Scotland vs Greece Predictions
Scotland’s defensive form provides a platform at Hampden
Scotland have quietly rebuilt stability since their March defeat to Greece. That 3–0 loss marked a low point, but Clarke’s side have responded with greater structure and control, keeping three consecutive clean sheets while scoring six goals in that stretch. The results speak to a side that has rediscovered balance — solid at the back and efficient when chances arrive.
Hampden Park has been key to that resilience. Scotland have won 12 of their last 21 competitive games at home, including seven of their most recent 11. The familiar rhythm of home internationals — disciplined defensive shape and effective transitions — has often tilted tight games in their favour.
With qualification stakes rising, the Scots’ consistency and defensive record make them well placed to edge another close contest. They’ve shown the ability to manage pressure moments, and with Greece struggling for control away from home, that could be decisive.
Tip: Scotland to Win ( at N/A)
Greece’s vulnerability away from home remains a concern
For Greece, the main issue has been defensive stability. They’ve conceded in each of their last three matches, including a 3–0 home defeat to Denmark where they were second best throughout. That result extended a concerning pattern — four goals conceded across two fixtures last month highlight a side lacking defensive assurance when facing teams with growing momentum.
Away from home, that fragility can be even more costly. Greece have struggled to maintain compactness over 90 minutes, particularly when asked to recover from early setbacks. Without a recent clean sheet and coming up against a Scotland side that looks confident again, they may find it difficult to contain the hosts’ rhythm.
If Scotland continue to build patiently and exploit moments of defensive hesitation, another clean-sheet victory looks within reach.
Tip: Scotland 2–0 ( at N/A)
