Scotland vs Greece prediction and betting tips on March 23, 2025
Game Prediction
On March 23, 2025, the second leg of the playoffs for the right to play in Division A of the Nations League will take place between the national teams of Scotland and Greece. The hosts only need a draw to achieve overall success.
Our Prediction for the Scotland vs Greece Match
Scotland played in their second consecutive Euros. However, their performance in Germany was not better as they once again secured just one draw, against Switzerland, alongside two losses - notably losing 1-5 to Germany in the opening match. Greece, on the other hand, narrowly missed also playing in the championship. A year ago, they defeated Kazakhstan in the playoffs but lost to Georgia on penalties after a goalless draw.
In the Nations League, both teams played well. Steve Clarke's team initially suffered three consecutive losses. However, they then held Portugal to a 0-0 draw and won against Croatia and Poland, pushing the latter to fourth place. Greece, under their new coach Jovanovic, secured five wins in the autumn, including an away victory over England. But they lost heavily at home to the same opponent, finishing in second position. In the first leg at home, they failed to respond after conceding a penalty goal by McTominay in the 33rd minute.
McTominay and his teammates score precisely one goal per match. But they've begun conceding more, at a rate of 1.5 times. The visitors had a favorable record in 2024 - but their opponents were stronger at home. Pavlidis and his team score 1.9 goals per game, conceding significantly less - 1.4/0.7.
