One goal and then a shutout. With 24 shots conceded. But the wall that Scotland put up against Greece last Thursday held. And the result they took home – one to zero, of course – is an important step towards promotion to League A.
Three times these two teams have met in the past, and three times the match has ended with the same result that is not worth repeating. It’s incredible, however, that the match a few days ago didn’t end in a draw, especially considering what the hosts – who were in good form – managed to do during the match. A real siege, from the first to the last minute, against a strong defense that was clearly not impenetrable. In the end, Greece managed to kick the ball 24 times, but only once was it in the back of the net. This significant lack of precision allowed McTominay of Napoli to score a decisive penalty in the middle of the first half.
So what will happen for the first time. With Greece committed to attack to try to overturn the result – and they have the quality to do so – it is clear that both teams should be able to find the way to score. And maybe, again for the first time, it could even end in a draw. With Scotland, therefore, managing to keep its place in League A of the Nations League.

The prediction
So: after three draws and a score of nil-nil, this time Scotland and Greece should both find the net. A draw is the most likely result in this match. Obviously, however, the goal odds are very tempting and we would simply go for that.
