One goal and then defensive tactics. With 24 shots conceded. But the wall erected by Scotland in Greece last Thursday held firm. And the result they took home—one-nil, of course—is an important step toward promotion to League A.
These two teams have met three times in their history, and three times the match has ended with the same result, which is not worth repeating. It is incredible, however, that the deadlock was not broken in the match a few days ago, especially given what the home side – who were in good form – managed to do during the match. It was a real siege from the first to the last minute against a strong but clearly not impenetrable defense. At the end of the day, Greece managed to get 24 shots on goal, but only one on target. This lack of precision allowed Napoli’s McTominay to score the decisive goal with a penalty in the middle of the first half.
So what will happen for the first time? With Greece committed to attacking to try to overturn the result – and they have the quality to do so – it is clear that both teams should find the back of the net. And perhaps, again for the first time, it could even end in a draw. Scotland would then manage to maintain their place in League A of the Nations League.

The prediction
So: after three encounters ending 1-0, this time Scotland and Greece should both find the back of the net. A draw is the most likely result in this match. Obviously, however, the odds for a goal are very tempting, and we would simply go for that.
