Scotland's hopes of automatically qualifying for the FIFA World Cup rest entirely on this away game against Greece, given the likelihood of Denmark beating Belarus in the other Group C game.
Steve Clarke's side has 10 points from four group games so far in their qualifying campaign, with three wins and a draw, having scored seven and conceded only twice, leaving them level on points with Denmark, with the two sides set to meet in midweek. The Tartan Army are in excellent form heading into this game, with three straight wins, while remaining unbeaten in their previous five matches, including friendlies. What holds important significance is Scotland's victory in the reverse fixture between the two sides, as Scotland managed to overcome a goal deficit to secure a 3-1 win at Hampden Park.
As for Greece, the defeat against Scotland proved to be crucial, as it mathematically ended any hopes of a World Cup place for Ivan Jovanovic's side. Greece have now lost their last three matches in all competitions, with defensive issues being their undoing. They have not recorded a clean sheet in their previous four games and are conceding 2.2 goals per game in qualifying.
Greece have made a habit of scoring first in five of their previous seven; however, with Scotland in good form and with everything to play for, Steve Clarke's side should progress with a victory here.
Greece 1-2 Scotland.
