Scotland enters this game in a good vein of form, as they are unbeaten in their last four matches, having drawn with Portugal before beating the likes of Croatia, Poland and Greece.
Despite challenging England to win League B Group 2, Greece’s form has fallen off slightly, as they have suffered two defeats in their last three matches.
All of Scotland’s three victories have been by a one goal margin, something that we expect them to repeat here.
Prediction: Scotland 2-1 Greece
On Sunday, 23rd March, Scotland hosts Greece at Hampden Park in what is expected to be a closely-fought battle in the second leg of their Nations League tie.
Date: 23/03/2025
Location: Hampden Park
Time: 5pm
Scotland came under huge pressure in the first leg of this tie, as they took just eight shots to Greece’s 24 while having just 43% possession, however, Napoli midfielder Scott McTominay come up trumps with a 35th-minute goal to give Steve Clarke’s men a vital 1-0 victory.
The Tartan Army have bounced back well considering they had such a dismal Euro 2024 campaign that saw them exit the Group Stages with just one point after three matches.
The hosts earned a third-place finish in Group A1 in dramatic fashion, as they suffered three defeats from their first three Nations League matches, however, a run of seven points in three matches saw them avoid automatic relegation to League B, as they drew 0-0 with Portugal, before beating Croatia 1-0 and Poland 2-1 thanks to a dramatic 93rd-minute winner from Andrew Robertson.
On the other hand, Greece are looking to restore their reputation once again under the management of Ivan Jovanovic having missed out on Euro 2024 via the play-offs as they were beaten by Georgia on penalties after a 0-0 draw.
Greece came agonisingly close to winning Group B2, as they won five and lost one of their six matches, while scoring 11 times and conceding four. Three of those four goals that Greece conceded were costly ones, as they were beaten 3-0 by England, who topped the group as a result.
Scotland versus Greece will be broadcast live on BBC Scotland, BBC Two, BBC iPlayer and BBC Sport’s Website.

Scotland
As previously mentioned, Scotland managed to win the first leg of their tie with Greece via a 1-0 scoreline as Scott McTominay scored the only goal of the game. That win means that the Tartan Army are on a three game winning streak, having beaten Poland 2-1 thanks to goals by John McGinn and Andrew Robertson in the aftermath of a crucial 1-0 home victory against Croatia.
Prior to those matches, Scotland had held Portugal to a 0-0 stalemate at Hampden Park after suffering a narrow 2-1 loss in Croatia, despite taking the lead through AFC Bournemouth midfielder Ryan Christie during that game.
Greece
Greece came remarkably close to winning Group B2 of the Nations League, however, their 3-0 home defeat to England on matchday five proved to be costly as they slipped to second-place, despite winning five of their six games.
Ivan Jovanovic’s men have managed victories over England (2-1), the Republic of Ireland (2-0) and Finland (2-0) while suffering defeats at the hands of England (3-0) and Scotland (1-0) in their last five outings.
