect Scotland to dominate the ball.
Shots on Target Tip – Christos Tzolis to have 1+ Shot on Target (4/6)
Tzolis has quietly been Greece’s most dangerous attacker, with four goals in his last seven caps. He scored at Hampden Park in March and will be key again on Thursday.
Even if Greece struggle for possession, Tzolis tends to get at least one effort on target, especially from range or counter-attacks.
Alternative Bet: Tzolis to score or assist (9/5) if you’re chasing bigger odds.
Final Thoughts
This should be a tight, tactical contest; both sides have quality, but play cautiously in big games. Scotland’s organisation and home advantage might just make the difference.
